    Customer ReviewsGreat workout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :2
    The Kukuwa Dance Workout is very exciting to me. It keeps you moving and I learned some pretty cool dances at the same time. I dont usually break a sweat, but this Dance Workout changed all of that. I am so glad my friend introduced me to this so a quickly made this puchase. It is worth it. It is something quick and anyone can keep up with it. Trust me, if I can keep up so can you lol.
    Easy moves, nonstop cardio
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
    I usually make up my own cardio dance. I would never take a dance class because I am not good at remembering tricky sequences. This is a nice dance DVD because the moves are so simple and you move right and left and forward and back and shake your hips which is pretty much a no brainer. I also appreciate that you dont need too much space. I like the third dance best and Kukuwa is very encouraging and motivating.I didnt think it was so much like other African Dance. Seems more Latin and I like that because it is better on my back.
    Outstanding way to do cardio for those with dance background
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :9
    I disagree with the reviewer who said the instructor slowed down too much, doing high fives and the frequent interruptions. Everybody knows if you dont want to stop moving, you run in place or jump rope. Or get water or wipe the sweat off your face. Not hard to figure out.

    In terms of the workout, cueing could be better, however, it is a DVD and rewind is always an option. It is presupposed with ownership of the DVD that you will do this more than once and, therefore, you will pick up the moves.

    This DVD dovetails nicely with other types of dance instruction, including W. African and Latin/Caribbean. I like the music. It is really one heck of a workout....sweat, sweat, sweat, and the movement IS constant. She does a good job of addressing the core with fun moves that dont really feel like hard work until you wake up the next day.

    I have an excellent W. dance background (ballet mostly) and find this to be a very challenging routine, have done it more than half a dozen times and am still mastering the moves for segment one. This is exactly what I need to keep it fun and challenging. However, I also take W. African dance twice a week in my local community, as well as samba, so maybe this tape will not resonate with folks who arent into the moves or music of Africa.

    An excellent purchase, IMHO. FANTASTIC instructor!!!!!!!
    be ready to sweat!

    I really enjoy this dvd. The music encourages you to keeping moving. The dances are pretty easy to catch on and Im not a great dancer. The first time I used the dvd, I was sweating in the inside of my elbows! And it was just the warmup. Worth the investment!
    FUN

    African Healing Dance

    African Healing Dance

    Amazon.com


    African Healing Dance, with lead dancer Wyoma and the dancers and drummers of the Damballa dance troupe, is a step-by-step dance course on healing traditions and spiritual movements that are special to the African dance heritage. An African proverb teaches, "If you can talk, you can sing, and if you can walk, you can dance." Thus African Healing Dance is suited for beginning to advanced dancers, students of dance, instructors, and choreographers studying and/or performing African dance. The instructional video and included manual provide an effective guide for a dance or exercise program at home or in a workshop setting. Director of the Damballa dance troupe as well as head dancer, Wyoma begins with a simple warm-up, including breathing techniques body articulation movements for the hips, chest, shoulders, and feet and stretching. She then artistically integrates the teaching of six traditional African dances with the passion and joy of connecting dance movements that have the spirit and energy of nature and the elements (water, wind, fire, and earth) and animals such as the snake, elephant, and bird. A final portion of the 70-minute video is called "The Healing Journey," in which Wyoma encourages personal exploration of inner rhythms and feelings through improvisational movement. As one watches this video, it is difficult not to feel the pulse of the drumbeat and the spiritual strength of Wyoma and her celebration of life through dance. --Christine Aiken

    I love the instruction and the drum beats. I especially like the healing dance it allows me to let go of daily stress and come back to self. Strange how the sounds of Africa bring out the movements of my soul. I am Malian American and give respect to my ancestors who dance the same dance with vigor and spirit. Much love

    This video is excellent.

    I discovered this video off of another customer who reviews a lot of salsa DVDs. He said it was one of the best dance videos hes ever purchased. And recommended it to salsa dancers.

    used copies are cheap so ...

    I agree completely. This is a top quality video. THANK YOU
    Excelente!!!!!!!!

    All I can say is wow!!! I did read some reviews before purchasing this dvd but you know what you have to experience doing the movements yourself and give your own review. I love this dvd!!! I did take some african dance classes when I was young. So I did recognize some of the movements and let me tell you I was looking for something I could sweat to and believe me when I say I have found it. This dvd is fun and will get you to sweating from the warm into the dances. I am glad I brought it and will be working out to it every chance I get.

    a great all round workout, not an easy one for sure. I just love all the moves, its great. My sister & niece tried it with me, we have alot of fun!
    Instructions are lacking
    Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :1
    I love watching African dance and thought that this would be a great way to learn some of the moves and get a good workout at the same time.

    Im sure this is a wonderful DVD for those who have done African dance before or who pick up dance steps REALLY quickly. My problem was that the insructor would demonstrate the step very briefly, launch into the move at full speed, and then go on to the next step without much opportunity for the student to practice. I need to do a new step 3-4 times before Im ready to tackle the next one. The pace was lightening speed which is too bad because the moves are beautiful.
    I like this one
    Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1
    Although I was afraid this would be easy because of the title "African Grace" I quickly discoverd that this DVD is very invigorating workout. (I thought is would be graceful and flowing) I have completed it three times so far and I sweat!
    I appreciate the encouraging, clear instructions and the fact that the actual cardio workout is longer than 30 minutes (about 45 minutes total cardio with a 5 minutes warm-up and cool-down) If you want to work out for the 30 minutes, there is a break at about that point so that you can skip the second cardio section and go straight to cool down.
    The moves are adv. beg to intermediate because of the steps and rhythms, but nothing to difficult that cant be mastered after a few plays.

    Great Dance, Lackluster Instruction
    Rating Point :2 Helpful Point :10
    I had high hopes for the African Grace: A West African Dance For Cardio Fitness DVD. Im afraid I have been spoiled by the high quality instructions in some other dance DVDs (e.g., Crunch - Cardio Salsa by Giselle Roque de Escobar, Brazilian Dance Workout with Vanessa Issac).

    Although the actual West African dance is beautiful, I had a hard time following the instructions. Some of my favorite dance DVDs first demonstrate a new step in full-tempo, then the viewer is asked to dance along to the new step in half-tempo, then full-tempo, then transitioned with the previous step, before dancing to everything learned up to that point. Other favorite DVDs have you repeat a step 8 times, then 4 times, then 2 times, then 1 time in order to get it. There were only a few steps in the African Grace DVD that offered such helpful instruction.

    Another problem with the African Grace DVD was the costumes. Although the pants worn were attractive, their bagginess made it difficult for me to interpret what the instructor and other dancers were actually doing with their legs.

    I would consider buying a version 2 of this same DVD if the instructions were improved, but could not recommend it as is.
    The warm up was not very sufficient
    Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :1
    Just thought Id share my two cents here, I thought the video was great but what she said was the warm up section should have been much slower. It felt like I was jumping right into the faster aerobics portion. Muscles need time to be warmed up, stretched, etc., before jumping into fast paced work. I liked Debra and her helpers, and the dance is fun and great exercise. The only problem I had was that the warm up should have been more of a warm up.
