Taking the Cathe plunge-Need Advice!

I'd like to base my choice of Cathe step tapes on two things. Could experienced fanatics out answer the following:

1) Which are Cathe's danciest step tapes? To give you an idea of where I'm at, my current fave is Christi Taylor's step tapes, so I like complex and dancy. It seems that Rhythmic Step is dancier than usual for Cathe. Can you recommend others that are most similar?

2) Has anyone ever counted the beats per minute on a Cathe step tape? That would help me know how her tapes compare in intensity to others I currently do and if I will be able to handle them.

Thanks so much,

Elisa S
 
StepWorks is IMO probably the next most dancy after Rhythmic Step. If you have no trouble with Christi Taylor, you will have none with Cathe (I like Christi's Stepping Zone and Still Steppin', but have never been able to do the second part of Step Heaven). I remember that a Collage Video person over the phone told me the bpm on a couple Cathe tapes I bought there, so you might be able to ask them. I remember her saying that it was a bit faster than the norm, and I have seen some comments which complain about the quickness of StepWorks particularly. I love all of Cathe's step tapes though.
 
Hi. I agree Step Works is next most dancey next to Rhythmic Step. I personally dont like dancey choreography which is why I love Cathe. She does have some dancier steps but I always modify them. As far as bpm's I have no clue. I do know that I have Kathy Smith's Power Step and that is slower than Cathe's step tapes. How about just posting the bpm question on the Ask Cathe forum and get the answer straight from Cathe.

I would agree that Step Works would be the next danciest after Rhythmic Step followed by Step Fit. I can't remember, but maybe All Step from the CTX series might have been also.
I think the videos with the fastest BPMs are BodyMax and StepWorks, but I don't know the exact numbers.

StepWorks and Rhythmic Step for sure. I've never been able to get StepWorks down, so I gave it up. The choreography is really hard.

Elisa, so I see we sucked you in, huh??? I'm in agreement here with the others, for dancy: Stepworks and Rythmic Power. These are the two that I always "put off" doing because I am no J-lo (hey that rhymes). For a fun tape, Step Heat is my fav, plus it has abs at the end. Now dont forget, you get a discount the more tapes you buy. And, as Cathe always says in her intros...:you are gonna LOVE these workouts".... Welcome aboard and prepare to become addicted! Judy
