This tape is from Sara's City Workout, and will be one of the few Sara's tapes that will be on my video shelf for a long time. I'm often turned off by the production quality of Sara's tapes, and the quality in this one isn't any better. However, the choreography is so much fun, I don't care. If you liked Andre's CIA step tape (I think it was 9901?), you'll like this. The choreography is advanced, but do-able and not overly dancy. Andre breaks down the routines extremely well, and he keeps things moving (he doesn't over-teach). The music is rather bland, but not bad -- but the same music is played over and over, which is rather odd. The one irritation I found with this workout is Andre likes to turn around and face away from you so you can see the moves from behind. He's continually back-and-forth, back-and-forth. People like us who are used to doing exercise videos will most likely hate this. We're used to mirroring the instructor. People in a gym might not be, but those aren't the people likely to buy workout videos anyway. This was a major turn-off for me the first time I did the video, but now after three times through, it's just more of an annoyance than anything. Besides, his cueing and teaching are good enough that I don't have to look at him if I don't want to. Grade A.
