I am completely on board with 1,3 and 4. I don't know Diedre Morris but I would throw in Kari Anderson's work except for the TIFTing.

My nominees to fill out the 5 are
Gin Miller Intense Step
Christi Taylor's Totally Cool Step/Step Heaven in a tie.

Patrick's CIA 9001 is still my Holy Grail step workout.

I can't help but rave about Tap Less Step More. Fun music, and Deirdre cues so well. It would be #1 on my list, but the G-Force guys are a sentimental favorite. I always wished Deirdre would do another workout.

Renda, you are a woman after my own heart! Sometimes I'm a bit embarassed at how much I love Gilad's Step and how often I still do it.
But hey, it's my workout, right?

I don't do step anymore, so this is a trip down memory lane. These were the glory days of step! What I noticed is that the longer it took me to figure out the choreography, the more I loved the workout. (It took me a LONG time to figure out CIA 9801!) I got Step Heaven pretty quickly though.

1. Christi Taylor - Step Heaven
2. Christi Taylor - CIA 9801
3. Christi Taylor - Still Steppin'
4. Cathe Friedrich - Step Works OR Step Fit (still love that spinning skip across the step)
5. Kari Anderson - Body Tech OR Gay Gasper CIA 2104 Greatest Step Workout

Edited to add: G-Force Super Step. I had to have a VF friend show me how to do one of the combos.
