"A little cha cha, a little salsa, a little mambo," promises instructor Petra Kolber. If you love dance choreography and you love step workouts, this combination gives you both. Cha cha, Charleston, and pony your way up, down, and over the step for 20 minutes of cardio with attitude. Kolber cues superbly and progresses quickly from slightly complex to very complex, adding segments to a rapidly growing pattern. You need to be an experienced stepper for this workout--the instructor presumes that you know what "over the top," "corner to corner," and other typical step terminology mean. You also need to be a choreography enthusiast--Kolber packs a lot of multistep choreography into half an hour. She is accompanied by a woman and a man who help demonstrate. The artsy, constantly moving cameras and flashing graphics behind the instructor can be distracting when you're first learning the moves. --Joan Price

4.0 out of 5 stars F A S T & F U N !, July 26, 2000

This review is from: Reebok Versa: Dance Step [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is really fast and really fun. Although it gets my pulse going, I have to admit it isn't a very strong workout. It is very short and there are no sit-ups or push-ups at the end (I usually add them myself). The steps don't repeat as much as other videos which means you don't feel your muscles burn. The workout is more complex than the original Reebok step workout, but I picked it up after 4 or 5 times and it's much more interesting. I do this tape a lot and use it to motivate me on days I am looking for an excuse not to exercise; no time, it only takes 25 minutes, not enough energy, it's a really easy work-out. I like Petra's personality and the two people who work out behind her are nice to watch. The music is MUCH better than the original Reebok step video. I wouldn't recommend this tape as a first step tape, because the steps are more complicated and it doesn't show what an intense low-impact workout step can be, but I do think it's a great addition to the original Reebok step aerobic tape.

4.0 out of 5 stars At first I didn't like it..., July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Reebok Versa: Dance Step [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I had a hard time following her at first...and that accent was driving me nuts...and the background scene is annoying. But after doing it a couple of times its definately fun...but I wish it was LONGER. If you are more advanced its a good warm up. But if you like doing step you will probably like this. PERSONALLY I wish more videos on step were out there - I love doing step. Its a super fun workout.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too difficult to follow for average people, November 11, 2003

I have had this video for years and every time I attempt to master it I once again put it up in frustration. I have several different step and non-step aerobic tapes and this by far is the most frustrating and difficult to follow. Granted I'm not a "dancer," but I am athletic and the time and effort to learn the sequences in this tape are ridiculous. The arm and leg movements are not intuitive and by the time you think you have it, she's doing something else. Didn't intend to "flame" here, but I just saw too many positive reviews for this step-aerobic video.
