Hm, it's been a while that I watched it, and it's Saturday night after more than three hours of dancing, lots of hiking and a big glass of wine. I am afraid, the energy levels are low and this is all I can get out of my brain ;-)

I have it, and I found it useful. It is a "watch and learn" video, and does not teach any movement. I liked the introduction of instruments, even though I am not a novice when it comes to ME music. And, I also found the fairly short and not all that much in-depth discussion of working with musicians useful, even though I have some experience working with a band. The second DVD is as I recall mostly performance - but given that I live in a city where I can't go watch experienced dancers in a restaurant, it was really useful. Overall, that video covered so much of what had never been covered in my classes and of what I hadn't quite figured out on my own that I am happy I paid $35 for it. However, I wish it had given more in-depth information; I felt it skimmed the surface a bit too much to give it an enthusiastic review.

HTH.
