(More customer reviews)Angi Carlston does a great job of clearly describing and demonstrating all the core striptease moves you'll ever need to put together a sexy dance routine. She then shows some transitional moves, combination moves, a few advanced moves, and a whole set of "specialty" moves that go along with the unique and fun dress-up fantasy "Performance Videos". Angi and her two students each pick one of the fantasy themes and do their own demonstration dance as well.
Other than a very short intro and tips section (which are separate selections from the menu), there are no interviews or other "filler" material. No fancy video editing tricks or slick graphic effects to distract from the instructional content either. It's a very straight forward and down to business presentation, with multiple camera angles, and very good sound quality (shot at a professional sound studio). This one is much more organized and more "produced" than the previous Strip To It - Bump n' Grind DVD, which is more informal and done in a typical home environment.
The "Performance Videos" are a very cool idea and a lot of fun! They are NOT videos of women doing striptease routines, as you might tend to believe from the description. Rather, the Performance Videos are videos designed for you to use while performing your own routine. There are ten different dress-up fantasy soundtrack themes, with a Performance Video for each. These themes are: School Girl, Naughty Nurse, Secret Agent, Ninja Seductress, Cowgirl, Firefighter, Cheerleader, Racing, East Meets West, and Cop / Bad Boy. The soundtrack for each theme is presented in both 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound, as well as regular Stereo. The video track for each theme has simple graphic patterns that are synchronized to the music and are meant to be used as sexy back lighting for your dance. The idea is to try to recreate a club experience at home with the surround sound music and sexy colored lighting. If you don't like the soundtrack music provided, you can also turn off the audio and play your own favorite music, and there are several "video only" backgrounds as well, including a couple of stroboscopic type videos, as well as multiple background "slides" that can be changed in real time with your remote. You can give your man the remote and let him control the video lighting effects in real time while you dance! It's a lot of fun!
Finally, if you don't have a nice home theater area to play the Performance Videos on a DVD player and dance at the same time, there are full MP3 versions of all the songs on the DVD-ROM section that you can use to burn onto a CD or copy onto your portable music device, so you can use the music anywhere you want to dance. The DVD-ROM section also has a section of helpful hints and instructions on how to use the Performance Videos, as well as some behind the scenes photos, and credits.
Great value for the money. Just the instructional content alone is worth the price of the DVD, but the fun Performance Videos and soundtrack, and the free MP3 files, definitely make it a great total value.
As always, don't base your purchasing decisions on reviews. Visit the company web site for previews of the videos and music so that you know what you are getting ahead of time.
