Movie Reviews of Dance off the Inches: Hip Hop Party
Movie Review: Perfect for a rainy day!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say I totally love this workout. Jennifer is my all-time fave instructor because I understand the way she cues and the way she moves. Her smile doesn't look fake and she looks like she enjoys what she's doing. I have a lot of exercise dvd's in my collection and this is one I use when I have a day when everything just sucks. It makes me move and it makes me feel so much better about myself. I love the moves - they feel new and can be a little challening at first - and I want them to be. Once or twice a week it fits perfectly in my routine. Buy it if you like Jennifer's other dvd's (or any other Dance Off The Inches or Prevention-dvd's) - you'll love it. Movie Review: Lots of fun, can't wait to get the moves down!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great DVD. It's a lot of fun and one that you won't dread doing if you add it to your collection. However, I have been dancing for over 20+ years, all different styles, from ballroom to hip hop and I have found it difficult to get all the steps down my first time trying this workout. That doesn't mean it's not doable, but it WILL take you a few workouts to get the choreography, arm movements and flicks. In the meantime, you should listen to Jennifer and do what you feel rather than worrying about how you look.
Having said that though this is still a great heart-pumping cardio and even if you don't get every move down, you will get a good workout since you are constantly moving. The step guide tutorial is helpful but doesn't allow too much practice (you practice a step 3-4 times before moving on) so repeated viewings help, but nothing is better than doing the steps in the workout itself.
I love Jennifer Galardi's workouts, her choreography and personality. And am I the only one who thinks she looks just like Jennifer Aniston?? lol Her cuing and form are great as always and she has just the right amount of pep. And I love her process of starting off a move and then building on it so you can perfect the base move and then add arms and styling.
This is a great DVD if you are looking for a little more of a challenge in your dance workouts (those of you who use the 10 Minute Solution DVDs know what I mean), the time goes by rather quickly and she does incorporate some great, fun and sexy dance moves. Go Jennifer!
Movie Review: Great Hip-Hop Aerobic DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this DVD! You can learn the more difficult steps ahead of time by using the instructional portion of the DVD. Then you learn 3 different styles of hip-hop for the aerobic part. The whole DVD is a lot of fun and you forget that you are exercising because you're just having a great time!!! This DVD is for beginners and intermediates. Advanced exercisers may need a little more.Movie Review: My favorite of all of the Dance Off the Inches workouts!
Summary: 4 Stars
DOTI Hip Hop Party, led by Jennifer Galardi, is a party in a box! Very fun hip hop moves...time just flew by! The workout runs 41 minutes with warmup and cooldown.
Unlike the previous DOTI's (which have pretty simple choreography), with this one you might want to actually view the step guide before jumping in...there are several moves that Jennifer says she covered in the step guide, she just starts the move in the workout with very little instruction and I was lost a couple of times!
The music in this DOTI is Much Better than the music in the other ones...it very much matched the routine. Hip Hop Party is also more intense than any of the other DOTI's...and more fun as well!
The only reason I didn't give this one 5 stars is that it's quite difficult to do on carpet. Lots of twisting movement that can torque your knees if you're doing this one on a carpeted surface. I had to modify LOTS to make this workout work on my living room carpet.
Highly recommended to intermediates with dance experience AND a non-carpeted surface to work out on!
Movie Review: Finally!
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally! I have finally found a workout that i wouldn't be embarrassed if my husband caught me doing it. The moves make you feel like your in a music video, and the music stays stuck in my head all day. I really loved the incorporated different parts of the world into the dancing the most. It had a very sexy and modern feel. I have many many dvd's which will soon be collecting dust for a while. Jennifer has become my fav instructor. She does such a thorough job leading you into the next steps verbally so you don't have to rely visually to keep up. This way you can really get into it! Since purchasing this dvd, i have ordered all of Jennifer's dvd's. I am a huge advocate of dvd workouts. My friends always take my word on dvd workouts, since i have lost 60 lbs in one year without going to the gym once. Thank you Jennifer for making such a fun workout!
