Vertical Dance Workout Volumes 1 & 2

Masked Loopy II started this discussion · 1/3/2011

I started a thread with this title earlier today and it seems to have disappeared. 😕 Anyway, I just wanted to share that I spotted Vertical Dance Workout Volumes 1&2 on amazon.com's " Video on Demand" section. You can rent either volume for 7 days for $2.99 or download them for $9.99. I thought it sounded like a good deal. For some reason, if you buy the physical dvd instead of downloading, it's says it's $149.99. Yikes! I'm not sure why that would be.

I decided to get the Volume 1 download last night (It appears that you can just keep it in your "Video Library" on your amazon account if you don't want it taking up your harddrive space). I practiced the first hour or so of the video. It's good instruction (w/slow motion & written out tips). I was familiar with many of the moves, but I noticed that I was making them prettier by following the instructions to a T. I picked up a couple of new transitional moves, which was great. I was getting a little bored of what I have been doing and I haven't been creative enough to make up my own. Some movesI wasn't familiar with, like the side spin (I don't think my studio teaches that one), but they look like they will be achievable with a little practice. I like that more challenging alternatives were given for some moves (i.e. one-handed vs. two-handed...) Ok. There's my two cents. I'm sure I'll want to get the other volume also.

That is strange. I REALLY liked KT coats videos. They were actually my first lessons in pole, long before I found studioveena. They're really well made and professionally done. I think KT did a nice job setting up the progressions, and the variations were fun as well. Just a side note, the second video is way harder then the first one! I was really intimidated the first time I watched it!

Looks like webby had been working the forum the day you said you posted sooo I don't know? I have seen these DVDs and they're nice. I will caution...If your a beginner and do not have previous strength training in your background I would take it slow with these DVDs. I don't feel most of the spins are appropriate for beginners. I know when pole first became popular studios taught spins as beginner moves. But once I begin to rethink my own teaching methods I came to the conclusion that is was no longs a safe method. There is a reason I have my lessons organized the way I do 😉 My Veena method is all about building strength first!!!!🥂Its unfortunate that dvds become out dated so quickly.
