Dance a GoGo : Sexy Nightclub Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have bought so many workout DVDs, and this is by far THE BEST I have ever bought because it has EVERYTHING a workout video needs. It has step-by-step instructions for each of the workouts. The dance music is hip and great. The dances are sexy and fun. In addition, the workouts here require you to move ALL OF YOUR BODY and keep your heart rate at the target zone AT ALL TIME!! You can tell that they actually spent a lot of time choreographing the dances and making this DVD. Everything is done by the very professionals instead of just some sexy/party girls dancing together in a basement. I am sure that many of you who have bought many workout videos will know what I am talking about. Most of the weight loss workouts are not fun or sexy, and most of the sexy workouts won't speed up your heart rate enough to lose weight. If you want a dance workout DVD with everything: that is fun, hip, and sexy; has nice music; teaches you how to dance; and helps you lose weight; this is the number one DVD that I will recommend. I think Andrea needs to put out more dance/workout DVDs.

Dancer's Body Workout With Patricial Moreno Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to agree with "YogaGirl" about the music, but it's all a matter of taste! I find the music so awful that, I too, quit the workout. I only got 15 minutes into it. I love to dance but the music has to inspire me. If I want to move my hips, I think I'd do better to put on a Prince or James Brown CD and forgo any instruction!
I thought, from the description on the DVD box, that this was more of a ballet-type workout, so I was dissapointed.
Anyway, if you feel you need instruction in simple jazz dance, want a workout and aren't picky about your music (or like "Broadway style jazz", you'll probably like it. Obviously, other reviewers do.
I doubt I'll ever use it again, and even tho' I didn't pay much for it, I feel like I've wasted my money.
I wanted to write this review, because I've bought various workout DVDs based on reviews, and I've come to see that it's SO VERY MUCH a matter of taste. One person's fave workout could be another person's nightmare, and it isn't neccessarily because of it's merits as a workout.

Bollyrobics Dance Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This DVD comes in several languages: English, Hindu, Spanish, French, Japanese & music only (same beat for all menu choices).
It has 3 different dances, Maahi Ve, Chaiyya Chaiyya. Each section is 30-35 min each w/a warm-up, step by step, the 3 min dance performance itself & a cool down. The warm-ups & cool downs are all the same for all 3 dances.
From their website:
Songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Bombay Dreams" and the Bollywood film "Kal Ho Naa Ho" (Indian Love Story -- Tomorrow May Never Come) featuring Shahrukh Khan provide the music to 3 dances, each with an increasing level of difficulty and unique style which varies from playful and sensual to dynamic and powerful.
The woman on the dvd, Julia Casper, is the one dancing. At the dance portion, it's just her 3x with computer graphics.
Warm-up - uses basic dancing you will use to get you into it before the step by step portion.
Step by step - shows you the moves, she does break it down, such as only showing the veil first, then the veil & feet & then finally adding the hands. She even does it at a slower pace for faster moves before going normal speed. Each move is done at least 4x if not many more times. She gives great body movement cues, not just counts in 8s.
Cool down - is nice, added head rolls like the warm up, but also adds some standing fwd bends, lunges to really stretch.
I enjoyed Julia's presence, the breakdown was easy to follow & I felt more aware of my body to move better. I don't like this style of dancing as much as Latin or belly dancing or even hip hop, but there were a few moves I thought were great. Julia's style actually encouraged me to get into it more then I would have.
I took off 1 star because of lack of music during the step by step which made it drag on & boring (music only option will come in handy if replay it at later date). Though practice repetition is great & needed for any dance instruction, with the slower down & breakdown, there did not need to be so much, especially on moves that would not get the heart rate up. If these were aerobic moves, that would be great as exercise, but most were easy & required little physical effort.
After completing the step by step once, I will only replay the dance portions only for aerobic workout. I would love for Julia & production to put out more dances of different styles with my suggestions in the future.
Their site is bollyrobics com & all 3 dances are on youtube in all the languages.

HIP HOP ABS DANCE PARTY - Rockin' Abs & Hard Body Workouts - Includes 5 Minute Ab Blaster - Shaun T (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok,
So I loved these workouts since I've gotten them. I had the first Hip Hop Abs series you see on television. The deal for those was just so sweet and I figured why not try it. :)
I loved that first series!! So I was super hopeful for this one.
When you first start working out and stuff with the videos, unless you've taken dance classes, you may feel like a bit of a doof trying to do these pretty cool moves, but eventually (like 2 workouts) you'll feel good and can do them fine. You totally feel like you're there and Shaun T is just super funny.
Ok. ok.. so about this workout.
The First workout I did was Rockin' Abs. Let me tell you the difference between the first set of DVDs and the Dance Party series is significant. The moves are almost all new and it starts out fast. If you have the foundation of the first videos you'll be fine though. The music is really good too. I didn't recognize any of the songs from the radio, but I enjoyed them.
The workout itself is challenging. You do some floor work, but one of the hardest exercises was when you do a push up and at the same time you extend your leg out to the side and you do it on tempo (those who do these DVDs know what that means). For those who don't want to do that move, like me on the first try, Tonya does a simplified move for us.
The workout is great and you can totally feel the ab workout. The floor routine isn't that hard, but you do get a nice stretch. All and all a great workout.
Then there's the Hardbody workout. It's 100% delicious!
Great music, great moves, high energy and you'll be smiling through most of it, while you're able to learn new moves. I loved this workout!!! It worked out the upper body and the lower body, but I'd say it's more of an upper body (arms and abs than lower body). You totally get your cardio in and you will probably sweat.
I really, really loved this video a lot. Like the other video (don't think I mentioned it) but you can use your weighted gloves or the weights. I'd wait to use both until you know the moves (if you think that's not heavy enough.
Hope this helped!

