"Dance off the inches: dance it off ballroom" with Kristina Milova seemed a little hard at first, but for me just watching it and trying to do it seemed easier than being patient through the step guide. After about three good rounds of watching and trying to perform it at the same time---I finally got it. By the end---if you really get into it and move around---you can really work up a sweat!! The only part I still have trouble with is the bota fogo during the samba dance. I guess I have two left feet!! But the cha-cha is fun, and the jive is a blast!!!

Kristina has a very sweet voice, good timing and good choice of words when instructing. The backup dancers can dance well, unlike other backup dancers in other workouts.
Step Guide 17 min - Kristina alone w/no music shows you how the moves look, first the lower body, then the upper body, slow then fast. Some moves she goes quick, others she really breaks down, though she goes from 1/4 speed straight to tempo which can be frustrating for those who've never danced or never tried dance dvds before.
Workout w/chapters 42 min - Unlike most Dance Off The Inches workouts, this has neither watered-down moves nor is it slow-paced for those who rarely workout. The dance moves are almost all very fast paced so it will take fast footwork & endurance. When Kristina adds a new move to the routine, she will break it down to ease into it.
If you only want to do part of the dvd workout, the first 2 chapters of warm-up & cha-cha moves are built up into a 15 min routine, the samba & jive chapters dance moves are put into a 22 min routine, and the cool down's 5 min. slow-paced moves are different so they can be used w/either.
Some of the dance moves are: volta, botafogo, lock step, side/front cuban, pas de bourree, kick ball change, heel toe heel, several triple steps, turns w/hip circles, etc.
This dvd is best for those who already own a few dance dvds, natural dancer, or taking classes, as well as those who can handle fast-paced aerobics.

This review is from: Dance off the Inches: Dance It off Ballroom (DVD)

Dance off the Inches: Dance it off Ballroom's strongest point is that it makes you want to do it! Since I had already exercised for 30 minutes before popping in this DVD, I was so pooped I could hardly dance by the end but the desire to keep going was still there. The moves themselves impressed me. Some of the sample clips on this website for other Dance off the Inches videos tell me that the choreography is especially well done in Dance it off Ballroom. I am in a dance troupe and would generally not use "workout video moves" onstage, but will surely be taking some from this one. I liked the instruction of Kristina Milova as well, and caught on best by doing the actual workout, though the Step Guide definitely helped.
