Product Description:
A totally dance-oriented fat-burner with four different dance styles. You'll be energized by the three instructors from the TV show — Ashley, Kym and Maksim. Their enthusiasm and interpersonal rapport make every step seem completely do-able (but there's not much "cuing;" you mostly just follow along). The four techniques are taught in separate segments. First: three sexy, hip shakin' Latin dances — Paso Doble, Cha Cha and Samba. Then it's Jive — the classic all-American dance (including the Lindy and Swing). You'll finish with a fast-paced freestyle segment that combines the moves you've just learned with a medley of upbeat improv variations. Excellent production with dynamic, truly foot-movin' music. DVD includes a short segment on healthy eating. ©2007.
