Certified instructor description: A unique workout with a great soundtrack ... but absolutely no verbal cuing. Instead, you'll learn the moves in the 46-minute tutorial. Then you'll just follow Tracy as she blasts through a fast-paced series of traditional, jazz and hip hop combos. Probably not for dance newbies, but it <em>is</em> doable. Tracy's classical dance training is obvious. Her movements are precisely choreographed and very crisp — there's never any doubt where her feet are going (also, the DVD shows two versions of the workout: one filmed from the front, one filmed from the back). So what's the benefit of no cuing? You have total freedom to move with the music. Sure, follow Tracy if you like. Or just catch the rhythm and groove to your own personal dance routine. ©2008.
