This video is so much fun! I had a ball with those ballroom aerobics!! What a hoot! I just adore Tracie and believe that I would do just about anything she shows me on video no matter how dorky I look!! I've even got the rodeo down pat from her basics tape. This was a fun, but not too complex, mostly aerobic workout. There was some weight work but it was pretty light, IMHO. There is also some great floorwork at the end along with ab work. There have been some comments about the ballroom aerobics being confusing or a little complex. I, for one, had no trouble whatsoever with her cuing or the steps themselves. I do, however, like complex choreography (even though it takes me a while to learn Christi) so that may be why I had no trouble with this video. Beginners, don't let the "advanced" status of most Firm videos scare you off from this video. The weight work is minimal for an intermediate or advanced exerciser but for a beginner would be just about right. The length of the tape would be the only thing that a beginner might have trouble with, I believe it's slightly over an hour long In that case a beginner should just do half of the tape at a time, if they wish.

Instructor Comments:
Well, what can I say about Tracie Long. She ROCKS!!! I'm am a die hard Tracie fan, always will be. That being my personal opinion, some may find her to be very dry like Karen Voight and somewhat rigid in her delivery. These are some of the things I like about her. I think she is very professional and really knows her stuff. I've learned a lot about form and lifting technique from doing her videos.
