This is Marcus' most complex choreography to date. Marcus has a talent for making the complex do-able, though, and that holds true with this workout. The format is the same as other tapes in his Choreography 2 Go series: you start right in (no warmup or cooldown) and proceed through 20 to 30 different routines which are not repeated. Usually, there are around 25 different routines. The tapes are divided into 3 sections of increasing complexity. This one starts off complex in section 1, and builds to a real brain-burner in section 3. In section 3, he uses 4 -- yes 4! -- steps. However, he shows you first how to do the routines on one step, then two steps, and finally four. I just stay with one, since that's all I have. As complicated as it is, though, it's surprisingly do-able thanks to Marcus' teaching ability. And he manages to teach you this without endless repetition or boredom. I never get bored with any of the Choreography 2 Go tapes. Even if there's a routine you don't particularly care for, you know it's going to change in a few minutes.

Marcus' personality, as usual, shines. He's very engaging and shows a great sense of humor. He's not afraid to laugh at himself if he goofs (which, fortunately, he doesn't do much!). The production quality isn't the greatest, but it's not too bad. I'd describe the quality as something between Sara's City and CIA (better than Sara's but less than CIA's).

If you like Christi Taylor's or Marcos Prolo's step workouts, you'll probably like this one, too. Grade A.
