Donna's Old School Dance Party |
 Cardio + fun dancing |
| Donna does it again! Great music, a can-do attitude and enthusiastic cuing. The footwork is basic -- you'll learn it quickly -- then spend your time adding your own hip hop moves and flourishes. (The demo video makes the workout look more complicated than it is.) You can take a lot of these steps right to the dance floor. If you're on a carpeted floor, you'll have to modify some of the steps a bit. (Shar D - Age 56, work out to strength and cardio videos 4-5 days a week) - posted by Shar on 3/6/2009 |

| You will lose the BABY weight |
| After two babies 15 months apart I was a size 20! I am now down to a size 16 with one more size to go thanks to this DVD. It didn't take too long to get into the groove with these fun dance moves. The dance called the “Bird” really did me in, now I’m a pro at it, it works your arms and thighs, whew. Believe it or not I've drop the weight just by doing this video. The instructions Donna provides before and after each move is fun and upbeat, not irritating at all. I didn't know that the Sugar Hill Gang was performing live, which is fine, I just thought it would be different old school songs. All in all I highly recommend this video. Even if you put it down for a while you'll pick it right back up and enjoy every minute. My two and three year old children also enjoy doing the DVD with me. - posted by Mom of Two Toddlers on 1/4/2009 |

| Old School Dance party is the bomb!! |
| This workout is SO FUN! I am by no means a dancer, nor am I Ed "No Soul" Jones. But these moves are fun, learnable, yet challenging! This workout definitely is making my rotation! - posted by Deb on 12/4/2008 |

 Lots of Fun |
| This is a lot of fun. Great music--the real deal, not some lame cover. I learned a few moves for the club dance floor and worked up a sweat, too. Even my husband got into this one! - posted by Jenny on 3/28/2008 |

| Music is too loud and the moves are not interesting |
| I bought this tape because I really wanted to dance more than exercise. After seeing a clip of this DVD, I decided to order it. At first it was fun, THEN it just got annoying. The Sugar Hill band was annoying and they were too loud. I felt sore the next day so it is a good workout, but I couldn't do the whole workout because the band was too loud and annoying. Also, the moves weren't properly explained. - posted by Bettie on 1/13/2008 |

| so much fun, great music |
| This is just plain fun. I can't do all the steps, but when I get lost, I just hop around in a somewhat rhythmic fashion until I can follow again. No one is watching, so I can look like an idiot if I want to. I wish more tapes used real original music - it is so much more motivating and enjoyable for me. If you like to dance, try this one. It is the only aerobic workout I ever want to do. Otherwise, I'd rather go running and listen to some good music. - posted by Katy on 1/6/2008 |

| Terrific! |
| I could not disagree more with the previous review. Donna's cueing is fine, and she always shows each new move at a slow speed before going full speed. Besides, none of the moves are that complicated. I think the point of this kind of workout is just to have fun and move, and this really does the trick. It's a great DVD to pull out on days when you just want to feel energized. The music is terrific, especially if you remember the heyday of the Sugar Hill Gang! - posted by CB on 8/29/2007 |

| Aweful |
| The queing for each move by this instructor is aweful. Also, the music is too loud and she has to scream to tell you anything. They keep panning the camera to the Rap Group. They should be focusing on the moves not the singers. - posted by Ramona on 7/13/2007 |

| Hot moves, non-stop cardio |
| I bought this about 2 years ago and this is still a killer cardio workout. The live hip hop music by well-known and loved by many Sugar Hill Gang can't be beat and the moves are beautiful. The pace never slows down and she does go 1/2 speed on new moves and also breaks down and builds up to it's complex finish on harder moves. You're never standing there, moving slow and lowering your heartrate. - posted by TouchRemedy on 7/1/2007 |

| So much fun! |
| This workout just cracks me up - it's so much fun to work out with Sugar Hill Gang live doing lots of moves from "back in the day". I categorize this as one of the workouts I pop in when I really don't feel like working out. After about 5 minutes I'm having a ball and I feel re-energized. I haven't seen a lot of new workouts from Donna in the last few years (I have a bunch on VHS that aren't available anymore, and I treasure them). I hope she jumps back in and releases more workouts in the future with that special Donna flavor! - posted by Barbara on 6/21/2007 |
