Jade's Dance Workout DVD

As well as dropping two dress sizes since leaving the Big Brother house, Jade Goodey's also dropped the incessant banter that made her so watchable. In Jade's Dance Workout, the Jade who doesn't take herself seriously is seriously presented as a dance-fitness coach. According to the work-out's sell, the Big Brother contestant loathes the gym and managed to lose weight and tone up thanks to dancing. Yet in the interview (featured on the DVD) Jade mentions a personal trainer... and a gym. Not surprisingly she neither looks nor acts the dance part. With four funky guys... strutting their fab professional dance bodies, unfortunately Jade is shown up for what she is: inept. Jade aside, an ace soundtrack, great moves and an accessible work-out (featuring a fun 10-minute warm-up, a 30-minute work-out that isn't too demanding and a five-minute toning cool-down) make this a fun way to get moving and master some flash stuff for the dance-floor. In fact, had this been presented by the choreographer himself, Fame Academy's Kevin Adams, this would have had huge appeal. On the DVD: a so-called interview simply features a few sentences on a list of subjects, without capturing Jade's humour. Most revealing, and certainly the only interesting section of the entire DVD, is the behind-the-scenes feature, which confirms this dance charade is nothing but an ego-boosting job. --Lorna V [show more]
