Robert Mellott (who introduces himself as Bobby) starts off with a high/low section that never slows down until the very end. I should call this high-impact -- not high/low. It's wonderful! He keeps you moving at high intensity throughout the whole 35 minutes, and it feels great! I want more of this guy! The choreography is not hard to follow. I'm not sure whether to call it intermediate or advanced in terms of choreography, but it's definitely athletic and not dancy. He also inserts intervals/plyos here and there. This section deserves an A!

Next are Tina and Debi co-teaching a step routine. It looks fun, and I suppose it would be if you're in the right frame of mind, but it didn't do much for me. Some of the dancier-type moves they did just didn't seem to add much either in interest or intensity. But the instructors are very friendly and likeable, and good at cueing. Grade B.

Instructor Comments:
All three instructors are very likeable. The routine done by Tina and Debi wasn't really my style, but they're very engaging instructors. Robert is awesome!
