Overall, an excellent step tape - I'd highly recommend it to the intermediate/advanced stepper. I almost never preview videos before I do them (sometimes a mistake), but with Jay's, I got 95% of the moves the first time around. He is an excellent at queing and presented many modifications - a big bonus. The coreography was not so complicated that you had to re-wind it several times, and was not so easy that you'd get really bored with it very easily. My only complaint was that there seemed to be a lot of basic steps while Jay was trying to preview a move - this may have been good, since its good to preview a move before it was done, but I would have rather had done something else at times, such as knee up side to side, a pony side to side, etc.

Overall Jay is a great at queing and is an excellent instructor. This video is fun and challenging (does through in some power moves, so its intense as well), though not so coreographically hard you'll be frustrated. I also like the time format; sometimes you don't have time to do a full 45 minutes of cardio (the step section lasts about 31 minutes, but my heart rate got up there in the warm-up, so I got a little extra). I highly recommend this tape.
