Jean Butler's Irish Dance Masterclass (DVD, 2005)

I am not a trained dancer and thought I could pick up a few steps watching the Irish Dance Masterclass. For a non-trained dancer, I thought it was a bit too complicated. For a trained dancer, it's probably do-able. I didn't like the free-style dance she performed, but I did enjoy watching Jean and her associates dance as a group.

This DVD is absolutely packed with enough practice to keep one busy for years. We especially appreciate the step by step demonstration of each movement in the glossary. Each practice set starts with a very easy to do and fun warmup and streches. There are so many sections to practice each step, we have only gotten through the first five or so, and have plenty to practice with that. My kids are having a great time learning with this DVD, it is the best for exercise, since they have fun with something so good for coordination. It does not require very much space. You can even practice these steps in sock feet, on a carpet. I highly recommend this DVD, and also would recommend getting the "RIVERDANCE THE SHOW" movie to go along with it, for inspiration just how neat this can be!

This is a fast, fun workout designed for the more experienced Irish Dancer. The Masterclass progresses from toe and balance work to more advanced tip and fast treble work. If you can keep up with it (and it took me quite a few tries to be able to!) its great exercise and lots of fun.

I decided to buy the dvd to improve my skills in riverdance. It has fantastic musikk and lokks like a good entertainment to me. Since I havn`t learned this kind of dance good enough from before, the level was quite high for me. By I have plans to work with it in the future.

Wife really likes this routine and uses it as a good workout. It's an interesting and fun way for her to stay focused on toning her body. It is definitely more of a challenge than you would think.

Excelent warm up or work out for irish dancing. I can tell it greatly improved my form. Highly recomended.

AFTER A FEW E MAILS, THE SELLER AND I STRAIGHTEN OUT SOME DIFFICULTIES AND I RECEIVED MY ITEM IN A FEW DAYS. IT WAS WELL PACKAGED, AND BRAND NEW. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH MY PRODUCT. I CAN SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE SELLER IN THE PAST, BUT AS I SAID ONCE I CONTACTED THE SELLER I HAD NO PROBLEM.
