Pros: Lovable instructor, enjoyable music, largely obtainable motions for the beginner, and NO BULKY MUSCLES! I am so sick of discotheque boomchickaboomchicka music and 10 pound weights as the new standard for female fitness. This DVD has enough material to merit two workouts.Cons: The final choreography at the end is taught with the instructor facing forward, i felt that if she faced the back it might be easier to follow. The transition between "phrases" of dance included some pretty quick foot movements. The direction changes are pretty hard when one's "studio" is a limited space like a bedroom, if you live in an apartment the choreography portion could pose more than a few challenges.
