I can only make positive comments about this video. However, it is not for me.

I agree with other reviewers that this is one of those rare videos that can be used by people of all fitness levels. But advanced exercisers will really need to get into it and give it their all. That is hard for me to do, because part of giving it your all means making your body move in ways my body doesn't want to move. I have decent coordination, I love dancy choreography - the more complex the better, and I always have the patience to learn something new, but there is something about this type of dancing that I just can't do. While I can get the feet and arm movements, it is the area in between my feet and arms that get screwed up. Your hips need to be going in one direction and your knees in another.

If I were a beginner/intermediate or a hip-swiveling advanced exerciser I could really enjoy this tape though. It really is a nice routine, and I did have fun with a few of the dances. Overall, I would say it is another excellent production from Kathy Smith, but it is just not what I need right now in my rotation.

Instructor Comments:
Kathy is her usual self in this video, very energetic and encouraging. She looks great, but I found the twin-set she wore to be a little out of place in this video.
