Here I go, reviewing another tape that has been out for ages. Step Ahead is over a decade old and in some ways (the set, the hair) it shows. In other ways, though, it will never be dated.
Why does this tape still deserve a look?
Well, it is a great routine with interesting but moderate choreography, safe stepping speed, and an incredibly fun soundtrack.
Those used to Cathe and others may not find the choreography all that exciting. The most complicated steps are some hop turns and diagonal over the tops with a u-turn. They may also find it a little slow. I didn't mind. I just raise my step height to eight inches and really exaggerate my movements and I actually get my heart rate higher than when I do a Cathe video.
It isn't too hard to want to throw yourself into this routine. The soundtrack is kind of old school hip hop and dance music. It is not like any other video that I have. The second song after the warm up is especially fun.
Candace is an excellent cuer and pays attention to safety at all times.
The workout is long-- over one hour including warm up and stretch (which is very thorough, by the way). So, if you are looking for a long step workout with moderate choreography that lets you work up a sweat, this video may be just the ticket.
