This DVD is great because you don't have to memorize any sequences. It's all done in mirror format so you just watch and follow along. It's about 30 minutes or so. The instructor is like the winningest American ever in Tai Chi (while competing in Asian countries, I believe). So, he LEGIT knows what he is talking about. He put a lot of thought into creating a routine that moves and improves your energy. They have a testimonial at the end from this older woman who had to sleep in her chair because of all her surgeries/health problems. And, now..she sleeps in her bed at night and has been without pain. She is also one of the students in the background. You should give it a try!!!!

I actually really like the Tortoise (and the Hare), but I also get it. It's not bouncy and dancey, but that's also what I appreciate. There are some FIRMs that are considered "tortoise" that are more uplifting, like from the pink era there's one led by Emily that is mostly strength and stretch-based (it had several different names, one was "Lite" IIRC) and it still manages to be uplifting. I also agree that FIRM Strength manages to be happy without being somber, even though its pace is slower. The Tortoise is also not a particularly easy workout, and by using ballroom aerobics, the music is by necessity more classical in nature and less like the late '90s/early '00s dance music.
One thing I've found, though, is that lately when I get rid of a workout I'm almost always annoyed with myself because my body changes and I find different things useful at different stages of life.
