This DVD is designed to help you learn to make the most of your practice
time. This is not simply a workout DVD, but also a lesson in how to practice.
The elements of an effective practice routine are broken down and explained
as you are guided through a complete, fully body dance workout.
There are several drills at varying levels of difficulty that are designed to
increase your physical strength, muscle memory, and coordination. The
beginner dancer can benefit from the breakdown of the moves and the slow
isolation drills, while the more advanced dancer can go straight to the chapters
that incorporate finger cymbals and layering techniques.
Over time you will notice the moves becoming firmly ingrained in your
muscle memory. With regular practice, you will develop a strong, trained body
that can effortlessly layer shimmies with isolations and finger cymbals.
