Customer Reviews

Dance Everyone Can Do
I own all of Petra's Step workouts, and until very recently, have shied away from dance workouts citing "general lack of coordination." Received 3-2-1 as a gift, and can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Petra calls her choreography "doable dance" and I found it VERY doable! What's more, your dancing is a very cleverly disguised workout: your heart rate is elevated, you're sweating, and the next day your lower body is sore in places other forms of cardio don't access nearly as well. Don't hesitate to try this and Petra's other dance DVD PK Grooves.

Fun Aerobic Dance Workout
This DVD consists of a warm-up, 3 dance segments, and a cool down. After you learn the 3 dance segments, you have the option of a last segment that combines all 3 dances. The DVD motto is "3 moves and you're dancing" but I don't really think the 3 movements you learn in the warm-up are really a part of the dance moves presented later. The moves are a lot of fun; however, if you're not very coordinated, you may have trouble with this DVD. I was making lots of mistakes the first time, and it took me a couple of workouts before I got all the moves down. Petra is enthusiastic, without being annoying. The music is fun, and adds to the workout. The cueing is adequate, but it could be better. There are several places where extra turns are given as options. When turns are presented, Petra stays with the basic move, and her 2 back up dancers do the turns.

Aside from the workout, Petra's back up dancers have normal bodies, which is refreshing in a workout video.

If you enjoy aerobic dance videos, that are moderately challenging, I think you'll really enjoy this DVD.

Vintage Petra
This is another high energy and fun workout from Petra. Although getting the cues down is tricky at first, as with all of her other DVDs they come easily with practice. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is the format. In order to do the whole routine you have to go back to the chapters and select which one you want to do. That takes time and a loss of concentration. Even when you have done all 3 dance chapters and you want to do them from the top, you have to go back to the chapter menu and select that option. I love the music and Petra's enthusiasitic approach...fun!
