I love this idea because I, too, struggle with even basic choreography -- though my fitness level's advanced, I'm new to stepping and have two left feet. As I watch some of the DVDs in frustration, I keep thinking I would be able to pick up more quickly if I could be *behind* Cathe. Maybe one camera can be behind the ladies and it could be included on the DVD as a bonus?

This would be a much better option, I think, than having someone do the workout with their back towards us. And it could be offered as an optional inset when you choose a different view on the DVD.
Of course, all home workout DVD's/videos are filmed in mirror fashion, so if you continue to rely on being 'behind' the instructor (instead of adapting to mirror cuing), you'll have trouble with other workouts as well. (And once you get used to mirror cuing, the other way of instructing is confusing as well.)
