Best T'ai Chi DVD I've bought
I spend a lot of money on t'ai chi videos and dvds. Most of them are performed by middle-aged men who don't relate to me - the viewer - at all. I liked Jayne Storey's video because she seems to talk to and be interested in the people she's teaching. All the other so called 'masters' may be doing better tai chi according to some reviewers, but hey, I'd rather watch someone I can relate to as a human being. Storey's a great teacher. She's warm and seems genuinely "into" her art. If you want "pretentious", sure there are other dvds...but this is a real woman teaching real tai chi to real people. Go ahead and buy it.

There are better tapes than this one
This tape is the worst if you are planning to watch it more than once. She sadly goes REALLY slowly through the introductory workout explaining every move and repeating things to the point where I hated her after the first viewing. You just stand there for 80% of the time. Then when she finally moves to the part where she does the whole workout she just goes through it ten times faster and with no instruction at all. And it is a very wide shot where you can't even really see what is going on. Furthermore, the filmmakers seemed to have been trying more to make an artistic video than an instructional video. Whenever she is about to show you something crucial the camera angle is terrible or it dissolves or wipes to another shot during the important moments.<

>The music is terrible; every post-production aspect is poor the DVD isn't set up into meaningful chapters. There are no redeeming qualities to this tape. I keep coming back to it thinking that I wasn't in the proper mindset when I first attempted it but I just become angrier with the filmmakers and with the instruction. When I first got the tape I did it every day for a week and I didn't really improve at all because it is terrible instruction. I apologize for this rant, I just want to make sure that you don't fall into the same trap I did! Buy a better tape!

Not good for beginners
I am very disappointed by this DVD. The production quality is terrible (like watching a home video), the instructions are not clear and are hard to follow. I am a beginner and wanted to learn how to do Tai Chi. This is not the dvd for that!
