 50/50 chance you'll like it August 18, 2010

I did not really like this video very much. I do like Jennifer Galardi and think she is a good dancer. I have done one of her videos ON Demand on Comcast, which I enjoyed, and I also like her DVD "[[ASIN:B002TW7K50 Ballet Body] but I felt that the steps went too fast for me and I have no Hip Hop dance experience. However, if you have some, you may find this more fun. It looked like fun but i felt it required more skill and coordination than I have and I didn't make it all the way through, or feel like I enjoyed what I did do enough to try it again one day. Luckily, I checked it out from the library. But you might enjoy it. It's hard to say but maybe, f you have no experience with hip hop and aren't truly interested in getting some moves down to take to the club, pass it by. If you're interested in learning for real and can be patient with yourself or have some hip hop experience, you may really like it.

Bought this video in a store - looked like so much fun, said it's for beginners - N O T. The cover made it sound like I could learn to dance and get fit at the same time, but the instructions seemed to be more for people who already had some moves. I've given the video several attempts, knowing that picking up anything new is a challenge, yet I can't seem to make this work for me. I know I'm not the most graceful person, but I was a cheerleader for several years so I'm not completely uncoordinated. It's going back on the shelf... maybe one day I'll give it another shot.
This is slightly slower than normal hip hop dance, but it is still a great workout! July 26, 2010

Dance Off the Inches: Hip Hop Party is a little slow compared to other hip hop workouts, but it still is extremely cardio and a lot of fun to do. Jennifer Galardi leads, and she has a really fun personality and teaching style. The workout is divided into three totally different hip hop styles that are each fun to do in their own way. The sections on the DVD are:
Warm Up - Jennifer starts out with a funky style march before going to some chest and hip isolations in this warm up. Then she'll finish up with one or two more easy dance moves. It's all very basic, but it's still effective.
Basic Hip Hop - This routine is a lot of fun, consisting of some funky dance moves that are pretty easy to pull off and really fun to do. It consists of easy moves such as slides, marches, stomps, and butterflies, but Jennifer adds upper body style to make it more cardio and more funky. It was definitely, my favorite of all the routines.
Sexy Smooth - Now this routine seemed to be a mixture of Jazz, Striptease, and Arabian dancing. It didn't move too much over the floor, but it still managed to get your heart rate up. There are a lot of moves in this dance that involve the hips, but there were also a few body roll moves, kick ball change moves, and more. It definitely had a sensual feel to it which is a bit different from normal hip hop workouts.
World - Last was this routine that fused hip hop with Latin and Bollywood dance moves. It was a lot of fun as it contained lunges, box steps, chest pumps, and more with some very fun arms that made it all the more fun to do. This was definitely the highest impact of the three workouts, and it was a really nice fusion of dance. NOTE: This is the same routine as the Cardio Dance download that is available here on Amazon, on exerciseTV, and on Jennifer Galardi's website.
Cool Down - The cool down was also amazing. It had so many feel good stretches that stretched out the entire body. It was a great way to finish the workout.
Step Guide - Also included on the DVD is a step guide that breaks down some of the moves slowly in order to allow you to learn them slowly and use them in the workout. This makes it a great DVD for beginner exercisers/dancers while the intermediate/advanced dancers/exercisers may just want to jump right into the workout. NOTE: The step guide is not included in the downloaded version of this DVD available here on Amazon Video on Demand.
Overall, this was an amazing workout although it went slower than normal hip hop workouts. The three sections were all fun yet different enough to keep the interest of the viewer. I would highly recommend it to all levels of exercisers and hip hop dancers. It truly is a blast to do!

Love the video. It's hard though! So if you are looking for an easy work out this is probably not for you.
I love the moves. Working on mastering them...
Good for beginners July 13, 2010

The video shows simple techniques to start with, it is really helpful for a beginner that doesn't have experience in hip hop. It is fun and energectic. The best part of the video is I could keep repeating the chapter to get myself familiar with the beat and the move. I really enjoy the video and recommend to those people who doesn't know how to dance.
