Disappointing
Don't get me wrong, I love most of Suhaila Salimpour's fitness releases, but I am unable to get the benefits from the DVD. This one is designed to be predominantly a cardio workout, but the cueing is barely adequate. I had an introductory jazz class in college but I still have trouble keeping up with the choreography here. The cardio comes in two combinations, in which she teaches the moves slowly and then jumps it up to speed to be repeated at least twice. The trouble is that she acts as if her viewers have all picked up the choreography immediately, and rarely cues the left or right side or even what the steps are once it gets up to speed.
I think that the target user for this series probably isn't likely to be a skilled dancer that can pick up choreography in a snap. It's unfortunate, because I think if the cueing were more careful I'd be able to follow along a lot better, even if I still found it difficult.
