I tried this video because I love Bhangra. The audio is off, the dancers arent on beat, the moves are not very desi. If you want a good Bhangra Instructional/Workout Video try "Bhangra Workout-1" with Sat Pavan Kaur. Its really good.

I was hoping for an excellent, in-depth bhangra workout. Bhangra is my favorite form of dance. After reading the reviews, I bought this DVD because I thought it would have advanced bhangra steps, however, this DVD has really basic bhangra steps.

I would not recommend this DVD for the following reasons:

1. The music they play is not good bhangra music
2. The actual bhangra dancing is only 12-13 minutes!
3. The moves are quite basic. I was hoping for some really high-energy moves
4. Some of the dancers in the back are off beat and they look tired. They do not smile, they look like they are struggling.

I was hoping Veera and the others would have worn traditional Punjabi attire. I would not recommend this DVD for the beginner bhangra dancer because they do not go over the steps ahead of time to get you ready and I would not recommend this for someone who is already familiar with bhangra because you will already know the steps. Either way, the dancing segment is really short and the music is not good.

While I have many Indian friends and watched many performances, I still was way out of the loop on this video. There is no instruction on how to do any of the steps. The "instructor" just goes for it. There are even shots of just her head so you have no idea what her body is doing and no way to know what you are supposed to be doing. And it's quite a short workout session.

This production is like a bad High School PE class got ahold of a video camera and decided to 'make it big'. Absolutely no instruction, audio is unintelligible, and the dancers are not good enough for a workout video. In addition, the company Caiman.com will not let me return the video because it's been opened. BLAH!

It is a great intermediate level workout video. It is not a bhangra dance instructional video. It has good aerobic segment with basic bhangra steps, a good floor workout and finish. You feel good and relaxed by the end. It has everything a workout needs with fun of Punjabi music and bhangra. It teaches enough steps to enjoy doing bhangra at a party. Geta great workout with Bhangra Aerobics.

I was quite disappointed with this video. It appeared to be a rather 'amateur' production with poor cues and instructions. The instructor appears to have difficulty talking since she's out of breath. I guess, I was expecting a higher standard like the belly dancing videos that are available. I enjoy bhangra music and have some concept of dancing to it so I found the moves boring and not quite to my expectations. I would skip this one even though I think the concept is great if someone could come up with a better production.

It is a great workout at intermediate level. I enjoyed the music and the bhangra steps. Good floor workout. Editing could be a little better but overall a good DVD to have. I use it everyday and get a good workout every time.

When I bought this dvd I was hoping for a very unique aerobics video, however, I was very disappointed. This is just like all aerobics videos, except it is not cued as well, the only difference is the music. The exercises therein are very hard on the joints (knees especially). It was also very hard to keep up with the pace of the instructor. It should say "Advanced" in the advertisement. Personally, after I bought this dvd and watched it once, I resold the item right away.