Veena and Neena: Bollywood Blast - The Ultimate Bollywood Dance Workout Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Veena and Neena have done a lot of workout videos and it's always great to see the twins together. At 1st glance, I thought the twins were working together on Bollywood Blast but was surprised that Veena was leading the workout with 2 other dancers. Veena did say that Neena helped to design the moves. That disc lasted for about 26 minutes. Indi-Hop is also included (which I already have) and lasts for about 34 minutes (including instruction time).
I prefer Indi-Hop because it includes 3 dance routines with different levels of intensity. Bollywood Blast is great for the obliques with the different twists and leg lifts. I did have to add another workout since this one is so short. Doing the 2 discs together would give you more of a complete workout and plenty of yoga stretches.

Steffanie Lyons' Ultimate Band Workout with two Resistance Bands and Gloves Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a flexible person, but this looked like a good way into resistance band workout.
It uses gentle, flowing moves and I was able to go at my own pace, varying the resistance by moving my hands on the band. I definitely was stretching and using muscles that I ordinarily don't. And after only a few sessions am noticing improvement in flexibility. I am not as tight as I was before.
The video looks very gentle, but I find myself winded by the end.
I'd recommend this for any beginner. Just remember to keep a towel under your head or rear end as you do.

Kathy Smith's Latin Rhythm Workout (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To begin with, in order to be happy with your workout video purchase it is good to know what it is and what it is not. This is a 40 minute LOW IMPACT work-out that is broken into two 20 minute segments to be done together or on their own. What you will be doing is essentially dancing to infectious latin music and having 40 minutes of fun. If you are like me, good music makes working out easy. Have you ever run on the treadmill listening to the radio and suddenly started working out faster and better when your favorite song came on? Well, this work out is a great choice if you love latin music and you love dancing.
I bought it in order to have a fun alternative cardio routine and I'm very happy with it. I cannot say this is the most intense cardio workout on the planet - but it does not have to be. Even for advanced exercisers, there are days when you just cant force yourself to perform to super-human limits and this is a great work-out for that day. For beginners, this is a FUN work-out and you will work up a pretty good sweat just following the moves. To get an idea of how intense the workout is, just imagine dancing non-stop in a club for 40 minutes.
The steps are easy to follow for beginners - although if you find it hard to follow dance moves or hate dancing all together please don't bother picking this video up and then critisizing it. Similarly, if you are an advanced salsa dancer and impress the crowds with your dance moves at clubs, this work-out will be boring for you - unless of course you do your own thing to the music.
This work-out is ideal for beginners who need something simple to get them started, for kids, for people of all fitness levels who just want to have fun dancing. This is NOT a workout for strength and muscle building - you should have a separate routine for that to alternate with this one for good overall fitness. You will learn the basic steps to the cha cha, the merengue and the samba and you do not need any equipment except for a moderate area to dance in.
The setting is in a club with a live band and no-one is even wearing tradional work-out clothes. Kathy is fun and motivational as usual and having lots of fun! I did not think her cueing was bad and she did not struggle with the moves in my opinion. She was not trying to teach an advanced latin dance class - she was just leading an exercise class with simple dance moves for fun and she did that VERY well. A member of the cast was a more advanced dancer and often demonstrated more advanced moves to the dance. But overall, no-one should buy this tape in hopes of learning to become a professional dancer - take it for what is is - a simple cardio work-out with basic moves to latin rhythms and you should be very happy.

Lisa Rinna: Dance Body Beautiful: Jive, Jump, Ballroom Bump (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After a rocky start this is now my favorite cardio video and I have tried too many to count. Please don't feel discouraged by the jive in the first segment. That is by far the trickiest to get down but not impossible. The choreography is AMAZING. The steps SEEM simple but they make you feel like a professional dancer. I love that they are challenging but that the steps repeat in a pattern so a regular person can follow along. I did the video twice before adding my own music with the video on mute. This makes the video SO great and different than others - the steps stay the same but the music can change as often as you like. This difference is key. I can't dance to music that is boring so being able to have simple steps that repeat is really a revelation to me. I also appreciate that there are not too many traveling steps...for those of us that live in small apartments. Lisa won me over with her personality that is so warm and friendly. There is a great group of pro dancers who put there own spin on the steps. I did this video with my teenage niece and she loved it too (we both were chanting "single, single, double on the same side" Thanks for making these great workouts. I am a convert and can't wait until more come out!!!

