Hi,
I knew I would never buy this DVD for myself (because I knew the choreography would be too basic for me), so I asked for it as a gift. I have to own everything of Cathe's for some reason, even if I know I won't use it. And I don't use this often at all. The outfits are pretty outdated, the build-up of the choreography is S-L-O-W , there is a lot of whooping from Cathe... It just isn't how I want to spend my time working out (sorry Cathe). I usually do all of my step workouts on the floor due to knee issues, but I acutally use the step for these workouts in order to make it intense enough.
If you have no trouble with the choreography in Cathe's Stepworks, Rhythmic Step, Step Blast, etc., then I would say don't get this DVD. You might be better off spending your money on a couple of Christi Taylors DVDs. They are not as intense as the Cathe's I've listed here, but they are a lot more fun and probably just as intense as the Cathe Classics. Another option would be Kristin Kagen's Step This Way or Step This Way 2 (the 2nd is on DVD), or Seasun Zeiger's Rock Steady Step. The STW's are quite similar to Cathe's intensity, but more choreographically challengin.
Sorry, I know you didn't ask for other suggestions, but just in case you needed some...
Hope that helps,
