Horribly MisleadingJun 15, 2007
By Dangerous_Jade
As others have said, this is NOT an instructional video at all. And since the front of the box specifically says "Instructional DVD" the producers of this video outright lied, which makes me mad when I spent money on this piece of crap.
It pretty much consists of the two dancers performing the dance then telling you how it makes them feel. Like others have said it's interesting to watch them perform the dances, but the product is highly misleading. I'll be attempting to return this one to the store tomorrow...

Definitely not an instructional video...Jun 13, 2006
By Amy
I completely agree w/ the other reviewer. Buy this video if you want to just watch 2 experts dance. One cannot learn how to dance any of the dances indicated on the dvd cover. My fiance and I have been taking rumba, waltz & tango classes and wanted to spice up our steps a bit. Even for folks like us who know the basic step, this video was nooooo help at all and extremely fast paced :(

unmet expectationsMay 04, 2008
By Davina Hunter
"dancing bookworm"
I agree with the comments from other reviewers here. I occasionally review this dvd to remind myself why I shoved it at the back of the dance shelf. The cover is so pretty, so full of promise, so hopeful...yes...this dvd promises so much but delivers so little in the way of applicable ballroom dance instruction! This DVD WILL NOT HELP anyone 'Learn to Dance like the pros!'....as promised on the packaging.
A more ideal place for this DVD is in the personal 'home movie' collections of these dance pros themselves (we all have them...but thank goodness we do not produce and peddle them to the general public!)...So this film is a bit frustrating...
It's like listening to the actors blather on in the special features/commentaries after you watch the movie. Boring! But at least you got to see a movie first! It is like buying a blockbuster hit film and only getting the commentaries...no film!
Most of the discussions in this dance instruction dvd might be better left unpublished! I just don't care how the two dancers developed, got along with each other, or how difficult it was for her to cooperate with him...or how hard it was for her to stand in dance posture...how unfit she was at the start... but... some people might
To say something nice: Natasha's (the female partner's) dresses are pretty and so is the dvd box label pictures. I found her personality and dance style more agreeable than her partner's. His was so over-the-top, contrived...like he wasn't really even paying attention to his partner...he was so lost in his own judge pleasing 'act' with those overboard hip movements, spastic styling and downright embarassing facial expressions! Sometimes, something simple, yet genuine is such a breath of fresh air!!!
On the very thin surface, they are a physically attractive couple...however...my partner announced that I should NOT look forward to him adopting the latin technique, styling and dress example presented in this dvd by Brendan Cole in the near or distant future!

I'd give it 0 stars, but that's not an option...Jan 03, 2007
By M. J. McCloskey
As you can see from the other reviews, this product is not very instructional at all. The only benefit my fiancee and I got from it were a lot of laughs. Then we cried because we paid $15 for it. Then we returned it to the store and asked them not to carry it. There are very, very few circumstances in which a person buying this product would actually benefit from viewing it.

Strictly not instructionalOct 24, 2006
By oban
If you are looking for music to listen to, or to watch a pair of dancers this is the ballroom dancing dvd and cd for you. If however, you actually hope to learn ballroom dancing steps, please look elsewhere...
