I took dance for more than 10 years in my youth, so I looked forward to using this tape. Unfortunately, the tape is choreographed as if everybody has a 10 x 20 room at home to dance in. It's very hard to practice a jazz walk with isolations if you can only get two steps in. Also, I thought the instructor really rushed teaching the combinations at the end. She went from one step at a time directly to a 30-bar combination! Too much for me... I don't like constant rewinding.

I really do not recommend it to anyone. I have a strong dancing background. I've danced as a hobby, classical and modern ballet, jazz dance, tap dance, ballroom dances for over 15 years. It was hard even for me to follow. Oh I do not mean the first parts where the instructor gives you some basic jazz dance moves. They are easy to follow and do (that is if you have the room to do them). However, in the end, it becomes total chaos, so hard to follow. Maybe if I've been patient enough to rewind a lot of times, I would have learned it but then what's the use of so much rewinding if you are doing it to have fun and stay fit. The too much rewinding takes away my motivation. So now the tape sits at the back of my bookcase, gathering dust. I am so disappointed. A total waste of money.
