I wanted to wait to reply as I had just bought the Slim down video but hadn't had a chance to try it yet. I tried it yesterday. OMG! I would so not recommend that video for a beginner. They hardly do any explanation AT ALL!
and to top it off the flexibility 'bonus workout' on my Slim down video is done by my least favorite - Rania. I haven't tried it yet... maybe it will be okay.
Their basics video is good. I also have their Hips & Thighs, Arms and Abs. I do those on a regular basis. I also have the Mystic Dances one. Which I like - but I have to work through it slowly. I do that one in sections. I do the arms, hips and am trying to learn the turns/veil work (the turns make me dizzy so I can't do them long) It has a choreography piece to it also but I have to work up to that, once I master the turns.
I didn't think you came across as hateful at all. and I trust me I understand your frustration. It is really hard to learn from a DVD - but it can be done. (I hope so anyway because teaching locally is either... really expensive or not what I'm looking for)
