"Love it! "

I read up about this and read that many people were having problems with ordering from their website, so I ordered it from amazon. My kit came with 4 DVD. The interactive Kick Start, Latin Dancing Made Easy, Quick Workout, and Full. I have only tried the Kick Start. It's 3 ten minute sessions that really focus on showing you the 3 core moves. I broke a sweat! I really feel it in my abs so far! I haven't tried any of the other DVD's because I want to do the kick start a few more times to really get the moves down before starting the real workout! I'm so excited! 5 stars

"poor"

I bought the product, I have to agree the other reviewers, i was impressed with their commercial however the customer service rep was a machine, the web site wasn't structured well, and the all videos are the same, they are just dressed differently.
i thought I was going to learn different dances, bwoy was I fooled!
The Bonus dvd, latin dance made simple are the same on all tapes.
The exercise dvd makes you sweat dont get me wrong, but dont buy all 7 as its a waste of money, If you buy 1 you are getting the same exercises as the person who bought all 7. 1 star

"Not what I thought"

The DVD skipped and was poor quality. It was distracting to watch the woman in the back dancing the entire time you are trying to learn the steps. And they do the exact moves just faster throughout all 4 DVD's. It was hard to order on their web site, which was poorly organized. I feel as though they put a DVD together, paid a lot for marketing on television and used celebrities to profit from.
I would not recommend this product.

"Core Rhythms 4 DVD Dance Exercise Starter Package"

I have used this exercise package a few times and I really like it but it's not easy. To get the most of the program you must practice it frequently at least 5 days a week. I would recommend it to others who need a good exercise program to improve their core. 4 stars

"Jaded Latin dancer"

I've been a social dancer for the last 20 years; 10 years of ballroom and 10 years of Latin (salsa, merengue, bachata, etc). When I saw the infomercial for this, I was half asleep, so I fault myself on that part. I also fault myself for thinking that professional international Latin dancers where much like me. I haven't worked up to the full workout yet, but the steps are awkward and very "jazzercise" to me. I thought it would be more like "salsa-robics": More fluid and smooth. This is a tough workout - not that that's a bad thing. Just not what I thought it would be. I would recommend it for dancers and nondancers alike, but it's not as fun as it looks. Great cardio though!

Another star is taken off for the packaging. All four DVDs are in one case, and they can't be fastened securely, so they tend to scratch. The quality of the video is not the best, especially if you have an older DVD player like me. But the fact that you get multiple angles to view the video is a GREAT help for those of us who have a difficult time remember which side is our right and which side is our left. :)

So all in all, a decent workout, but it's like so many others. I'm keeping my eye out for something a little less dorky. Wish me luck! 3 stars
