"Not Impressed, not even a little bit. I was so excited when I got this in the mail....BUT, very very disappointed after viewing it. I completely mis-understood the purpose of this DVD. I thought it was more focused towards teaching Dancehall style moves. I don't find it the least bit instructional in any way. It looks like some sort of strange aerobics on the beach. I can honestly say I have never seen anyone doing any of these dance moves in any of the clubs within 100 miles of where I live (near DC). Most of the dances are shown in 1 or 2 minute clips. The majority of the DVD is documentary and interviews. (and kinda hard to understand what they are saying)
Sorry for the bad review, but, I don't want anyone else to have the same fabulous expectation of instruction and then be disappointed by this cheaply made disc. (seriously, it is cheap)"
