Summary: Just okay
Comment: For what its priced at, its an OK buy. But really, I have a decent collection of workout DVDs and this one is way below on my list. Really low. I agree that its meant for a light workout. I think the title is misleading, FAT BURNING? You need a little more action for fat burning.
I think dance moves are not too difficult if you are not big into dancing. You'll get it after trying 3-4 times. But it does not have the retention factor, very generic and its pretty dull and doesn't take you to 3-4 times, because it gets boring.
Please realize that this is my first workout dvd on any type of dance. Maybe, because it takes 2-3 tries to get the moves, I find this a little boring. I think I prefer more of the kickboxing and sculpting videos that I have on me. A dance video would have to be really entertaining and very effective for me to fit into my regime.

Comment: This video was horrible! It's suppose to be an upbeat workout instead it's a boring workout to elevator music. She also has an annoying weird tone throughout the video that will give anyone nightmares including her odd facial experessions.

Summary: Only for Beginners!!!!
Comment: If you are a person that you never ever went to a gym, or you never followed a aerobic class then this work out is for you. What is this? They walk from one side to the other shaking their hips (not to say anything else) and they call it not just a workout ...BUT A FAT BURNER.... well I'm not 120 kgs I have 7 to 10 kgs to burn MAXIMUM, and I choose this dvd cause i thought i can work from home, and not waste time to the gym, but.... is soooo boring.... Maybe ladies over 50 will find it interesting (and in our days 50years old look better than the 30s), but sorry girls ..... what to say? if you really want to sweat, choose something else. I bought Cindy Crawfords work out, is not a dancing workout, but you really feel your muscles, and you really sweating.... is hard but you see the difference... or maybe jane fonda 80's aerobics are more fan.....
People like this instructor, have to realize, that the reason we get the dvd to work from home is not because we are over 60years old, with 150kgs weight, and we know a bit of exercise..... IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO SAVE TIME!!!
VERY DISAPPOINTED

Summary: Ariba!
Comment: Bubbly as ever, Denise Austin presents a low intensity workout in three dance segments: Jazz, Latin and Club/Pop. The Jazz segments definitely is the most imaginative of the three, the moves and choreography seemingly more thought out. This first segment is also the most fun of the three. The Latin segment seems like she was struggling to come up with enough basic moves to fill the time allotted. I must say, though, it's amusing to see Austin quietly tossing out 'ariba's here and there. The Club segment is the weakest of the three and is quite repetitive. Each segment can be done independently of the others or they can be done sequentially.
If you are looking for a basic workout to keep you moving and occupied for 30 minutes this one is great. If you want a hardcore aerobic workout this will not be for you. As well, if you prefer your emphasis to be on dance rather than funked up aerobics, this DVD will disappoint. Of the ensemble assisting her through each segment it is clear who the two most natural or trained dancers are, and Austin is not one of them. This is evident in her lack of clear instruction of dance moves, rather than just keeping you moving, and on her need to pop, bounce and be all around bubbly throughout. That said, Austin has tendency to command the routine as she is doing it and not a few steps ahead, as other trainers do. If that type of instruction annoys you will be very frustrated with her style.
All in all it's a fun DVD that will keep you moving. Just don't expect any more from it than that.

Summary: Dancer Laura
Comment: I love this DVD; as usual Denise is an energetic teacher constantly cuing you on when and how to move. Make sure to view the entire program before practicing since there are numerous dance routines. I highly recommend this DVD.
