Great Moves: Just Step

Andre Houle
Year Released: 1997

Categories: Step Aerobics


While the combinations that Andre presented looked fun and interesting, I found them very difficult to follow. I am not usually intimidated by complex choreography (I usually pick up the choreography on Cathe Friedrich and Kari Anderson's tapes pretty well on the first run-through), but I found myself frustrated trying to keep up with this one. I viewed the tape once and attempted it twice, and it didn't get much better. Also, my heartrate kept dropping out of my target range while I was trying to learn the combinations. Although I'm sure it would have been a fun tape once I learned the choreography, I have many other tapes that are just as complex but easier to follow and give me a better workout. I know that the Great Moves series is meant to be for instructors so the pace has to be slower to teach the moves, but I never was this frustrated with any of the Great Moves tapes that Kari Anderson has done.

Instructor Comments:
Andre's cuing wasn't what I hoped it would be. Maybe it was his different terminology or the fact that his cuing was a little late, but I just found it difficult to follow.
