Michelle gave this video to a friend of mine as a "thank-you" when she purchased a costume. We finally sat down and watched it this weekend and were really entranced. The topics that Michelle focused on are soooo incredibly relevant and well-thought-out. It was so fascinating to hear what each individual dancer would say in the interviews, and there were a lot of great gems of wisdom. At first glance a lot of the material seemed like "common sense", like I'd already thought of that on some subconscious level. But the fact is, I needed a way to integrate my subconscious observations into a learnable, digestable format, and that's exactly what Michelle has created. This is an organized and handy teaching tool. The concepts that can get lost in the muddle of my brain are now presented in a systematic and accessible format. I feel like I will be able to play it over and over and again and learn more each time. As the video played on, there were more and more ideas and techniques that I hadn't thought of on my own. My friend and I are especially excited about the exercises at the end and look forward to giving them a try.

I like that this dvd is more "theory" focused - I remember when Michelle was here on bhuz asking us about what we want as dancers - and now here it is. It's a unique style of dvd and very refreshing. I love that Michelle is offering all of these opportunities for discounts and even free videos as she's starting up her dvd business. I think many of us will get the exposure to her products and develop loyalty this way, and end up being good clients for a long time to come.
