Movie Review: The Exotic Dance workout
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a professional workout video. The instructor makes it fun. I truly recommend it.Movie Review: Really good intro/instructional video
Summary: 4 Stars
First of all, I actually bought two Madame M's, another instructional DVD called Strip To It, and one of the "Fawnia" striptease DVDs, all at one. I think the combination of all really worked to strengthen the impact of each one individually. If I'd had any ONE of these DVDs only, I wouldn't have gained enough movement vocabulary to put any kind of routine together. Okay, so that said, about this DVD in particular.
I'm 40 and have ballet, tap, jazz dance experience, but nothing in the way of social dancing, hip-hop, or exotic moves at all, and little confidence in this area. For me, this DVD as an instructional video was really tasteful, perfectly paced, unintimidating, and approachable. After instruction on certain moves, you do a short little combination to show you how you can link some of the moves together. I personally spent a lot of time rewinding and practicing each individual move over and over until it felt natural for my body, and then moved on to the next bit. I think that approach really helped me do the choreography part. Three sections - standing, floor and chair - I was particularly interested in the standing part, not so much the rest, so I personally wished the sections were longer. But in combination with the Strip to It DVD, it gave me great stuff to work with.
The demonstration routines at the end not entirely representative of the moves you learn throughout the DVD - they were faster, and included lots of new moves and combinations you don't see earlier. But you can't learn everything in one DVD. Besides, the demos are good for giving you ideas.
For the people who have or might criticize this DVD for it's music, or lack of work-out, or whatever - this is definitely not clubby, hip-hoppy, Christina Aguilara "do-me" type of stuff; and it's definitely not a dance-along work-out kind of thing. It's instructional. Learn it, practice it, find your own music, put your routine together, and pass the DVD onto someone else who wants to learn how to be a little more sensual with their bodies.
I'm pleased with the purchase and it's giving me exactly what I wanted.
Movie Review: Worth it for the ending Demo!
Summary: 4 Stars
This dvd is slow, slow, slow. The teacher gets a 5-star rating for being cute as a bug, compassionate, and adorable, but the snail's pace of it doesn't qualify it as a workout. Too repetitious. It's an instructional, for sure, but not a workout. And perfect for anyone starting out (really it IS perfect for beginners or shy people!) -- but it's just to slow for the average bear.
*The ending demo where she is silent and just dances to the beat of the slow song, is what makes buying the dvd actually worth while for me!*
It's a cute, cute routine I can do with no instruction at all from her because it's so slow and easy to catch on! Lady M., if you had an entire dvd of slow demo routines like the great one you did at the end of this dvd, I'd love to buy it! I just love how I can watch you and follow you and catch on to your demo with no previous instruction! Your moves and style are self-explanitory, because you're all about sensualism, not about break-neck, fast technique! Which I must say i just love about you, and is surprisingly, difficult to find in a dvd. Doing it 'slow' takes patience, you are a joy.
More routines from you like your demo, requested!
Movie Review: Great sexy moves, but not for everyone
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this dance dvd work out, she is great and I love her moves. Very sexy and feminine. I have learned some moves from her and really feel sexy doing it (does not have the whole lot of different moves though). At first, I didn't think it "work out" but it works, I actually felt sore in some areas after practicing it.
Although, I don't think it would help much if you want to drop 10, 15 or 20 pounds with it, if that is what you are looking for. It's just a workout to keep your body sexy and tight, but it's not a "real work out" to help you lose weighs, so make sure you don't put a lot of hope in it :)
Anyway, I love it as I don't even weigh over 100 lbs, I just want to feel sexy and need some fun working out, so I'm happy with it. Will buy another one after this.
