Movie Reviews of Tina Landon: Behind the Moves, Session 1

Movie Review: Great DVD that Requires Persistence and Coordination
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a real mountain to climb learning your moves from DVDs such as this one-a good kind of mountain that feels extremely rewarding as you accomplish it. (Nothing worthwhile to learn is easy, right?) My approach to each routine is to pause the DVD with each count to see where the dancers' arms and legs are. On other passes through the routines I also slowly move from count to count using the magic of the DVD controls to go a few frames at a time. I use this technique to follow the transitions of the arms and legs of the dancers to each "pose" to be achieved at each count.

I go over the routines over and over again. And practice and practice and practice them. I am very pleased with the choreography that I've learned from Tina's DVD and actually have gotten a lot of compliments for them when using them in dance clubs. I feel that at a bargain price I have been gaining an extremely valuable education in agile dance grooves from a great choreographer. (I feel the same way about Darrin Henson's best-selling DVD, too.) Especially considering that I spend hundreds of dollars a month in dance training for ballroom, latin, and swing.

There is no substitute for years of training in dance. (Tina even says that in the video.) For what you pay for Tina's DVD you get a lot of information, and if you have the desire to put the time in and possess enough body coordination you will learn Tina's routines. If you go in with that mindset you will have the proper expectations for this dance video. After all, there is no magic pill to make you a better dancer--it takes work whether from you learn from a DVD or from a private instructor.

What you get from this DVD is a little slice of knowledge from a master choreographer that you probably could not spend any real time with. This DVD is a most welcome addition to my dance instruction DVD and book collection.
