"This is an old vhs copy to dvd from probably the early 1990s since all the women wore spandex thongs. I got the origonal vhs from my library.

Victoria is a great dance & great energy. At first I wasn't sure I was going to like it because it starts with a lot of step touches, but her love of dance, great body awareness, fluid funky take on the dancing made up for it & then some. Even her warm up was perfect, she stretched each area for perfect length of time & moved on the muscles I was just thinking should be next. I wasn't in the mood to exercise at first, but by the end, I was going all the way into it & loving it.

This is basic set with 3 white women & 1 african american guy. Yes, the girls aren't funky or fluid, but they keep up. Just keep your eyes on Victoria. The music is great, it changes with the program & it's real music with a great beat & real singing. Remember, this is set in 1990s so expect music from that time.

There are step touches, skating, hip hop running man & roger rabbit, some mambos & cha chas, some jazz hands & turns & box step.

She breaks down the moves, & teaches in 1/2 speed a few times & then full speed. She does a lot of step touches in between so help you transition between the different dance styles. She's a wonderful teacher. No one should have trouble keeping up in terms of learning.

I had a lot of fun & I am now definitely going to rent her other dance dvds.

You can see her website at victoriajohnson

On youtube just look up "Victoria's Body Shoppe"

NOT low-impact!

"She's encouraging and gives great suggestions about body-alignment. The music is fine and the moves are GREAT fun. BUT it is NOT low-impact! I just want folks to know, so they can avoid injury. I have done low-impact aerobics on a daily basis for almost two years but I am middle-aged and overweight and perhaps that contributes to jamming up my knee doing this routine."
