Product Description

The most beautiful and romantic of all ballroom dances is the Waltz. The Waltz continues to be very popular dance today. The simple steps and accented 1-2-3 beat of the music makes the Waltz very easy to learn. Its dreamy, light quality makes you feel like you're dancing on a cloud. Vicki Regan teaches dancing the way she learned, step by step, one move at a time. Everything is carefully explained and demonstrated for both men and women. You'll start with the basics, then work your way up to combinations and moves that are easy to learn, but are very impressive on the dance floor. You'll learn in your own home, at your own convenience, and at your own pace. If you didn't learn a step perfectly the first time simply rewind the tape. You can practice alone, with a partner, or invite a group of friends. It's good exercise and great fun. If you're a beginner, ten minutes into this tape you'll be saying, "I can dance!" Vicki Regan has danced on Broadway and in the movies, and was National and North American Ballroom and Latin Dance Champion. She has taught many people including other dance teachers and ballroom competitors. Ron De Vito, Vicki's teaching partner, is also an acclaimed Broadway dancer and a former National Ballroom Champion.

Customer Reviews

Too Slow Paced
I bought several of Vicki Regon's tapes. She seems to be a very fun teacher and very good dancer. But the instructions are too slow-paced. There are a lot of repeats which are not necessary for DVDs and video tapes. With only 4 or 5 steps taught in each tape, if you are a beginner, I doubt "you can dance" comfortbly on the floor after you've learned from those tapes. In terms of steps per dollar, you can find much better deals on market than this series.

Dancing lubricant ... and fun, too!
Finally got kid #4 into college but have forgotten all those high school/college dance lessons? Same here and all left feet. To keep embarrassment to a minimum and get coordinated together, we tried some DVDs from Netflix and found time with Vicki to be the most productive and fun. We started with Foxtrot, as it is similar to walking - we remember how to do that! It allowed us to dance a few at the next dance and even made us look great at lessons, lucky the first dance they taught was ....foxtrot, with only a new step or two added (but left out the underarm turn Vicki showed us). Well, it did take a week of after work nights to get up to speed.

So when we tried the waltz, we were so used to being coordinated and to Vicki's teaching style, I do believe we picked up the essence in a single weekend night ... and still have a week or so until the next dance class!

I'm getting the whole set to have in case we forget something, but can't say which are important to get in DVD format so it's easy to flip back & forth. Only seen 2 thus far, so would say Foxtrot should be a DVD but waltz - VHS is OK, save the money.

If anyone knows of equally good videos that show the advanced steps, let me know, but please ... not Cal's - too many footprints!

It's a must for starters
Easy to learn the first steps and to follow the instructions.
The producers should make other dvd-s for more advanced steps.
