 Fun and Easy to Use!Sep 24, 2006
By K. Mccormack
"Wannabe Cook"
I am a beginning dancer and just can't get enought quality DVDs to work on outside of class. This is fun and I was able to pick up the routine pretty quickly. I like the warm up, it is challenging but not so hard you get frustrated. I like the dance routine she teaches. There is one routine and then she starts with the partnering. I would recommend this DVD but I only do the first half hour. This has helped me to gain confidence because I have to repeat things many times before I get it. The Broadway Dance Center DVDs are challenging and fun.

 Challenging?Jan 23, 2007
By YogaGirl
So, in all fairness I just did the warm-up. I downloaded from Broadway dance. I was disappointed. After the intro, the breakdown of the warm-up, the warm-up itself is just 5 minutes. What kind of warm-up is that. Maybe when I do the routine, I'll change the rating.
