DVD CONTENTS includ 93 minutes of video, 3 distinct and separate full routines: "PURE FUN" - a long workout version with high intensity; "DANCE PARTY", a remix of moves learned in PURE FUN, so girls can just get down and dance; "FULL BLAST" is the advanced routine with fresh, funky new moves.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too hard to follow -- even WITH dance training, January 4, 2007

This review is from: Sabrina Bryan: Byou - The Hot New Dance Workout (DVD)

I bought this DVD so my daughter and I could dance along together and get some exercise -- however it is far too difficult for a young person to follow, and get this -- even with my many years of dance training, it was too difficult for ME to follow! The moves are NEVER broken down by count, and the instruction is incredibly poor. Virtually every dance class I've ever taken - including Master classes - broke down moves by count, so you can be on time, "on" the music. Not so here. It felt muddled and confusing. Additionally, in the "instruction" segment, the moves are shown just once, from one angle, so if you aren't already familiar with the move shown, the guidance is inadequate.

It gets the two stars only for its appeal to teens & tweens, an underserved group when it comes to mixing exercise and fun. I'd like to see more dance/exercise videos for this age group, but PRODUCED BETTER.

5.0 out of 5 stars Energizing and Fun!, April 5, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sabrina Bryan: Byou - The Hot New Dance Workout (DVD)

I totally love Byou! The music has a really energizing beat, and the dance moves are fun! It may take a little time to learn the moves, but if you keep practicing, you'll get them down, and it feels great when you can do the entire thing! I do think that the DVD should be used by girls who are around 11-13 (my age), because they are difficult at first. But all in all, Byou is a great workout with, as they say, "slamming dance moves and the hottest new music"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Byou is great for everyone!, March 18, 2006

This review is from: Sabrina Bryan: Byou - The Hot New Dance Workout (DVD)

I actually bought this for my niece who is 12. She loves it! It might be a little hard for some of the younger kids, but I don't think it was made for them. This seems to me to be more of a "tween" kind of product. Sabrina tells people in the beginning that they won't get the steps on the first try and to keep practicing. I know for me, I hate doing videos that are so easy you get everything on the first try and then you're bored after watching it a few times. There are three different workouts on the dvd so you can keep progressing as you get more skilled. Talk about value for the money. My niece will be able to use this dvd for years. My sister loves doing the Byou workout with her daughter and she says it's great that they get to spend quality time together and are getting healthy as well. Plus the lyrics are clean and the clothes Sabrina and the other girls wear are age-appropriate, no bare midriffs here. I think I'm going to buy one for myself. Good job Sabrina!
