Blast to the Past

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


I got this on eBay eons ago and just got around to it recently. I wasn't sure at all what it was going to be like in terms of style, intensity, quality, etc, but the price was right. (I paid $2 or $3 for it.) As it turns out, it's a low-impact experienced beginner/intermediate floor aerobics workout done to AWESOME 50's music by the original artists. Ken Alan himself is very dynamic, likeable, and an all-around fun guy. He needs to be on a CIA tape (although perhaps at a more advanced level). The quality of this tape is poor -- it is not a professional recording -- but at least you can hear the music, unlike some others :) It is taped from a live class, so there are lots of people. At some points, he disappears from the screen because the camera stays stationary. The picture is a little grainy. Did I mention the music is AWESOME?!? Despite the poor quality of the production, I think there are a lot of VFers who might be very happy with this. Unfortunately, I don't know where to get it. Ken Alan's web site is www.aerobeat.com and he does have some videos for sale, but I didn't see this one there. It might be worth an e-mail to him, though, if this sounds like it's for you.
