Faster than I thought
This line dancing guide is great for those that are committed to learning how to line dance AND have taken some beginner level classes before. The video moves through each dance step very quickly and begins the dance moves shortly after. For beginners, you would have to replay many many times. For intermediate dancers, the video may be a comfortable pace. I've enjoyed learning several of the intermediate level dances that are still popular in dance clubs today. It was truly an enjoyable purchase!

Library rental - good detailed teaching
I reserved this at the library by accident. I liked her hip hop dancing dvd.
There are three levels of dancing - beginner, intermediate & advanced. There is also a video terminology where she demonstrates what a step, hook, kick, three-step, tap, ball chain, grapevine, swivel, toe or heal fan, etc. are & they are very easy movements.
Christy (on cover) teaches you alone. She's very lively/enthusiastic & speaks quickly & gets to the point quick which is refreshing. She's a little OVERLY enthusiastic, a bit corny, but better then dry/boring instructor any day.
Christy teaches you about once the moves w/o music in 1/4-1/2 speed, then again in normal speed with music (she still calls out the name of the step here). During teaching, she has her back to you, calling out the type of step as she goes. If there is turning & repeating involved, she teaches you the part up to the turn, has you practice normal speed quick w/o music, then goes on since directional changes can seem more confusing then they are.
She encourages you to rewind. I think she teaches well, going 1/2 time when teaching, back turned, calling out the name of the steps instead of just counting in 8s. I wish all dance videos did that. The only thing people could wish for is more practice, but since this is low budget (though professional sound, lighting/camera work), you gotta cut costs somewhere.

Cristy Lane's line dancing
Very, very disappointed in it. The music was horrible; she is a good dancer; but there should have been a brochure with it showing the different foot steps.