Tracy Anderson Beginner Dance Cardio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is truly a fantastic video if you are not a dancer but want to try the infamous Tracy Anderson Method. It is NOT a low-impact video at all but Tracy does mention that you can move at a pace/ability more suited to you. This will not be for everyone but if you are serious about getting a long, lean, tight body you can't go wrong here. I like this video in particular because the moves are simple and a little more athletic-like. Tracy Anderson's first Dance Cardio DVD was so intimidating that I couldn't get past the first routine. Also, many instructors are presented in this video and they all teach some sort of choreography so if you don't like one instructor or dance then you can always skip ahead to a different routine. Definitely a great buy.

Jamie King- Rock Your Body Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this DVD after reading that it was Shape magazine's DVD of the month, and I just finished my second time doing it. Overall, it's a great workout that is a lot of fun!
Jamie King leads the workout, and he is accompanied by four back-up dancers. Jaime has a lot of energy, and makes the workout fly by, which is always nice. The workout is broken down into six main sections: a warm-up, rehearsal 1, rehearsal 2, dress rehearsal (where you put the two sections together slowly), the performance (where you put the two sections together more quickly in front of an "audience"), and a cool down.
In each of the two rehearsal sections, Jamie breaks down the choreography and makes it very esay to follow. If you can't get a move, though, a great feature of the DVD is that in several places you can click on a sub-menu and go to the bonus section where Jamie breaks down the move even more slowly.
One of the things that makes this workout so unique is that the workout is done on a stage with a DJ playing music. During the dress rehearsal and performance sections, the dancers and Jamie also change into "costumes" and even do the routine in front of a live audience. It really feels like you're a rock star while doing these sections of the workout!
The DVD also has a bonus strength section and a section where Jamie breaks down the moves in more detail. The first time I did this workout, I couldn't quite keep up with the nuances of the moves, but I can see progress and I can also see that I won't be bored with this DVD in the future.
The last thing I wanted to say is that I was pleasantly surprised about how this workout got my heart rate up. It's true that there are much harder cardio dance workouts out there, but I was definitely breaking a sweat -- and having fun while doing it! Overall, it's a fun, very unique workout!

Bellydance Fitness for Weight Loss featuring Rania (Cardio Shimmy/Bellydance Boogie/Hip Drop Hip Hop/Pure Sweat) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set before I read the reviews here. I am a personal trainer/fitness instructor, and I thought these workouts were well written, well-produced, and well executed. One of the most difficult things to do as an instructor is break down a new dance style without stopping the workout. Rania did an amazing job of starting techniques slowly, repeating them, layering them, then speeding them up to tempo. After watching the performances at the end, I realised why she left the more strenuous or potentially dangerous moves out of the fitness programs. I was really impressed with the whole set.
When I read through the reviews I noticed that most of the negative reviews came from people proclaiming to be belly dancers. I was a jazz dancer before becoming a fitness professional. There is a big difference between teaching dance for fitness than for teaching dance as an art form. When teaching for fitness, you have to use only the moves that are effective in terms of fitness, safe, and ones that target a range of muscles groups for a well-rounded workout. If you are expecting to learn to really dance, buy a dance instruction tape. If you want to work out safely and effectively using bellydance moves, this set is first class. Congratulations to Rania.

Mtv / Grind Workout: Fat Burning Grooves (1997) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this video for 2 weeks now and have lost about 4 lbs.as a result (2 lbs a week- not bad!) I wanted a video program that was fun, upbeat and interesting enough to get me committed. MTV Grind Workout-Fat Burning Grooves was just the thing. The instructors make sure that you understand the steps. The music is great and Eric Nies is gorgeous! Best of all, the instructors look as though they are having a great time. Working out shouldn't seem like work--it should be fun--which is exactly what this video is all about!

Hemalayaa: Bollywood Burn (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just did this workout and I must say that I sweated bullets. You can see a trailer at the acaciacatalog web site.
Setting: Theatre stage with teacher and two dancers, 1 woman and 1 guy. This time the backup dancers are quite good and look like they are enjoying the choreography.
workout: the dvd is divided into 3 workouts, each with its own warm-up, learn the steps, routine and cool down. The cool down is brief for segments 1 &2 in the event you want to do segment 3. The steps are easy and fun. BE WARNED, MANY OF THE STEPS ARE HIGH IMPACT. I have bad knees and I had to modify the criss cross jumping jacks, half jacks, hop turns and jumps. No modifications are shown on the video. However, I am aerobically out of shape and I still got my heart rate up doing low impact.
Music: This is bhangra hip hop music. The music is different for each segment. The teacher is in voice over and she is much louder than the music. There is a music only option and when you hear it without her talking, it is quite good and rhythmic.
Overall: A good workout that is edited and choreographed much better than her bollywood workout dvd. There is also a free dance special feature with the 3 dancers clowning around. Next time I do this, I will use the music only option as it is pretty easy to visually follow. the production quality is very good and the steps are in beat with the music. The camera loves Hemalayaa and she and her dancers are a joy to watch,
