Customer Reviews of The Method - Step Up to Dance

Hated it but now I love it....
The first two times I went through this video, I couldn't keep up and got really frustrated. Now that I have practiced a bit and mastered the routines, this is my current favorite video. I get a really nice workout and I don't get bored. If you like step aerobics and you have some patience to learn a routine, this is a great video. If you want something really straight forward with a solid no fuss workout, you may want to look at other videos like Kathy Smith or Keli Roberts.

Impossible
I like to be able to do most of the steps in an exercise video the first time I try it but, barring that, I like to be able to tell that I will be able to learn to do it in the future. This instructor (she's kind of lackluster and not inspiring--in other words: BLAH!) doesn't give enough information about right and left foot. There are a lot of turning around moves and I need more instruction when I can't see the TV. The steps feel so unnatural that once I've turned back around I'm never on the correct foot. It's really difficult even for an experienced dancer. (Karen Voight is an EXCELLENT instructor.) <

>The introduction is very brief and doesn't tell any of the benefits of this workout. She doesn't give any safety tips or tell you how to get the most out of the exercise. Why did they bother putting it in? <

>This video requires MUCH more space than most people have in their living rooms. If you don't have lots of empty space, don't get this DVD. Also, they use this little "The Method Toning Bar" as a sort of prop at one point in the workout. I suppose you could use a chair instead--a very tall-backed one--but I just balanced on one leg and was fine. (I hate it when you have to use their special little props and they don't suggest any alternate equipment.) <

>I also didn't like the ceaseless drumming. It's just plain loud. A little variety in the music would be nice. And why do they have five people on a crowded-looking set all doing the exact same steps? It just adds to the confusion. <

>It's hard to get your heart rate up when you're frustrated with difficult steps and lack of space (which is adequate for most other videos). I didn't enjoy this workout at all and felt badly that it got such high reviews: thus inspiring my investment. <

>All in all, I just didn't like this program and will probably not buy any more "The Method" DVDs because they get such mixed reviews. Here I am, throwing my review into the mix for this program. Hopefully it will help newcomers to "The Method," like me, make a more informed choice.
