Customer Reviews of The Method - Dance to Fitness

great dancing to the rhythm of drums!
The execises in this video is made up of two parts led by two instructors who are great, both as dancers and instructors. I have several other fitness videos but I cannot help but reach out for this one whenever I put on my tights to start exercising. It is addictive :-) Seriously, I think that it helps if you have some dancing background but even if you don't, don't worry! The instructors are very good and you will learn the steps and get to enjoy them more with every exercise. One more word though. I used to dance classical and modern ballet as a hobby but had to give it up due to personal reasons. I restarted my fitness program with an easier dance workout video and then moved on to this. It may be a bit hard for a first time exerciser. The only thing that I criticise about this video is that the camera focuses on the drummer a couple of times and this causes problems for the continuity of the dance, especially if you are a beginner. But on the whole, I greatly recommend this video for everyone.

Fun Great Workout, Even for Nondancers
I'm not a dancer, but like most people, I suppose, I secretly want to be. And I'm not exactly in great shape, but I'm trying. Unlike the usual boring, repetitive, Let's Jump Up on a Step and Rip Our Knees! junk, this video is both challenging and fun. I learn a little more each time I do it, I get a fine workout, and I feel a little like a real dancer. My only kvetch would be with the camera work--sometimes, they don't show the part of the dancer that is doing the move. (For instance, focusing on a face instead of the lower body for a side plie and bow.) This can make it hard to follow, but only three or four times on the whole tape, and I soon figured it out. Also, I can either do the whole tape or, if pressed for time, just do the first section with Jennifer Kries and still get a good workout in 35 minutes. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the camera thing.

Must be very coordinated!
I was excited to buy this DVD, but when I brought it home, it wasn't quite what I expected. The dance moves are difficult to follow as the instructors go very quickly. It took me many viewings before I had any clue what was going on. You need to have a lot of space in order to do this workout, and must have pretty good coordination. I am 25 and athletic, but still struggled with getting the moves down. Lisa Wheeler's section is definitely better, but still somewhat advanced for me. I was hoping for more of a modern-style, hip-hop type workout, but this workout focused on ballet and jazz moves. I broke a sweat, but overall this DVD is pretty lame.
