Nothing drives a man wilder than a sultry striptease by a sensuous woman. This video will teach every woman– regardless of age, size or experience—how she can discover her own seductive power and build her sexual self-confidence. Sinclair’s expert instructor and her class of 8 women learn how to perform with grace, style and confidence. Watch in explicit detail as the women put the moves on their real life partners. Included with this new DVD set is a CD (35 minutes) of the original music score from the video.
We stumbled across this Pilates video clip on YouTube recently and had to find out the story behind it. Itâs clean, crisp and professionalâand an exciting example of whatâs possible with Pilates. The fast-motion Wunda Chair sequence is especially amazing. It was produced by Louise Taube, a Polestar- and STOTT Pilates-trained studio owner in Melbourne, Australia. We interviewed her via email to get more information about the video.
PP: Why did you make this video?
Louise: For a number of reasons⦠ I wanted to draw attention to myself and my website www.louisetaube.com, and also to show the world how fun Pilates is and just how many exercises are possible on the equipment.
I used to make dance films, and I really wanted to show the equipment dancing and to bring a fresh perspective to the exercises.
I guess I am interested in reaching as many people as possible with Pilates â it has changed my life and I really want to tell the world about it!
PP: How are you using the video?
Louise: Making the clip was a dare for myself, and also a jumping board for one of my dreams of making Pilates DVDs and selling them to the world.
I guess I wanted to see responses to it and to generate courage for the next step of making a DVD. And now my first DVD is in production and will be available at www.louisetaube.com. Â
PP: What has the reaction been to it?
Louise: My clients were impressed and have become more loyal. Â Some were awestruck. Â I have a few new clients from it and interest from people outside of Australia who would like to do Pilates with me but are a bit too far away!

Zumba’s fitness creator is Alberto Beto Perez. Beto was born in Colombia, South America and is the founding father of Zumba and national director of the Master trainers team. Beto Perez is also a celebrity choreographer and a Pro dancer. He has done choreography for Shakira and many other celebs.If you wondered what the word Zumba means, it means to move fast and have a lot of fun. His aerobics dance workout incorporates many Latin moves and dance steps like… Salsa, merengue, Flamenco, and Samba. Recently hip hop and other exciting dances have been added to the dance mix.
It was just a total accident that Beto Perez discovered this Latin style dance workout, as the story goes one day as he rushed out of this house to teach his aerobics class he forgot his regular music tapes. As soon as he realized this, he grabbed some Latin music tapes that were in his car and began teaching the class to this music. The class exploded and became the most popular class in Colombia. He named this class “Rumbacize.”
By 1999 Beto Perez had arrived in the United States, more specifically Miami, Florida. There he met two young Colombian entrepreneurs who convinced him to change the name and to begin marketing his fitness philosophy throughout the world. By 2008 the small aerobic fitness company had well over 20,000 certified instructors and DVD sales in excess of 3 million.
(Recently Beto has added different music to the fitness workout, introducing a little bit of country music, funk rock ‘n roll and many other exciting beats.) However, he has also been adding additional products to the companies fitness line. Recently he launched a dance workout for individuals who are complete beginners, never having exercised much before; active older adults and individuals who are physically limited. He called this product Zumba Gold. In addition, another recent release is a product design for kids. With most young children not getting enough physical exercise this new product has received an overwhelming response. The new Zumba kids program is providing children with the ability to exercise and at the same time have fun.
The international market has not been neglected the company just recently opened up China and has representatives in over 40 different countries throughout the world. This Latin dance workout is taking over the world.
The company has aligned itself with Mark Burnett productions (of “Survivor” fame) and Emilio Estefan (husband of Gloria Estefan) to begin marketing the fitness dance products in the Hispanic market through television. But Mr. Burnett is not the only one in Hollywood to have noticed the incredible popularity of this Latin inspireddance workout. Many famous A-list Hollywood celebrities such as Ricky Martin, Eva LaRue (âC.S.I. Miamiâ), Vivica A. Fox (âCurb Your Enthusiasmâ), Stacy Kiebler (âDancing with the Starsâ), Hunter Tylo (âThe Bold & the Beautifulâ), and former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres have âditched the workout and joined the partyâ with ZUMBA. from a small boy in South America to an American success story once again Alberto Beto Perez has proven that the American dream is real. He is a true “rags to riches” success story!

The American Dance Festival presents Dancing in the Light, a one-hour modern dance television program showcasing 6 historic dance compositions by African American choreographers. All of the dances were originally recorded for the Emmy Award-winning series Free to Dance, a three-hour documentary that aired on PBS in 2001 as part of the Great Performances: Dance in America series. While Free to Dance uses select excerpts from the dances to inform its narrative within a historical context, Dancing in the Light features six dances in their entirety or in the case of one work, a complete section. The dances include: Ostrich (1932) by Asadata Dafora, Barrelhouse Blues (1943) by Katherine Dunham, Strange Fruit (1943) by Pearl Primus, Mourner s Bench (1947) by Talley Beatty, Rainbow Round My Shoulder (1959) by Donald Mc Kayle, and First Section of D-Man in the Waters (1989) by Bill T.
