"This workout DVD is AWFUL if you have even the vaguest notion of how to move to a beat. The dance moves are ok (I guess, I couldn't stnd to make it through the entire DVD), but there is no real music behind the workout, and the even the pathetic bit of beat that's provided in NOT IN SYNC WITH THE DANCERS! It was incredibly frustrating - just about get the moves down at slower speed, trying to move with both the instructor AND the music, but you and she (along with here backup group) are obviously moving to a different drummer. The moves and the music (if you call it that) are half a beat out of. Just frustrating to no end."
Very hard to follow

"I really wanted to enjoy this workout DVD, as I am a big fan of Hip Hop and Ballroom DVDs, so I thought putting them together would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the biggest problem is that none of her cuing is in reverse, which is an industry standard. Normally, in a dance DVD, the instructor will tell you to move to the left while moving to her right. So, you will move to your left as instructed and "mirror" the instructor. Unfortunately, Lisa doesn't do this. It makes it really difficult to follow. If you follow her voice cues, you won't be following the TV. Unfortunately, it just makes for a very frustrating experience and I wasn't able to finish the workout."
