I like to mix and match my workout, and that is why I bought this DVD. When doing a dance workout, I want to do just that...WORK OUT. I have two Dancing with the Stars Dvds and this is the worse. My goal when working out is to burn as many calories as possible and still have a little fun. I barely broke out a sweat with this DVD. It will be okay for a beginner. For those who are more seasoned, I recommend Zumba or Dancing with the Stars: Dance off the Pounds. Here, you actually break a sweat.
