 Dancing with the Starts Cardio DanceOct 02, 2008
If the buyer is an intermediate ballroom dancer, this CD may be appropriate.
There is very limited instruction - few details. It is expected that we learn by watching fast moving instruction, right into quick moves. There is no instruction for foot positions and because the dancers are wearing work out clothing covering their entire leg it's difficult to determine degree of knee bend.
It's entertaining and I loved watching Maks' moves through the entire CD.
If it's instruction one may be looking for, this is not the CD to purchase.
 Stick with it...Sep 30, 2008
Yes, at first the DVD is tricky to follow. Maxim starts out pretty basic and easy to follow with the Paso Doble. Next is Ashley and she introduces a little more difficulty with the Cha-Cha, and so on. But, I found that if I just did what I could I eventually started learning the routines through repetition. You will still break out in a sweat even if you're just trying to learn the moves (you don't have to have perfect execution to lose weight). If you're getting frustrated, then you're taking this way too seriously. Loosen up, try your best, and have fun; the accuracy will eventually occur - and when it does you really feel like you've accomplished something big. I am a complete two-left footed klutz and can get through the dances pretty well. This is one of the few workout routines I enjoy.
I feel like I'm part of the show. It's well worth the money. It's so much funSep 14, 2008
If you really love to dance and have a natural sense of rhthym this dvd is great for you. I wouldn't recommend this to someone who isn't comfortable dancing in a crowd because ballroom dancing is a bit dramatic and takes some coordination.
It's so much fun that I look forward to doing this video everyday. It literally helps me to get out of bed. I love that I'm exercising and learning these dance steps. I've lost 6 lbs and feel youthful and energetic after two weeks of dancing everyday. The Jive is a real burner and a bit hard to pick up all the moves because it's so fast paced. The other dances are much easier to get. I'm so thrilled to own this dvd. It is so worth the $9.99. One dance class would cost that. I can do this dvd over and over and learn something new every time. I still haven't gotten a few of the harder dance steps. That's okay because it gives me something to look forward to.
I gave four stars instead of 5 because, although I love Maksim and Kim, I find Ashley's voice extremely annoying and high pitched. I don't know why the producers picked her for this dvd. She also says "back" when she's going forward and vice versa. I feel like she just wants to hear herself talk and sounds really stupid. I've learned to ignore her voice. Also, the camera doesn't always show feet or legs and I hate that. The improv section is also really disorganized and hard to follow. That being said, I love this video. It makes me happy. I highly recommend it.
 Great workout!!!Sep 07, 2008
This was by far the BEST cardio dance workout I have ever done!!! It was energizing and I broke quite a sweat!!! Beware beginners though...it is fast paced and it could be difficult for you to keep up with the steps. I LOVE IT!!!!

Great for an experienced dancerAug 30, 2008
Most of the people who wrote that this video does not provide very much instruction and its not for the beginner are correct. For me, that was a good thing. I have studied modern, jazz, and middle eastern(belly dance). I think that anyone who has had SOME kind of dance training will be able to follow along, given some practice and patience.
If you are considering taking up ballroom dancing, then this video is a good primer because it will keep you light on your feet and you will see really good form, especially by Maks. Ashly is a doll, and her speed and agility are amazing. I think that if you are a beginner ballroom dancer and you are dedicated to learning, then this video will quickly get you to intermeadate level because it trains you for speed and pacing.
The music is pretty generic however, thats why Im only giving it four stars.
Once again Cheers for Ashly! she's great!
