4.0 out of 5 stars  “very good instructions”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2007

Just got the DVD today and flicked through it. I can agree with the previous review and say it's a very good buy for beginners but even intermediates will get something out of it as it shows some nice variations of the simpler moves and explains the complex ones very well.

All in all very good. The only thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars is that it has less on the intermediate than the beginner stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars  “Best Pole DVD out there”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 May 2008

I have quite a few of these Pole Instructional DVD's and this is by far the best. Don't waste your time with the others, this is the one to own. All you need to remember then, is it's all about practise, practise, practise!

5.0 out of 5 stars  “Fantastic instruction”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2009

Outstanding instruction, explanation and demonstration. Moves shown in slow motion too so really easy to see. The pace of the DVD is very good too, and it is broken into sections that build on each other. The warm up is simple enough for even a beginner to dance, and yet covers all the muscle groups and joints, and you can just follow the instruction on it. This DVD should keep any beginner entertained for weeks and months!

 

 

5.0 out of 5 stars “Fantastic DVD! really helpful, as a beginner!”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 October 2008

As a beginner, I was really looking forward to getting this DVD, having seen a sample on another website. I'd bought some books and had a couple of other DVDs, but I felt slightly overwhelmed by all the information I was getting, and didn't really know where to start.

 

However, the fact that this DVD has sections to complete in a clear and chronological order makes it stand out from the rest. And the warm-up/cool down sections make you feel as though you've done a proper workout, without being too lengthy... then it's up to you to work through each move in your own time. On top of that, it also incorporates a couple of variations to some of the moves, allowing you to learn possible transitions/enhance the moves that you've learnt.

 

Fantastic DVD! would definitely recommend, and can't wait for the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars  “The BEST pole dancing DVD”

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2007

Believe me over the last year or so I have possibly used every pole dancing DVD I have been able to find. This IS the BEST one I have ever seen or used. It is FANTASTIC. Well recommended for every level, although those who are very advanced may find this a little too easy. It is definitely great for practicing those moves that make a performance SMOOTH. Great narration, great examples, great inspiration. BUY THIS FOR GREAT POLE MOVES, you will not be disappointed!!
