Summary: Worse than it looks
Review: I bought this workout because it was one of first dance-aerobic routines available on DVD. It looked fun and intense. From MTV, I expected something very up-to-date with good moves and better-than-average music.It wasn't as good as it looked. Strange camera angles make it difficult to learn the moves. Often, the camera cuts away to an info screen and there's not enough verbal instruction to keep up without any visual input. Some of the instructors were quite good, giving clear explanations of how to get the most out of the steps they were teaching. However, many of the moves were taught by CNote members who, while fun to watch, obviously didn't really know what they were doing. I would have expected the workout to be a bit more intense than it was, but with practice it's probably possible to funk up the moves enough to make it worthwhile. Overall, the DVD may be a worthwhile investment for CNote fans, but probably not as a fitness tool.

Summary: Hotttttttttt Young Men, but....
Review: That now is my main attraction to the tape because the instruction is so well-done it drags onnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnn... However it is an interesting, unique concept - the mixture of dance and gentle martial arts moves, but... there's too much talking and not enough moving. It takes forever to gain momentum then when you nail the sequence they move on to the next endlessly-long break-down of instruction. This tape does have a great *fun* engergy level, it's sexy, and if you like gazing at male 20-somethings in their resplendent, physical prime, it's hard to go wrong. In fact...even when I'm mentally critquing this tape's bad points, I'm praising the physical beauty that abounds. Men, men, men. Some of the moves are very intriguing, challaging, and the concept is grand but the usefulness points are few and far between. You basically stand around and 'wait' in this one. If they would have grouped instruction from actual routines it would made all the difference in pace and satisfaction. Buy it as either an innocent, sexual novelity or a tape to provide a very-occasional physical work-out diversion when you want to practice extreme patience or Disney's version of a high school gym atmosphere when the cheerleaders and jocks are at their best (said with a grin).

Summary: I Loved It
Review: This video was kind of hard at first, but once I got the routine down, I absolutely loved it. I love to dance and this workout was more like a dance than any exercise video I had ever done before. Plus, I lost about 10 lbs., after about 4-5weeks of doing it 4 days a week. So, if you love to dance this one is definitely one for you!!!!

Summary: lots of fun
Review: If you have some dance experience, this is a good video. I felt like I got a good work out, and I had fun doing it. I didn't find the self defense section very useful. Self-defense is better learned in a class with a live instructor. If you like to dance you'll like this video.

Summary: Read This Before Buying
Review: Although the Tai Funk Dance moves are fun to learn, this video is not what it promised. Camera angles make it difficult to learn the dance moves for one thing. Next, once you do manage to learn the routine, they only do the whole routine three times before the video concludes. Most exericse videos, such as Tai Bo, teach the moves individually and then have a 20-30 minute routine encompassing all you've learned. I didn't even work up a sweat doing this workout. Therefore, if your only interested in learning some new dance moves, then purchas this video. If you are actually wanting to exercise, purchase Tai Bo.

Summary: Too Complicated
Review: The only thing I like about this video was the beginning warm up with Chi Kung. That part was something to learn and use regularly. The workout is just a group of people teaching us one section at a time of a dance routine which is kind of complicated. After finally getting it down its not something you would want to do again. I was really dissapointed with this video.

Summary: grind workout: Tai Funk Aerobics
Review: i found this workout hard to folllow. the instructor doesn't really tell you how to do the steps and it moves very quickly. they also do not repeat every step from the start when you put it together. only the new step and the one preveious are repeated so you dont get a lot of practice on the first steps. the camera also moves around too much making any effort to try to watch and learn very difficult.

Summary: don't waste money and time with this one
Review: There are much better workout video's out there. I found this dvd a waste of my money. I have only watched it once, and found it to be hard to follow and interesting if you where a teenager!

Summary: don't waste your money
Review: This video starts off with a tae chi warm up. Then has 20 minutes of dance aerobics. The tae Chi is all right, but they don't hold the positions long enough to do you any good. I had to constently pause the tape in order to get a good work out. Which is not what I conserder fun. The instructor is very good but the "grind dancers" look like they don't know what they are doing during this part. To make matters worse it seems they focuse on the poeple who are the worst at Tae chi. If your interested in this aspect a purely Tae Chi work out video would be better. The dance aerobics made me feel as if I had two left feet. The steeps range from moderately easy to moderately hard. However, between each steep they stop and walk for minute while they explain the next steep. Which is helpful the first time you watch the video but gets very old very fast on subsequent viewings. In addition "C-note" and the aerobics instructor is annoying. They spend too much time playing up to the preteen age "HEY" "You GO GIRL" crowd, to the point of making all but the valley girls sick. If your interested in either the dance aerobics or the tae Chi there are much better places to spend your money then this.

Summary: It got the job done...
Review: Interesting warm-up sequence, but once the group was focused on the workout, I didn't feel I was getting the exercise promised. The steps were not difficult to catch on to. Editing and camera work was poor in some areas, where you are shown what muscle you are working with each particular step, but while they show you that you can't see how to do the step.
