2.0 out of 5 stars Bit of a Ripoff, January 28, 2009

This review is from: Dirty Dancing Official Dance Workout (DVD)

First I will say this video is fun in it's way. I like the routines and the upbeat feel of the video but I was disappointed with the length and number of songs chosen. I was under the impression I was going to get at the very least a good 30 minute workout but this video doesn't deliver. It says on the package:

"Love Man" 12 mins
"Yes" 13 mins
"Johnny's Mambo" 14 mins
"Do you love me" 12 mins
and
"Saturday Night Dance Challenge" 11 mins.

THIS IS A COMPLETE LIE!!!

I have tried running all the routines and this is only about 13 mins. Also if you try running each routine separately they are only about 2-4 mins long each. I have to do all the routines twice to get a good workout. It's really not very fun to go through it twice. :(

My other gripe with this video is that no matter if you are using a DVD player or your computer there is no way to skip all of the "warnings" and the stupid little intro telling you do do the syllabus first. One time is fine.

I wouldn't wast my money on this. You are better off getting one of the Yoga Booty Ballet videos or even Ti bo

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun Dance Video-Excellent Instruction, January 7, 2009

This review is from: Dirty Dancing Official Dance Workout (DVD)

I own many dance DVD's and this one will definitely be one of my favorites. The instruction is excellent, and the fun factor is makes it very appealing! This one's a keeper!Tracey Mallet is an experienced cuer and makes it all come together. Also there is a male instructor who is very easy to follow and is a great cuer. This is organized very well, and sectioned out in chapters. I would definitely recommend this to beginner or intermediate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun!, September 13, 2009

By 

AZMish (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dirty Dancing Official Dance Workout (DVD)

I love this DVD. I've tried "exercise" dance DVDs before, and the instruction parts moved so slowly that I didn't get any sort of workout at all. Not the case here. The instruction keeps you constantly moving, giving you a good workout, but is done in a way that makes it rather easy to learn. There are a few steps that are tricky, but most steps are easy to master. A previous reviewer commented that the time listed for each routine was misleading - the time is for the instruction; not the actual dance. The instruction for each routine is 11-14 minutes, while the completed routines are 3-4 minutes each. I love dancing, and this is so fun that I completely forget I'm exercising. I would not recommend this for those of you working with really small workout spaces.
