Nightclub Dance Series: Sexy Moves For The Club

This would've been a really good dvd if it weren't for the videography. This is the first dance instructional video I've seen where much of the video doesn't even show the women's legs! There are too many zoom shots of the girls' butts and upper half. If you don't catch on to dance moves quickly it's especially annoying. "Too often The instructor goes- Ready? Let's do it full out, now. 5-6-7-8 and..." and they start the move, but you can't see their legs until they've already done a few steps of it. There are times when I have no idea what leg the girls are about to start their move in because the camera person is too busy showing us a girl's butt during the move. For one example- The sit and Roll move- when they turn their backs to show you how the move looks from behind they actually start on the opposite leg than they used when they showed you the front side... But you don't realize this until after they've already started doing the move because you don't get to see their leg position! All I could think of trying to follow this dvd is that the camera person was using this job to zoom in on parts HE wanted to see and forgot this was supposed to be a dance instruction video. If you pick up moves quickly the 1/4 of the time they spend not showing you the full body of the move probably won't bother you so much, but for someone like me it's a real pain. I feel I often have to rewind the move back to a shot where they're actually showing the legs and whole body doing the move so that I can practice it.

The DVD cover promises a 'Bonus Inside Free Dance Workout' and also a workout remix, but the actual DVD I received doesn't contain those features, so there's no routine to practice, unfortunately, just the breakdown of the moves. Contacted the seller twice, heard nothing back. Also, contacted the publisher and heard nothing back either. Not contact details for support.

The product description is actually amazingly close to the real thing! You almost never see that these days. Sexy Moves For The Club is a two disc set. The first DVD is about 100 minutes long and only has the instruction. The instruction is definitely really good. All three ladies on the cover are instructors in the video although only one of them does most of the talking, the one in the center. They all really know what they're doing though and they all differ a bit in their styles - which is good since you get to pick the one you want to copy. Each lesson is about 5 minutes long and is incredibly detailed. The section on transitions is very useful as well. By transitions, they mean a short spin or dance move that you can do in between the other dance moves to switch between them. They actually show you four different transitions and they're all pretty good. The second DVD has the Bonus Workout as well as some other special features. The Bonus Workout is 15 minutes long and is actually pretty good. They don't say anything while they lead the workout and let the music do the talking - which is actually great because I hate it when fitness instructors have too much motivational talk. Pop-ups throughout the workout give you different tips and announce how much time you have left. The other special features are a Bio page (these girls have danced with some seriously famous people), and something called Instructors In The Club which shows how each of the instructors would dance in a club using the moves from the video. Overall, what an exceptional product! One of the best instructional videos I've seen for sure.

The lack of stars has nothing to do with the seller (arrived on time and in great condition)...having said that, this dvd sucks! You don't really learn any "moves" and the same song is on loop through the whole video. Very annoying! They teach you the same move in a few different ways. It all seems like a warm up and when you're ready to dance, it's over! WTH?!?! Not worth the money. I read the (bad) reviews and I thought I'd try it anyway and form my own opinion...should have listened to them. DON'T DO IT!!!

I would have given this 5 stars except for the music, which is a few very boring, repetitive songs on loops the entire time. Maybe they chose that so the viewer wouldn't be distracted and could instead focus just on the dance moves, I don't know. Anyway, the lead instructor is adorable, and gives very good cues. She breaks every move down first by going slowly and explaining it, then breaks it apart even more by focusing on the various body parts involved. Then, they quicken the pace and show it at regular speed. I think they spend just enough time on each move. Some reviewers have complained that they don't break it down enough, or that you need prior experience to learn moves. I disagree. If they spent more time with each move, the video would be way too long! That's the whole point of a video...you can watch it over and over and practice on your own and then watch their explanations again. Don't expect yourself to be perfect at it on the first viewing. Take your time, have fun. The moves are indeed very sexy. Some, I've seen friends do over the years (like the body roll), and always wondered...how do they DO that!? I thought they were just magically born with the ability. :-) Others, are more on the trampy side, like exotic dancing. I personally may not do them, but still like to know them, as even just incorporating a few seconds of a really sexy move can spice up your night. :-) This video requires so much lower body strength that even if you're just going through the video slowly, stopping and rewinding to get the moves down, you WILL USE and strengthen your legs. Lots of bending knees squating while rolling and swinging the hips type of stuff. Great core and leg workout, and I thought my legs were already pretty strong. One other complaint...one of the backup dancers is HORRIBLE. It's distracting. She's not tight with her movements and just overall looks sloppy and trampy. It's one thing to look cute and sexy, it's another to look tacky, cheap, and easy. And I am no prude. But I just try to not focus on her too much and stay focused on the lead girl, who somehow manages to teach sexy dance moves and remain approachable and classy. :-) I feel bad saying that, but honestly, it's so bad that if they make more of these videos, they should remove her. Or somehow get her to tighten up her moves. Maybe they have her there to show all levels, and make the rest of us not feel bad if we look awful at first too? :-/ Overall, definitely recommend, I'm really enjoying this video!

From the reviews I thought this was going to be wonderful! and maybe it is because I am not American? But I did NOT find the moves sexy. things I liked: it was definitely aimed at night club dancers, the girls were in heels, and the moves were on the spot, simple walking, stuff that you CAN do when you are out dancing - I liked some of the arm stuff, as it can be hard to know what to do with your arms Things I didn't like - the moves didn't seem sexy to me! - the music I did not like (it was very repetitive) So on the whole I wasn't that impressed. BUT if you go out and don't know what to do, this could be a good starting point. Or even just something to give you ideas for what you could try next.

It worked o.k. until 6 minutes into the Remix, it hits a glitch and gets chopped into little pieces and almost comes to a stop. Can you send me a return slip and a replacement video? Thanks, Pat Elton 602 418 6562

lovedddddddd it! It was an incredibly well done video and the most important thing, the instruction, was also the best thing about it. The video is set up like this: there are about 25 moves in total, including transition moves. Each move starts out with the dancers demonstrating the move first, lasting about thirty seconds or so. Then the lead begins with a very detailed explanation where she breaks everything down, body part by body part. Her pointers were extremely effective and she's great at anticipating what you would be struggling with. Each move is about 5 minutes long and Nicole shows you the move from the front as well as the back. The camera angles were very professional and the close-ups were definitely useful. Oh did I mention they were wearing heels? Yes, these hot dance moves are possible in four inch heels! Finally, each section is wrapped up by the girls showing you the move full speed one last time and giving you last minute pointers. You may have to rewind some of the more difficult moves several times, but it's almost scary to see yourself improve. I started seeing changes almost immediately after I bought the video and my moves became smoother in no time.
