I'm only reviewing the step portion of this tape, because the high/low didn't look like much fun to me. I may go back and try it someday, but for now, I'll just stick with the step part.

The first time I did this, I really didn't know whether I liked it or not! The music is PHENOMENAL -- vocal renditions of songs like Celebration, Black & White, and a bunch of other really great songs that I'm forgetting the names of. This music really makes you want to move.

I don't think the choreography really goes with the music all that well. I've decided that I do like it, but the music just screams for someone like Franny or Cathe or Patrick -- or anyone more athletic-oriented -- who can really add the energy that the music deserves. Sherry's choreography is a little dancy and not as energetic as what would "feel good" with the music.

That doesn't mean, however, that her choreography is not intense. Once you start putting the combos together, you're working! Especially at the end, when you put all the combos together. She does it once all the way through at the end, but I'd like to do it one more time.

I'll rank this step portion as an A-. I'll use it mostly in combination with other tapes (the step is about 37 minutes).

I dearly hope CIA will use this soundtrack in some other tapes. But one suggestion -- the second song (the one after Celebration) is horrible, whatever it is! I hope it can be dropped out if this soundtrack is used in future videos.

Instructor Comments:
Sherry is sort of low-key but an effective instructor nevertheless. She's a little on the dancy side, but not so much so that I couldn't do/follow the moves.
