This is a fun, motivating workout. It's not overly challenging, but it will get your heart rate up and you'll even sweat a little. Sure, I've done harder workouts than this, but this is at least fun. The instructor is motivating without being too fake or cheesy. She's cool and instructs well. She breaks down the moves slowly and then soon you go up to tempo. I thought it was really unique to see the other dancers all in street clothes. One is in jeans (something you just couldn't do because of lack of movement in them), but other than this, it's a funky great routine that you can do many many times without getting sick of it. You can even learn some moves that could be done in a club.

I agree with all the other reviewers who said it was fun & the instructor was motivating & not annoying.
The whole thing is set on a stage with 7 backup girls in various shapes, etc. The only menu options is to play or chapter selections & it is in 2 speaker stereo. It's 38 min long with a min or two warm up & cool down consisting of mostly all dance moves w.
The moves were all easy, but not boring, all from the "island jam" style or "latin" like salsa & cha-chas & "diva" which is more club style.
They almost never stop moving between learning & doing dances except for a split second while you march to ask you if you're ready for more.
All moves are broken down to the simplist analogy such as small squats, then adding the legs, then the arms to it's final look.
This is low-impact, beginner workout in my opinion, fun, might work up a sweat, but you don't need a lot of room or expect any jumps & should not be exausting.
In the past, I didn't like some of Crunches's DVDs because they seemed hurried or stiff, but this one was more relaxed/fun, which I am happy to say.

I've been looking for a good workout video for awhile. My problem, I get bored. I've tried yoga and pilates and just couldn't stick with it. I've tried other dance type videos and just could not stand the instructor. This is a good video since it doesn't try to give you too much choreography so that you can put a little of yourself into the dance and have some fun. The instructor is not annoying and doesn't talk too much. Overall, a good video for people who needed to be entertained even when they are working out.
