The routines appear to be done on the same set as the show. There are some background dancers that surround the instructors. They proved to be helpful especially during Cheryl's sections. While you can customize the dance workout, here is the Play All routine.
Warm-Up
Merengue
Cha Cha
Samba
Mambo
Toning Work-Out
This really wasn't that fun of a workout. Even the background dancers didn't appear to be having a good time. Cheryl gave her instructions leadenly. Maks was definitely the better of the two. He gave frequent reminders (both verbal and nonverbal) about holding in your stomach and utilizing it in the steps. Cheryl taught the Samba and I was totally confused on how to do the basic "bounce" step. Oddly enough, I was watching Dr. Oz and Maks showed up to teach the audience how to do the samba (for exercise). There, I learned that I had been doing the technique incorrectly. I did the routine again after the Dr. Oz segment and still had trouble with Cheryl's instruction. Luckily, there was a blond dancer with really good hip action that I could follow.
(This is the only clip that I could get on my blog. It does have some scenes from the video.)
Maks also had the funniest quote on the DVD. "I can't see you but I think that you're doing fine." I broke out laughing.
I wouldn't recommend this DVD. It just felt like so much was lost in translation and I just didn't really enjoy myself.
