As part of the Great Moves series, this is mainly designed for instructors who are looking for new choreography. However, it's done in the format of a regular workout, so it's suitable even if you're not an instructor. The choreography in this class is a lot of fun, and so is the music. But there is too much "building" of routines instead of doing. That's a limitation of the time frame, I know (38 minutes). Since you're "building" so much of the time, your heart rate doesn't get up for an extended period. If there were 10 or 20 minutes added on of just "doing" what we've already learned, it would be a great workout. I was undecided about whether to keep this, because it's not really a complete aerobic workout (due to the problem mentioned above). But after doing it again this morning, I've decided it *is* a keeper -- I had a really good time with it. So my plan is to do it on my weight-training days and use it as a (very) extended warm-up.
I give this an A for creativity and fun, but a C for intensity.
