Simple stories that bring home the importance of saving, wise investing, and living within your means. I've listened to it twice and am now loaning it to my friends. I wish I could get my kids to listen to it...

This DVD is not geared towards individuals who already have some dancing skills. That was fortunate because neither my wife or I new the first thing about how to dance. We would spend a couple of evenings per week in our living room practicing the easy step by step "moves" and with about six weeks practice we pulled off a great waltz at our wedding. We may never dance a formal dance again but we're both happy that we got our wedding dance right!

I found this DVD to be very good. The steps were easily laid out with each chapter on the DVD and you could replay it over and over until you got the steps down. I still think that if you want to use this DVD to dance for your wedding you'd still better set aside a couple months of practice to get it down. Just because its on a DVD doesn't mean you can learn it overnight. The dance styles are more classical so it will take time to find the right kind of music to dance with-but if you like old style music dances this is the DVD to choose.
I know nothing about dance videos, but it helped us! February 24, 2006

I know nothing about dance videos, and this is the only one I've tried, but I think it's great. They break the steps down so they are very easy to follow and understand and don't try to make you do anything to cheesy or flashy. I think it's worth the $20 or whatever I paid.
Excellent! Highly recommend! December 6, 2005

My fiancee and I took a 3-hour ballroom dance class with 30 people for $142, and learned only the very basic steps of Foxtrot and Waltz. We did not learn nearly enough to be comfortable dancing in front of a crowd. For a tiny fraction of that cost, this DVD provides much better instruction!
The lighting and sound quality on this DVD is excellent.
The presenters, who are young and friendly, are clearly very experienced dance instructors as they provide lots of useful tips for beginners. The DVD has a whole section at the beginning to teach basic dance posture and leading/following techniques, which we found very useful. For each dance type (Foxtrot, Waltz, and Swing), they discuss the basic rhythm and clearly demonstrate the basic steps for the leader and the follower from various angles. They then add music and demonstrate the dance at full speed. They encourage you to rewind and practice what you've learned. Next, they build on the basic steps to show several more advanced steps. Again, they demonstrate everything slowly from different angles for both the leader and follower, then add music and do full speed. As a bonus, they teach you a few fancy, but not too difficult, moves you can add to really impress your friends and give your dancing a touch of personality. Once you've learned all the dance steps they teach for a given dance type, you'll feel confident enough to do that dance comfortably in front of a large crowd.
We love being able to rewind and practice the parts we're having trouble with. This format is much better than a dance classroom, and the instruction quality is much better than what we got with other ballroom dance videos we checked out of the library!
I highly recommend this DVD.
