I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this one because I haven't really liked any of her other step videos. The choreography is interesting without being super complex. The music is pretty good by exercise video standards and haven't heard it in any other videos. The warmup (10 minutes)has some challenging choreography that is not repeated in the body of the workout. The main workout consists of two choreography blocks with power moves inserted here and there (about 30 to 35 minutes). There is a bonus choreography block that lasts for about 5 minutes, then a cooldown and stretch (10 minutes). The stretch is wonderful.

Pros: Petra, music, choreography, modifications shown throughout, nice stretch at end

Cons: Breakdown of the choreography during the main workout is slow at times, but this would be helpful for someone trying to learn more complex step choreography.

If you are a fan of Gay Gasper, Rob Glick, Donna Read or Marcus Irwin's step routines, you might like this one. If Seasun is your cup of tea, you might not be challenged enough.

Instructor Comments:
Very likeable, upbeat and encouraging. Excellent cuing.
