I was disappointed in this video. The "girls" in the video are all excellent dancers, and their moves are very interesting to watch, but the instructional part is very poor. They barely show you the steps, and when they do, it's very fast and hard to follow. Some of the steps are not demonstrated at all, and it's just assumed that you know how to do them. This is definately not a beginner video, and even if you are a good dancer, you need to have a good handle on hip-hop moves in order to follow along. You do get a good cardiovascular workout though, once/if you finally get the hang of it. I had to do a lot of rewinding, and watching the steps over and over, just to figure out what they were doing.

I have a few of the other Esquire-Dance Away videos and I really enjoy working out to them. The dance steps are simple and follow an aerobic workout style, the instructions are easy, and they are fun to do. This video is nothing like those others. It's very hard to follow. The dance steps are ridiculously hard and only for devoted dance students. Sure it gets your heart pumping, but not if you can't follow anything they are doing. You just stand there looking dumb founded watching the girls on TV dance. Don't waste your money unless you are an expert dancer and already know how to do the moves they claim to teach you.
