4.0 out of 5 stars Quick view of basic dance steps., February 21, 2004

This review is from: Christy Lane's Jazz Dance Level 1 Beginning Video [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Christy Lane's Jazz Dance Level 1 Video gives a quick over view of the basic beginning jazz dance steps. The video teaches isolations, simple turns, jazz walks/steps, a few kicks, and two simple jumps. The video also encorporates two simple combinations at the end for beginners. The video is a good refresher for students of dance who have not danced for awhile. While the video shows great technique, many of the dance steps are only shown on one side of the body, and the steps are gone through rather quickly at times. Unfortunately, Christy gives the learner only one or two slow chances at the step, and then quickly moves the step up to tempo.
I believe the video shows great technique and proper body positioning. However, the pause and rewind buttons on your VCR will be used a lot in order to practice the steps.
