Joan's section also consisted with the warm-up. I will not be coy, Joan's cueing is terrible and hard to follow; BUT I really like the workout. The choreography is alot of fun and fast paced. Mambas, over the tops, lunges lengthwise over the step, pendelum move and an *Irish jig*. She also threw in some jumps over the step, reverse turns and other fun moves. BUT if you can't get passed the lack of cueing, then this part is not for you.

Then Dawn comes in with interval stepping. The choreography is simple but this is a cardiovascular challenge. She doesn't use combos, she does a few moves over and over for the heartrate to go up and then simpler, recovery moves. But it's not so repetitious that you become bored.

Lori has the last segment and I like this as well. She is good at cueing and the routine easy to follow, but still lots of fun. It reminded me of Donna Read in 9701. She teaches a few combos and goes back and starts all over again. There are kicks, reverse turns(now everybody is doing them!) and lots of straddles at the end of turnsteps. You work off all sides of the step.

So, over all, I'm quite pleased with this tape. It was certainly worth the risk of ordering it before I knew who was in it. I give it an A

Instructor Comments:
Joan Pitt-I found to be very likeable personality and she is inspiring to me 'cuz she's (how do I say this without offending anyone) older than I am. I would guess about her mid-forties and still going strong!

Dawn Pappas-Although I'm familiar of Dawn, this is the first tape that I've seen of her. I found her likeable, encouraging without over doing it.

Lori Saitta-This is also the first time I've seen her and I liked her as well. Her cueing was good and she came across as really enjoying the workout.
