This is an intermediate dancey step work out with toning at the end. I like the way she uses several different dance styles, especially in the warm up. This is a fun work out and also a good source of ideas if you teach or make up your own work outs to do at home. The set is pleasant, but the production quality is poor. The music can be hard to hear, and the picture is grainy. Sometimes the tracking goes out. It is too bad because Victoria seems like a great person and teacher. Her exercisers act like they're at the proctologist (maybe that's why she seems more sedate than Donna too. No one to play off her). I like the work out and the hip, dancey feel. Victoria has a nice spirit and zest. The video quality detracts from my enjoyment of this work out. Hopefully, a better producer will discover what a gem she is and better tapes will be forthcoming.

Instructor Comments:
Think of Victoria as Donna Richardson-lite. She has the same funky, urban style as Donna, loves attitude, but has less of that "hey-ho, hey ho" thing going on. She has a very easy, laid back friendly approach that I like. She not only encourages modifications for intensity, but also for soul (make it lyrical or hip hop, what looks good on you). She obviously gets it that working out should be fun. She cues well and seems very down to earth. I like her style.
