 No dancing involved...May 31, 2005
By dance workout fan
This DVD has two workouts: one is mat based (50 min), the other is done standing (33 minutes). Her moves do not involve much dancing at all and I was very disappointed. She tells you to breathe at least a thousand times, which I found irritating. The production quality is very low: the set is as basic as possible and you do see the camera equipment in several shots. I won't be doing it again!

 Not dance, but good for stretchingJan 10, 2006
By Afua
"SmilieFace"
I was a jazz dancer a number of years ago and thought this would help me start up again. It is an excellent video for stretching and flexibility, but if you're looking for actual jazz dances, keep looking.

 WonderfulJun 24, 2004
The workout is serene, the instructor easy to understand, the set relaxing.....the flowing stretch lengthens your whole body. You feel the music, close your eyes & actually believe that you are really getting it -even if you aren't! I like that the music is there but not overpowering. The time spent leaves you feeling tall, graceful & feminine - I don't know what a guy would think about the workout - or anyone who is more advanced than I - but for me it's the best! I strongly recommend it for a beginner looking for more than yoga or toning and who also wants to feel a good sense of well being.

Wonderful Light Cardio and Stretch RoutineApr 15, 2007
By DJ
This really isn't a dance workout, but I knew that when I got it so I wasn't disappointed. There are two workouts: The first workout (Jazz Workout) is sort of cardio lite; it is all done standing up, there are wonderful side stretches, some nice dancing leaps from side to side, and some other steps that were silly but fun. I doubt I'd do this 30-minute workout often, but it's nice. However, the second workout (Stretch) is the reason I bought this DVD, and it is fun, fun, fun! It is all done on the mat, perfect if you're feeling a little lazy, and it flows seamlessly from side and leg stretches to abdominals and chest work -- and the best part is you don't realize you're "really exercising" until you're doing it! Stephanie takes us from our side stretch to our backs with our knees bent and hands cradling the backs of our head, then we're lifting our chests off the ground, and then I'm saying "wait a minute, this is a crunch!" She does the same sneaky thing with push-ups - and she makes it all so graceful and enjoyable. If you like flowing workouts (i.e. Kari Anderson's Angles Lines & Curves without the constant pressure to "test yourself"), you will love this 45-minute workout!

A Dancer's Workout for Total Body ShapingAug 05, 2006
By Rebecca Johnson
"The Rebecca Review"
Stephanie Herman blends her energetic jazz dancing with total body shaping in this fascinating dancer's workout. She has been teaching since 1988 and helps her students reach new levels of flexibility, relaxation and balance.
Alignment & Jazz Workout - Cardiovascular Jazz Workout
Through a variety of flowing stretches she leads you through unique choreography that plays teasingly with balance and asks you to tune into your intuitive sense. Once you tune into your body and enter this beautiful flow state, happiness rises in you and you feel emotionally fulfilled, energized and graceful. Stephanie will at times simply point the direction you will be moving and if you keep your complete focus on her every move, suddenly you are dancing, moving across the floor with form and function.
The purposeful flowing poses are very satisfying and if you have always wanted to feel like a ballerina effortlessly gliding across a stage, this is a beautiful experience that can at times leave you lost in motion. As your body learns the new exercises, you can let go and allow your creativity to flow through the movements.
Body Flow Stretch - Toning and Stretching
The second section of stretches made me feel like a mermaid exercising below the sea in a coral reef. Stephanie Herman begins with side stretches (similar to the Pilates exercise: Mermaid) and then moves into a relaxing seated warm up for the hips. Ab circles loosen and tone, increasing flexibility all while soothing the emotions. The feeling is of a flowing pool of water swirling around your body. The mat work encourages elongation and alignment.
An artistic side series becomes art in motion and as you complete this DVD you may start to feel toned all over and refreshed emotionally. This workout is one of the rewards of keeping with your Pilates and Yoga exercises. The dance section invigorates and the stretching tones and relaxes. This is a complete workout with everything I love about exercising all in one DVD!
