Really fun, time-efficient dance workout!
By Beth Cholette
Although I genuinely take delight in dance workouts, I was a little wary of this one, as I had heard that instructor MaDonna Grimes didn’t cue very well and that there was a lot of “take-it-from-the-top” movements, which I dislike. So, I was enjoyably astonished to find that I LOVED this video! The workout basically breaks down into 3 segments: warm-up, dance routine, and cool-down (these are not chaptered on the DVD). The 10-minute warm-up gets right into a lot of basic dance steps such as the merengue, getting your heart rate up right away. MaDonna once in a while fails to entirely explain the movements, but my minimal experience with just a few prior dance videos permitted me to follow along with no problems. There are a few little jumps included in this segment, but they don’t appear until in regards to 5 minutes into it, when you’re already well warmed up; a lot of basic stretchings conclude this section.

During the 12-minute dance routine section, MaDonna introduces new moves one at a time, gradually building up to a finish dance routine. When instructing the moves, she did something I’d never seen before that I in truth liked: rather of instructing one segment with 3 dissimilar moves, a second segment with 3 dissimilar moves, and then stringing the two segments together (I always find it difficult to do not forget the basi segment), she’ll instruct 3 moves and then introduce 2 new ones, but she combines the last move from the firstborn 3 with the 2 new ones (I hope this makes sense!). This method makes it very easy to do not forget the order of the moves, as you’re perpetually combining the older moves that you’ve already learned with the new moves. Even more importantly, the moves are FUN–mambos, hops, hip swings, etc.–and the time just flew by!

The workout ends with a brief (4-minute) cool-down. I liked the neck stretchings that were included here, even though galore humans might have to be careful with these. The DVD also includes a 10-minute bonus workout for the lower body: MaDonna leads you through 4 dissimilar types of squats, performing various sets of each, and she ends with galore brief standing and floor abs work. An further and added DVD feature is a music-only workout option. Some humans might complain that this workout is too short (about 26 minutes overall), but MaDonna packs a lot of both exertion and fun into that time period, making this video perfective for any person who wants to get in a heap of quick, intense, yet exceedingly enjoybable cardio work. Highly recommended!

African Beat, Latin Heat, Dancing Feet!
By Raina Singh
The original time I tried this workout, I loved it so much that I without any delay had to do it again. On the cover of the DVD it says, ‘leaves you sweating for more’, and with regards to my experience with it so far, that is precisely what it did. It left me sweating, and wanting more!

Here’s what you get:

10MIN WARMUP – This combines a few low affect dance moves with a few stretches. Some of the stretchings are a bit ‘hmmm…’, but you only do them after you’re VERY warm. This is around 10 minutes, which is a good length for a warmup. Some of the moves you learn in the warmup will be re-used in the dance percentage of the workout.

15MIN DANCE – Madonna teaches you the moves one by one, building together a longer routine. One thing that I love in regards to her instructing is that once she’s taught you a move, she exercises what I like to call ‘the transition’. This is where you exercise the move that comes just before the new move, as well as the new move. If that doesn’t make sense, say that she’s taught moves 1-3 and is instructing you the 4th move. Once she’s taught the 4th move, she exercises moves 3 and 4, before going through the whole procedure from the 1st move. This Latin combining includes hip swings, mambos, cha-chas, and a very tricky samba-travel step.

5MIN COOL DOWN – Here, Madonna takes you through galore of the stretchings that you did in the warmup, as well as galore neck stretchings – some humans will need to be careful with these.

10MIN BONUS – This is not a african-latin dance segment, but rather a set of intense toning moves. She teaches 4 dissimilar types of squats, as well as a great deal of ab work.

Madonna and her group of exercisers – both male and female – exercise in a nice street-dance-studio-esque set. If that doesn’t set the scene, the floors are polished wood, and the walls are dark red brick, with pillars, potplants, and windows scattered throughout. The windows in the room don’t overlook anything, but seem to have a screen of turqoise light outside it; emulating a blue sky. It kind of reminds of the old Ricki Lake sets (back in the day!).

In terms of instructor personality, Madonna is a breath of fresh air. She is relaxed, laid back, and interacts with the other exercisers in a ‘hey-wassup-mate’ manner. In addition, they likewise interact with her the same way – giving a fun atmosphere; like being in a class, but not an uttermost ‘whoop-it-up’ atmosphere like in Kathy Smith’s Timesaver Cardio.

For those of you who are sheer beginners to dance, you will find this difficult. What I suggest you do is ignore the arm movements for the primary couple of times that you undertake the DVD, and focus on the getting your legs right. Also, ignore the samba-travel step and just shuffle here; thats a very difficult step, and it’ll only take practice-practice-and-more-practice to get it right. Madonna moves through the moves finelooking quickly, only giving a couple of prospects to learn the steps before incorporating them into the routine. She is good at cueing, but not so good at instructing the moves.

A word of warning, the second move that she teaches in the dance portion (which likewise appears in the warmup) involves you swinging your arms and your head. Take it easy on this move, since I actually got into it, and it was inevitable that I heard a huge CRACK from my neck, oops! It looks like Madonna and one of the other girls are going hard out with this move, but thats because their hair is long, so for your safety, don’t undertake to emulate them.

A refreshing, intense, short workout that is LOADS of fun! Cheers!

Too Much Fun to Be Called A Workout
By NewYorkLady
I love this workout! Since moving out of the city, I have been unable to find a gym that offers a good potpourri of group aerobic classes, so even though I use a gym for weight training – I had to find another way to get my cardio in. I did a lot of searching in stores and online and came upon this DVD. I was nervous to order it, but I am glad I did. It is basically just dance moves. For the record, I trained in dance for over 20 years including studying African and Caribbean Dance. The moves in this procedure in truth aren’t as complex as those found in the African and Latin Dance forms – which is good – African Dance is difficult! The moves are simple but fun. VERY FUN! And simple sufficient that you may pace yourself – making it as easy or as demanding as you wish – WHICH IS THE MARK OF A GOOD AEROBIC ROUTINE AND INSTRUCTOR!

I also love MaDonna Grimes’ personality – she is so easy going and cool – I much prefer her to the typical tan and blonde buffy video instructor!

Although I rated it 5 stars – I don’t like the music, it lacked oomph for me, but I never like the music in classes or DVD’s so don’t listen to me!

If you are looking for a fun way to workout – check this out – it will get the heart pumping and burn the fat – and procedure is so much fun that time flies when you follow this!
