Great bang for your buck for intermediates
Just got this DVD the other day and must say that if you like Jenna's other DVD's this one is styled in much the same way. My experience is beginner/intermediate. I own Amira's beginning, Sensuous Blanca, Jenna's other two DVD's, the shimmies DVD, bellydance for fitness and well you get the drift. So anyhow heres my breakdown on the 1-5 scale. One is blah and 5 awesome.

DVD Length-5
thoroughness of instruction at intermediate level-5
Visuals, nothing distracting, good view of legs-5
Menu options-5
Costumes-2 (this is so subjective, but wasn't thrilled especially with the red dress that covers a good deal of her belly

Instructor likablility-5
Bang for buck-5 worth every penny and then some; nothing comparable in the intermediate range

Recommend-5 this is my top pick for intermediates

Good Intermediate video
I believe this is a very good intermediate video. The instructor is clear in her explaination and her movements are not obstructed by wardrobe. I like that she then performs in costume to inspire you. Good education/entertainment mix. This is also a good video for anyone who just likes to watch competent dancers perform.
