Dirty Dancing - The Official Dance Workout (DVD)

I brought this dvd as I have put on a little weight since having my 2 children. I wanted something I could do that I would enjoy. I have brought several dance work outs and the are complicated. I found this dvd fun and basic. The teachers on the dvd take you through the steps. basic step by step. My 4 year had great fun trying it with me and was managing to keep with a few of the steps.

Great fun work out recommended.

I previously read reviews on this that were negative and purchased it as I love the film and who wouldn't want to imagine dancing with patrick swayze.

After reading the reviews and using this product myself I am not sure those people giving a negative review was reviewing this product. I totally disagree with any negative review written about this product.

If you want to lose weight and you want to have fun learning to dance whilst losing the weight then this dvd is the one for you.

I love my keepfit videos. I'm one of those people who like to keep themselves fairly fit and active but from the comfort of my own home rather than a packed gym full. I found this DVD and the routines within it absolutely impossible to follow. The begining part of the DVD concentrates on running through the simplest of dance steps at a slow pace to introduce you to the moves, which is great. But once the routines start they become very fast paced and for me completely impossible. I couldn't follow any of it and found myself standing still for most of the routines literally scratching my head. I turned it off about half way through and have advised interested friends not to bother

This DVD is hilarious...I killed myself laughing the whole way through. It is very Cheesy American, but if you can get over Johnny & Tracy the instructors saying "They're so excited to be dancing with you" then you'll be ok. The dance are good and it's ace when they put the Dirty Dancing music on with the moves. The songs could have been a little better they chose, but still fun...Loveman is best. You do need to practice a little, but i think once you learn the steps they'll be easy!

At first i didn't think It'd get me worked up, but I actually did get a sweat on. Hopefully I won't get too board of it as there are only 4 dances to learn and will hopefully get fitter by having fun as well!

I was really excited about getting this DVD as soon as it came out. I love the film 'Dirty Dancing' and couldn't wait to spend an hour working out to the music.
At first I was really put off by the two 'instructors', they are really very cheesy...sadly they don't get any better as the DVD goes on but I think that you just have to accept that it isn't going to be a serious workout - just a fun way to raise your heart rate.
They quite helpfully go through a 'syllabus' at the beginning, breaking down all the moves, although I still can't get the hang of the pony! They then use these moves throughout the DVD, showing you each dance step by step, followed by doing it to one of the songs from the film. I still haven't managed to follow any of these through to the end, but I have only had it a week.
It's not as good exercise as any of Davina's or Ministry of Sound's workouts in my opinion, but if you love Dirty Dancing and are determined enough to learn the routines then I would recommend this DVD.

i have many dvds of this type on this is definitly the worst one yet. The music is corny the woman is so annoying and the moves are far too fast and complicated. I plan to sell this one on.

I thought that I would be inspired to dirty dance at every opportunity. But quite honestly I found it a little dull. The male dancer "Johnny" put me off no end I'm afraid. Not as good as I was expecting.
Have already resold it!!!!!

this is not just another work out dvd ,this dvd will get the body parts moving in ways you didnot know it could, however i did feel that it started a little bit to hard for me and has tacken me a few weeks to get into it, and now i have got into it i feel great and i am now reday for the big one (THE DANCE WITH JONNY HIS SELF ha ha )

I have just brought this dvd thinking how different it will be and I love the film, I found the presenters really cheesy they kept talking to each other which was abit annoying. The moves were also quite complicated it was fast and you werent at a very good angle to actually see what there feet were doing. I suppose it will come with practice but with my stomach I dont have time to wait so have got a different dvd. Overall I was personally dissapointed but other people that have good rhythem and are used to dancing will probably be ok.

this is a good work out if you do not have to left feet like me best doing it with someone as you can have a good laugh doing it not easy to do takes a bit of learning to do stick with the basic steps before you even consider the acual dance routine because you need to master them first most of all its fun doing

I have loved the film for years, and with all the new hype about the 30th Anniversary taking place this work out DVD was thrown into the limelight. If you ever wanted to be 'Baby' or 'Johnny' with those small and petite body's this was how to do it..(along with a VERY large living room/work out area)

Unfortunately this did not live up to expectation and on reflection was dissapointed that it was just another marketing technique to get more money from a classic film.

I loved the film so thought this would be a good way to get fitter. It wasn't what I was expecting. It was far too difficult. I think it would be ok if you were a trained dancer. In the end I had to sit down to watch as I had to concentrate so hard on what they were doing. It was also very cheesy. Although it did give my husband a laugh watching me.

Bought this for my daughter and she has been doing it every day she really finds it easy to follow would reccomend

This is great. Initially I was worried that it was too difficult but after two weeks I've as good as mastered three of the dance work outs. The teachers, Johnny and Tracy are great - really cheesey which is how it should be. Johnny opens one workout with the line, 'Hi friends, I'm so excited to be dancing with you today.' The moves are influenced by Penny's routines more so than Baby's. The production is superb, with the moves always visible - no torso and head shots. You don't need a massive area to work in and even the backing dancers make mistakes. If like me you find it difficult at first, stick with it and it should become great fun

If you are expecting this to teach you the dances from the movie you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a good work out dvd this is the one to choose
it varys the dance moves which you never tire of.

This dvd wasn't what i was expecting i was expecting dance moves from the movie, but there is very few. Has an exercise dvd it is good though once you master the steps...GOOD LUCK

i bought this item, as i am trying to keep fit.
it is a very good dvd and very easy to follow.

the only error with this product was that there was no booklet enclosed.

i have recommended this workout dvd to friends and family.

After all the hype and building up of this release i was very dissappointed by the outcome. Wish i had never bought it !!!!! If you want a workout DVD then this doesnt quite do it at all !!! And if your looking to learn the dances from the film then you are better just watching the film. The dances arent broken down and the keeping fit/ workout is non-existent other than you are dancing and burning calories. Poor effort !!!!!!

watched the video but was dissapointed because it did not feel like i was doing a workout instead it was showing me the steps to the dances in slow motion. Poor variety of songs

the dirty dancing workout was ok but i thought the dances would be more exciting and sexy then they were!

I remember watching Dirty Dancing in my teens and thinking " I want to dance like that!!!" Well now I can! Ok it takes a bit of practice but I'm getting there!

I find this dvd very enjoyable. I've got a selection of dance based fitness dvds and this is by far my favourite. I love the music in this dvd and the moves are getting easier everytime. You do need a lot of space to do some of the routines but these can made less elaborate and more compact.

All in all a fun workout though not for those with two left feet!

I love the film dirty dancing and was delighted to buy this workout DVD. The instructor takes you through the dance of your choice slowly to practice and then you can do the dance to the music. There are signiture moves from the film and music from the movie. You do need quite a bit of space to move around as there are some kicks and turns. The workouts seem a little hard at first as you are trying to remember what move comes next, but with practice it gets easier. After I had finished the warm up, practice and dance I felt like i'd had a really good workout.
The only thing I didn't like was that there was no cooldown at the end. There are also no workouts for targeted areas such as upper body.

I decided to buy this dvd to help me loose some weight and I love to dance, and what better way to do it with my favorite music and my kind of dancing. The only thing I will say is there are a lot of repetative moves but that is good for me as it can take me some time to learn them! All in all an excellent dvd I would recommend it.

not what i was expecting but a good workout and I suppose thats what mattters.
wouldnt really recommend though but will keep doing it.
