This one is already in the Hall of Fame, so I just wanted to attest to the fact that it has stood (eek! or is that "withstood?") the test of time. I loved this video when it first came out and 7 months later, it is still my all time favorite step video.

As others have said, it's fast-paced and she doesn't break down moves that have been in her earlier videos. The choreography is complex at first, but not as complex as something like Christi Taylor's 9801. There are a number of "across the step" type moves -- moves where you skip across the length of the step or grapevine across or scoop three times and exit -- and shuffle-pivot. The last section has an intense series of lunges across the full length of the step. Overall, you get complexity, variety and a serious workout. I'll bet I've done this tape 20 or 25 times and I still love every minute of it!

Instructor Comments:
Cathe rules! She cues perfectly through every combo, maintains perfect form and manages to make you have fun. She is a gifted teacher and I relate well to her warm and natural personality. And she's cute too!
