Steppin in Rhythm

Pam Cosmi
Year Released: 2005

Categories: Step Aerobics


This dvd is approximately 60 minutes long. It is produced by Greg Twombly of CIA fame. It uses the CIA background. Music is a techno-rock beat/instrumental. Outfits are new-agey.

The warm-up is 13 minutes long and is probably more intense than most workouts. The body of the workout is 41 minutes and contains 3 blocks of coreography. Everything about the choreography is unique and interesting. On the first block, she uses "Tire Tracks" which is a move where you stomp on all corners. I haven't seen that move in a long time. Then there are other moves that I've never seen on video. The third block was my favorite with the sincopated moves.
She intersperses cardio blasts throughout the workout to keep your heart rate up. Ends with a short cool-down.
Intensity High intermediate to Advanced.
Choreography Advanced, but she is a superb cuer so it doesn't seem so hard. She cues a couple beats ahead so by the time your brain catches up with your feet, you got it!
I loved this dvd. This type of program is why I initially fell in love with step.
I'd give Pam an A+ for cueing and the dvd an A- for a few minor things such as the music isn't "Christi" quality.

Instructor Comments:
Very, very cute. She has a deep voice with a unique accent. Excellent cuer.
