This is a really fun video and a great way to move up in choreography complexity. The choreography is complex and hip enough to keep me going for a long time to come, but I was able to do it and really "work it" after just a couple times through the video. I rewound the last 2 1/2 minutes the first couple of times through to practice doing the entire routine.

The set is pretty cool - kind of nightclub-ish but bright and colorful enough that I don't feel like I'm doing dungeon aerobics ala Dance Step and Strong & Smooth Moves. I think the flashing lights would be kind of annoying if you watch the TV the whole time but since my TV sits so low I tend not to watch it once I get the steps down.

I do this video on a 6-inch step and really pour sweat during the 50 minutes. I think an advanced exerciser could easily use an 8-inch step and add a bit more power to increase the intensity.

Instructor Comments:
I like Petra Kolber in this video (I wasn't too fond of her in Long & Lean or Dance Step). Her cuing is excellent. She doesn't give quite enough pointers on form - I especially need to be reminded about what abs and knees should be doing - but that may be because she's so busy keeping the viewer from tripping over her own two feet.
