Dance Off the Inches: Sizzling Salsa - Stella Sandoval

From the cover:

Getting Fit Doesn't Have To Feel Like Work. Anyone can dance off the inches - we've made it easy. Just 10 moves are all you need to dance this sizzling routine - and we'll show you how! No matter what your age or fitness level, you can have a great time while dancing your way into great shape! You'll want to do this program again and again because it's just FUN - and that's the secret.

Review: It's no secret that I'm something less than the Queen of Co-ordination - though I can usually manage to synchronise my arm and leg work, the grapevine is still sadly beyond me, and nobody's knocking my door down to compete on So You Think You Can Dance, what with my utter lack of rhythm and all. But I like the idea of working out while having fun and improving my co-ordination.
I did manage to keep up with Stella and her five bodacious friends for the first fifteen minutes or so of Sizzling Salsa, but then quit. I think this was partly because I didn't feel at all like I was working out, partly because peppy American is always a challenge, and mostly because I felt wholly unsexy. Yes, those rotating hip thrusts did look great, but I felt more like an unsuccessful and unwieldy caterpillar shaking off cocoon remnants than a hot Latina with all the right moves.
This absolutely says more about me, my issues and my inability to do two things with my body at once (don't even think of me and the piano) than it does about the DVD itself. I plan on returning to this program once I'm a little fitter, and little more confident and, most importantly, a little more coordinated. - Alex
