I might be posting this in the wrong section and if I am I apologize :-)
I was wondering if anyone is selling their Innovation DVD's. I was going to buy them off of danceshopper but thought I would check if anyone was done with them and wanted to sell them. Any reviews on the DVD's would be super helpful too. I was looking for some technique videos but most are coreography with some technique. Does anyone know of any technique videos out there that you have found specially helpful? Thanks again everyone and happy dancing!
 
Hey,

Those dvds are excellent, although I am not selling them, I can say it is one of the more detailed technique dvds ever created for the public.
 
It is for dancer though right? I have seen many "technique" videos out there but they are geared more towards the DWTS viewers and such for exercise or recreation. I want one geared towards dancesport competitors which I am assuming these DVDs are for. Plus I love Karina and Slavik (still bummed about their split).

I think you will find these to be very beneficial. I ordered them on the Ukrainian site for significantly less $$$ (I think $100 for all of them...or something like that). Each disk has a choreographed routine broken down in segments (and run through several times naming steps, counts, his part, her part) and then segments on technical details (posture, footwork, leg action, body action, timing). I think they're worth every penny. Watched the paso on the way to work today, in fact.

Sounds great! Do you mind sending me the site that you got the videos at? I am finding that most sites sell each video for about fifty something each plus tax which is a little steep for me.

That was great Samina!

Keep in mind that these DVDs are only available (to my knowledge) in PAL format, so you can't watch them on an NTSC TV in the US. You can usually watch on a computer since it can change resolutions, which is what I have to do with mine. However, they may be available in NTSC, it's just that mine are not.

I watch them on one of my tv's - haven't tried the others.
 
These videos are great, I think once anyone has them, they would not want to sell them but I got mine on Ebay and what I would make sure of is the region that says it will play on American dvd players. It will say it in the item description and if they don't put that, then do not buy it!:)

It is the kind of technique that you are looking for definitely. Not a recreational dance video or anything. You will love them and even at 100 dollars they are worth the price.

I heard most DVD players sold in US now can play both PAL and NTSC DVD's.

Sorry...missed this earlier.

Just fyi - I had a problem with the samba CD, emailed the guy and had a replacement in a week. I really think you'll like these. To me, they're not the kind of video you look at once or twice and have no use for them. In fact, as my learning process goes on, I better understand things in the technique sessions when re-watching. And heck, Slavik is worth the $100 to look at. :)
