Tracy Anderson TAVA - Review
Tracy also leads the warm up which is about 4 minutes in length. There is no cool down.
So the workout consist of five dance combinations and you do each combinations three times through. At the end of each combo, you freestyle for two 8 counts.
The first time is without music and is called the teach or learn session. This is where Tony takes you through the steps and you are learning the steps in real time. There is not half time or any real break down.
The second time through is with music. I called this the rehearsal phase but Tony was calling the teach phase the rehearsal. At any rate, you are doing the step to music.
The third time through is also with music and Tracy calls this the flair stage. You are suppose to dance with flair and attitude.
Tony does not mirror cue.
So, I really like this workout. All the combinations are doable and fun. The music is okay. In spots, I thought it could have been better. My one beef with the workout were the camera angles.
I know I have said this before when reviewing a dance workout but CLOSE UP TORSO SHOTS DO NOT WORK. It is best to see the whole body.
So often throughout the workout, the camera would go in tight on Tracy and it was jarring. I was following along and got totally thrown off with the camera angles. Also, the camera seem to go for a close up shot at the same spot each time, so in viewing a combo three times through, you never got to see the move fully.
Anyway besides that. I love all the combinations. Oh, one more thing, I did wish that Tracy and Tony combined all five routines at the end into one big combo but they did not do that.
Along with Tracy and Tony, there is a full cast dancing with them. The set was dark but lit with spotlights.
