Dance Off the Inches: Fat Burning Jam (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Another workout from the Dance off the Inches series, this one is led by Michelle Dozois, who has appeared in quite a few workout videos over the years.She is joined by 4 other ladies, including Marie Forleo who has led Crunch Cardio Dance Blast and Prevention's Dance Yourself Thin.They are all in a cozy living room setting ready to groove.

One feature of this DVD is a step guide, which demonstrates many of the moves that make up the foundation of the workout.I was glad to find this in this and other Dance off the Inches workouts that I have tried.I am not the best when it comes to dance moves, so it's nice to have this littletutorial when I need it.Michelle will show you the move, slow at first then at tempo, plus she will show any additional variations that might be seen in the workout, any arm movements that go with it for example.

You start with a fun warmuup and move into the first of three dance routines called Shake Those Hips.Some of the steps seen here include single and double hip shakes, side taps, grapevines and circle walks.Then you will move into the next dance routine, Latin Spice.Here you will see the Spicy March, the slide, cross & bounce, mambo, cha chas (with a turn added), kickball change and shoulder shimmeys.

The final dance segment is Jazz it Up.This routine includes chasses, drags, narrow/wide march (out out in in), quick lunges, tap front/back, box step, side taps, double taps and hops.Then it's time to cooldown.

I thought Michelle did a nice job in this workout, she seems to be having fun here and interacts with her backgrounders throughout, asking them to show what kind of arms they like to do with a certain step, etc.I enjoyed her as an instructor.The moves aren't terribly hard to pick up but they are fun to do and once you get them down you can really get into it.The music is okay, didn't particularly stand out to me but I didn't dislike it either.Overall I give this one a solid 4 stars.I have a few workouts in this series and enjoy them all.They aren't terribly complex which is good for me, some other dance workouts that I have tried are just too hard to follow.Those like me who have 2 left feet, this would be a good choice.

Product Description:
"As your repertoire increases, so does the intensity." Health MagazineIt features a medley of fun, dance-inspired moves demonstrated in an unusually easy to follow format. Each pattern is taught at three tempos. You'll always begin a combo at the easiest-to-learn slower tempo and gracefully build up to the faster speeds. Then, you'll start over again with a new pattern at the slowest tempo (each choreography block only lasts a few minutes so it's never boring). Juliane Arney's combinations are exceptionally varied - a mix of familiar dance steps and free-flowing movements - from cha chas and mambos to "sassy taps" and "double twists." Very enthusiastic class and cuing. Bright, high-tech set. ©2005. (45 min.).
