Even though this video is several years old, I really like it a lot, it doesn't feel as dated as some other "older" vidoes. It is a low int/adv level, less intense than Kari Anderson's Great Moves tapes that are also rated int/adv, maybe on par with Firm Fat Blaster- done without any modification.

Gin takes basic, not too dancey moves and puts together a quick moving, non-repetitive routine. There are not repetitive up-down, up downs that many tapes have. Its mainly a step tape, but does incorporate floor moves. I found it a fun, quick moving tape, almost like an intermediate, non-interval Intense Moves. (If that makes any sense) Anyway for an intermediate or low int/adv, I give it an A. There are some cueing mistakes that appear to have been made in editing, but if you have stepping experience, you can probably overlook them. At the time I reviewed this tape, I was high int/adv. I still use the tape on an 8 inch step and add power to some of the moves. Good for a day where I can't face a superhard workout.

Instructor Comments:
Gin is a great instructor, but there are editing flaws in this tape that can be quite distracting. As was pointed out in another review, on one sequence she cues the move the second or third time she does it, which made me go "huh?". She's more personable in this video than the step and power step tapes.
