Movie Reviews of Dance Workout for Dummies
Movie Review: Fun, easy dance instruction in a workout pace
Summary: 5 Stars
I've loved Michelle Lemay's Jamaica Me S'wet dance workout from years ago, it really helped me to let go & feel the music. She is a great dancer with great body awareness, fluidity & love of dance. I didn't care for her Spirit Flow series which is an easy 30-60 min repetitive stretch workout, though sure help give body awareness to others. I am happy again with Michelle here. She's a great instructor, she really lets her enthusiasm shine through which keeps you from being bored & she has a great empowering personality. She's one of the best, if not the best at helping you feel the beat & your own rhythm flow & not be afraid.
Menu: Play, Into, Workout 1 (20 min), Workout 2 (20 min), Tutorial
Tutorial - 20 min - Michelle on set with no music teaching you the dance moves more slowly for those who need it. She gives a lot of details & moves even slower at first & only does full speed 1-2x.
Workouts:
Here she alone is on a simple stage with wood floors & simple wall behind. A simple beat plays for for each workout, a different beat for each workout. She does a 2-3 min warm-up & cool-down for each workout. The warm-up is as dancy as possible while still stretching. I have to admit, she knows how to stretch correctly & get the important muscles in the short time. She teaches 1 move, practice, teaches another, practice, practice both moves to develop a routine. Each move is taught from it's basic step touch basic core lower body to keep you moving & then adds the upper body, then the style to it's more complex finish. During the teaching, it's all done 1/2 speed so you can feel it first, but never slower to keep you moving. Michelle cues YOUR left/right, not hers. During the practice you do move full speed. With this style of teaching, I did not need the tutorial at all. The moves are old school, but still used in clubs, & there was only 2 moves in workout 2 that she did walking around in a circle & 2 hops then a nice shoulder & hip bumps that I thought it was too silly to do & wasn't happy. All the others I enjoyed.
I hope she makes move with more different dance moves. Some of these are also in her old Jamaica Me S'wet & would love to see more variety, she's a great teacher. This is great for beginner exercisers or those who need help letting go & feeling the beat.
