Movie Reviews of Dance with Lisa: 5 Day Latin Dance System

Movie Review: Better dance video for body memory than for fitness
Summary: 4 Stars

This salsa/exercise video was very difficult. Not exactly in terms of intensity (although it is very fast-paced) but there wasn't proper instruction. I spent more time trying to learn the steps than actually exercising. I have taken salsa for about 2 years, and I would call myself a high beginner. I am a little rusty, but usually I can pick up steps pretty quickly with proper instruction.
These were the problems that I had with the video.
1. The explanation of steps video's were very hard to follow. She didn't really explain steps, or what leg to use. I had to watch cha-cha about 5 times before I could somewhat do the steps. It would have helped tremendously if she had counted out the steps for this segment, and explained which foot to use and which way to turn. After going ahead and doing the cha-cha segment, I will still need to go back and watch the explanation to steps. The arm movements were difficult as well because she didn't even mention what to do with them.

2. The warm up was a mess! It was really faced paced, so much so that it was hard to even pick up any of the more complicated movements. At one point I just started to modify what she was doing in order to continue on. I will probably have to "practice" the warm up many times before I can understand it and do it properly. Again there was no communication, just music that she may or may not be dancing to herself.

3. What I did not understand about the dance segment itself was that it is clear that she is giving directions and cues, but the music was playing over her. Please let me know if anyone has found a way to hear her voice??? Even though I had somewhat figured out the steps by the time I put on the Cha-Cha segment, her cues were almost impossible to read. Again I had to replay the video a few times, and still had trouble. The energy level was not difficult.

4. Finally I would suggest not to go barefoot or with sneakers when dancing to this video, it is very hard to swivel, turn and slide. I would suggest ballet slippers or jazz shoes.

For all my complaints, I still enjoyed this video once I got the hang of it, and will enjoy it more once I can completely do all the movements at the right time. I would say that exercise should be a secondary motive for purchasing this dvd, and that building up body memory should be the primary reason.
