2.0 out of 5 stars Not the music from the film, 7 Feb 2007

By	A Swede "swedishamazonshopper" (Germany) - See all my reviews

On the plus side: The workout really works up a sweat. And dispite having taken a couple of dance courses over the years I was not immediately able to follow everything (which I consider a plus, since a workout-dvd is probably something you plan to watch over and over again). The routine is really a mixture between aerobics and dance, it is quite nice.

On the minus side: The music! So important for you to enjoy either an aerobics or a dance lesson and really work it! At first I thought it was very bad, like someone put it together on the computer last night. Only a couple of times some melody from the film mixed in. After a while though I thought it was a little bit funny..

*Why* did they have to be cheap when it came to the music, it seams they were quite professional in all the other parts of the production... (And yes, of course I love the soundtrack of the film and was expecting to get at least some of it when I bought this dvd!)

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing to say the least !!, 31 Jan 2007

By	Tessa Brown - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love dirty dancing and was expecting this DVD to at least contain some of the music from the original soundtrack, if not routines that were choreographed to bare some resemblance to the routines in the movie.

The music at time is so bad that it is barely recognizable as being from the soundtrack and the routines, that are not `dirty' by any stretch of the imagination, are not in time with the music that is being played so even those with a great sense of rhythm struggle to follow them.

It's also very confusing when being told there will be two repetitions of a move, there are actually three and when being told to go to the right the instructor goes to his left. The four women doing the routines struggle to follow the instructor so I am not surprised in the least that I struggled.

The only sweat I broke into whilst doing this DVD is when I was laughing so hard at my partner whilst he was trying to show me, very unsuccessfully, how easy it really was.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Rubbish!, 28 Jan 2007

By	Miss A Lou (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews

So I spent hours on the internet trying to find the best workout dvd for me. There are so many out there, how do you know which one to choose? I ended up choosing the Dirty Dancing workout as a) it was the bestselling on Amazon, b) it is apparantly designed to help you LOSE WEIGHT which is the most important factor for me, c) I wasn't sure if I could face looking at an annoying celebrity every day, d) it boasted to have an amazing soundtrack (unlike many other workout dvd's). With all this in mind it seemed to win over any of the other's I'd looked at. Well what a disappointment! I found the tricky moves impossible to get the hang of and a bit over-the-top and unnecessary. The instructor spent very little time explaining and demonstrating the moves, and just moved on to the next one without giving much chance for you to practice. There's far too much fancy footwork for me! I just wanted something basic but fun, I didn't want to have to watch the Basic Steps section over and over before I could even think of attempting the workout! Even the Warm-Up/Breathing section was made unnecessarily fancy and therefore tricky and time-wasting. I really am disappointed and feel I have wasted my money and also time I could have spent on a simpler more direct workout getting closer to my weight-loss target. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, except perhaps trained dancers!
