No shipping notice and no dvds. I was just thinking about it this morning. Of course, they probably aren't like Mary and maybe were even closed on the holiday weekend. They could also have been overwhelmed.

ETA: I also ordered on 11/27.

I asked a couple days ago and Colleen said she spoke with the distributor and all orders from the weekend shipped today (12/2/15). Not sure where they are shipping from, but hoping to have them soon.

The clip on her site has them using the board during class so hoping that is how it is set up.

My board is longer than their's so hope it works out OK. I probably won't be able to slide as fast as they do but that is OK. Some of the other work I can use my glide disc's for.

Well, don't tease. Please scan through the DVDs and give us your initial thoughts.

Argh!! Company came and foiled my plans. I did rapid scan because I knew people were waiting:

1st---these are dvd-r so that may be a deal breaker for some (not me)

I previewed "Grace" dvd.

I liked the instructor on 1st scan. Not overly peppy/talking at normal pace and she seemed to be enjoying herself. The set was sparse but not in any way distracting. On the darker side (no windows) but not Jari Love dark. Music not inspiring or distracting--can hear the instructor clearly.

She starts with stretch/mobility (ends at ~15min mark on dvd). Some ballet jumping that could easily be modified. Lot of tricep work then chest/biceps. Mostly compound (plies with upper body work). She follows with stretch.

Barre section starts ~22min mark.Calf raises/releve/curtsey lunges and stretch. Mid Barre section starts around 31min---this is typical barre glute work. She follows with stretch.

Lower Barre is inner thigh /ab work. Inner thigh work is similar to Cardiobarre in that you are on back(leaning on elbows). I happen to like this version as it yields good results for me. Ab work is mostly crunch and pilates variations. Not as much my cup of tea. Again,stretch section.

The next section was labeled strength/balance but she announces it as stretch so that's probably an editing goof. Nice stretches/typical fare. I like that she has so much stretching throughout the program and ending.

Glide board is about 8-10min I think. Glide with lifts/ballet legs/glute raises.Then planks & mt climbers.Her slide is shorter than mine so I won't be able to keep the same time but I'll still get a nice workout.

Have to run. All in all, I give it a thumbs up on 1st viewing. I like barre variety and this is a reasonable extra choice for me.
