 Just an Average Jane's opinion...Mar 20, 2005
By Sassy Lady33
"apple eater"
To put it bluntly, I think the lady from gainsville has it all wrong. If you want silly gimmicks like poles and boas and lap dancing, go buy a video on lap or pole-dancing or some other dvd on stripping. There are plenty of them on Amazon. I bought this video for a workout, and it was, especially in my legs and tush.
If you want to be a stripper, go to a strip club. If you want to get a workout and feel good then you should try this dvd out. I liked it. And if you think it gets boring after 15 minutes I don't know what to say except you must be a young stripper or have stopped watching. I thought the floorwork started in the 3rd part of the DVD, and if that part wasn't sexy enough, then there is no hope for me at all!! :)
Good Luck ladies...

This is the most fun workout ever!Feb 09, 2005
By P. Turcotte
I tried this DVD after taking a few Urban Striptease classes at my gym and its awesome! Its just as good as taking a real class, only I can do it at home whenever I have time. Tricia is a really great instructor, very motivating and not annoying like a lot of the celebs & other DVD "fitnes gurus". I HIGHLY recommend!

Awesome workout!Mar 14, 2005
By N. Nettles
"WolfEsence"
I found out about this new workout under the recommendation section and ordered it... All I can say is WOW! This is absolutely amazing workout! Quick paced for the cardio, muscle toning with the isolations and uses moves you could put to use on the dance floor as well! Too bad there are no classes around here like this! I would be there in a heart beat!

 Great moves, patient teaching, but bad music & self-conscious dancingApr 12, 2006
By Touch Remedy
"TouchRemedy"
The menu options give you either a full workout, a mini tease of only 18 min or any chapter. The background beat is definitely cheap & almost nails on the chalkboard with no temptation to dance. The stage is a nice simple brick wall with vinyl black floor. There are 6 backup girls with Tricia all in pick sports bras & black pants, 2 of them in their 40s or more, all in great shape.
Tricia herself is upbeat, sweet & means well, I love her honest personality & friendliness, but she's not the best person to learn to be more graceful, fluid or be in touch with your body. Her backup dancers are mostly worse. It seems they are more focused on doing the moves to burn calories then to be sexy.
Tricia also is always counting loudly with too much enthusiasm, like counting is more important then dancing, as if she needs it in order to move. She breaks down the routine to each step, going in 1/2 speed or slower which is great, but sometimes goes over the simple moves several times too many. There is a separate part for the harder moves like undulations, but that was taught faster then other moves & she doesn't give enough analogies or body placement. I'm glad I already own belly dance dvds.
After every time you do more then 2-3 moves at once, she always lets you stop & "shake it off" for 15 seconds, even if the moves are very simple like walking in a circle. This doesn't help keep you going & reminds you you're working out & bored waiting. Her teaching slowly should be the "rest" time like other DVDs, not more standing around, that's what a pause button is for. Since the music sucks, that's all you have in your head, her counting. Every time after the rest, she always has to count to 5 before starting again which is very annoying, a simple "ready" would suffice.
For extra strength training, there are about two moves in the middle of the routine, one a upward dog/downward dog cool move for the arms & the other being squats that she has you practice over & over a %&(#load of times that would kill anyone, that is presented like a regular aerobics class.
There are about 4 moves done on the floor & no pole work, but how many people have poles in their homes? I'm sure if you have one you can find other dvds for that specifically, this is for exercise & learning to dance, not become a professional.
There is a Mini Teaser which is 20 min which has a 10 min warm up & then you do the routine straight through normal speed 6x. That idea is great, just ruined by the bad dancing by the dancers.
The moves are the most stripper/sexy like of the ones I have which is what I was looking for, Carmen Electra's being too cute & MTV dance like & Jeff's Costa's being half hip-hop, half stripper style. Carmen's dance instruction flowed better & no stopping, she counts a lot too, but not nearly as bad & she's more fluid in her movements & not afraid of her body & more in tune with it. I like Jeff's best, he's the most fluid, knows how to let go, least afraid of his body, he's also a lot of fun, his had best flow & was like a workout with teaching moves slowly & then speeding up with no rests.
I had a VERY hard time finishing this, not because it was hard to do, but because I was so uninspired by the bad music & self-conscious dancing & slow pace. Too bad since the moves were the most stripper style & sexy & Tricia was very patient about teaching moves slowly so people can follow. Dancing is about letting go & feeling your body, being aware & stripping most of all, but this dvd lets you down most in that area.
There still is almost no body awareness, they go through the motions, but seems like the moves could be more sexy with the right attitude that the women don't convey as much either due to production or shyness or no body awareness of their own. It's kinda done with little enthusiasm for dancing, more like "eh, if this is what turns on my man, uugghhh, fine, I'll do it, but I won't like it, I don't feel attractive/sexy...." This is what turned me off the most. Real dancers aren't afraid of their own body or enjoying how it moves, even martial artists are aware in an enthusiastic way, though different.

Striptease in SeattleMar 08, 2005
By Erin C
I've taken Tricia's class and she teaches a mix of moves that are sexy, but not overtly racy or shocking. It's a fun routine and from my experience, I've witnessed women of all ages feel empowered by her class. It's also a really great workout that incorporates moves, much like an aerobics or dance class. You will work muscles you never knew existed!
