I had to put in a counterpoint to the negative reviews this tape has gotten, because it's a favorite for a short workout. And it is short, only about 30 minutes total. There are three reasons I reach for this tape. First, the floor work is slightly dancy and makes a choreographically impaired person like myself feel a little more like a dancer. Another reason is that even at my high intermediate/low advanced level, I still get a decent workout (but I modify some moves to be even higher impact that the alternate shown). And finally, Petra's cheerful style perks me up. Yes, the other exercisers are wooden and not helpful. But I would recommend this tape to intermediate exercisers for pure fun.

Instructor Comments:
I really like Petra. She's encouraging and friendly and most of all, fun! Okay, maybe a couple of cues are a bit off in this tape, but it comes later when you're putting the combinations together, so you really already know what's coming next anyway. It's minor and I like her well enough to overlook it.
