 Tough..but doable September 18, 2008

This workout is definitely doable, even if you don't have a dance background. I just got this DVD today and learned the 1st combination up to tempo in 30 minutes - I'm just giving myself plenty of time to learn the routine. I'm wondering if I have the same DVD as the other reviewer - there is an instructional segment, but my video only has 5 combinations that Tracy uses in a 45-minute workout. There are no back-up dancers that I have seen.
So far, I love it. It is just not a tape that you can pop in and go for it. You have to learn the dance sequence by sequence before you can even attempt the full 45-minute workout.
 Big Disappointment September 29, 2008

I was really excited to recieve this video, but it really falls short. I danced my entire life and still found this to be hard to follow. The way the video is set up is there's an instructional section that runs through the eight combinations. She does this without ever doing any of the combos to music (which for me actually cements the routine). Once she runs through the combo (once slow, once up to speed facing forward and once up to speed facing backward) she moves on to the next one. She does this eight times in a row. By the third combo, I have NO idea what the first two were, let alone the five to come. From here, you go straight to the cardio dance, wherein she says NOTHING, except for 5-6-7-8 at the begining. She doesn't talk at all through the routine, including to tell you which combo you're actually on. This is a big disappointment.

I am so glad I ordered this DVD! However, there are some things you should know before ordering it, if you haven't already. This is a tough workout. It's unlike anything I've ever seen for doing at home. I danced for a few years when I was younger but I see this is going to be very challenging. That is what I find so exciting about it, though. I'll be lucky if I master the entire thing over the next 2 months. I'm taking it one or two combos a day over the next few weeks in order to learn everything, slowly doing them together until I get the whole thing.
I understand that some people will be overwhelmed if they are expecting something they can master in a few sessions. If that is what you want, this isn't for you. This is challenging and requires a lot of time and hard work. That is what makes it so worth the money, though. I don't expect to master this in less than 2 months time but when I do, I will be in the best shape of my life. If you are willing to work for it, it will be the best 30 dollars you've ever spent.
great workout! September 27, 2008

I love tracy's workouts! I come from a running background and there are days where I just dont want to do it. But with tracy, I feel like a teenager again, dancing in my bedroom (before I knew I was even working out!) My only gripe is that her first DVD was perfect in terms of teaching the dance styles. It gave you a breakdown of the dance, and she actually went over it a few times, then you got to dance it to the music, then it took you to the second combination. On this DVD she takes you through the first combination, then the second, etc... You dont get to dance them til the end and by then you've already forgotten the first 6 combinations. I wish she would have structered this DVD the same way. HOwever, once you learn the dances, you are going to love it!! Dont expect to do this workout on the first day (unless you have 4 hours to learn the whole thing.)one other thing I loved about this DVD is that she has an option to dance with her facing you OR facing her back(which makes it soooo much easier to do the dances!!) Brilliant!!!This workout is high impact, but you do not need a big space do dance in. Enjoy!!
