Time graph for Dance Off the Inches Hip-Hop Party

A fun little fat-burner with three distinct hip hop styles: old school, sexy-smooth and world-beat. Poppin’ and dippin’ … shakin’ and jumpin’ — you’re burning calories as you work your midsection. The entire program has a party atmosphere — these girls are definitely having fun. Jennifer Galardi begins with hip hop classics like “butterfly” and “throw down.” Then it’s a sassy series of hip rolls, “slithers” and “catwalks.” You’ll end with a high-energy blend of Latin and Bollywood style moves. Jennifer’s straight-forward instruction includes some great visual cues (e.g. “move like spaghetti”). DVD has a 15-minute hip hop dance tutorial. All instrumental music (no vocals). ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Dance Off the Inches Hip-Hop Party

Great and Fun Workout
I bought this video on a whim. I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser (I workout 7 days a week for at least an hour) and I have to say this video did make me break a sweat. However, it is very do-able for a beginner as well. It was extremely fun once you let yourself get into it, which in turn makes it seem as though are you not even working out. I would recommend this video to all levels of exercisers, expecially on the days when you just want to have fun but still want to sweat doing it!! A+ exercise video.. - posted by PJ on 10/17/2008
Fun & Challenging!
This workout is the complete package - fun but without sacrificing your workout. I would consider myself to be at the intermediate exerciser and this one got my heartbeat up there, kept it up, and I was never bored! The dances are fun and the instructor is great. - posted by Jennifer on 8/22/2008
Fun, Fun, Fun
I'm an intermediate to advanced exerciser and I never coincide with the reviews. I always get a good workout when there are negative reviews. I guess it's what you put into the workout. This workout was not an exception! I got a great workout in a short amount of time. Plus it was so much fun. I love the sexy/sassy dance. This dvd is a great buy. - posted by Lisa on 7/25/2008
Mixed feelings. It's a must have and a toughy.
The choreography is beautiful. So sexy, the moves are. I just wouldn't say it is for a beginner/intermediate. This workout should say it's for intermediate/advanced. Myself, I consider to be a beginner. Even though I'm used to doing the firm videos, twice I've tried this workout and it packs a punch. I broke a sweat big time and still was unable to get through the entire workout. That said...I loved it anyway. It is so challenging that it exhausts me, but sooo sexy that it makes me want to keep trying in the hopes that I too will move like that one day, with practice...absolutely. The moves are tricky if you ask me. So I recommend this for anyone wanting to get down some great new sexy moves.....but if you are truly a beginner, you may have to work up to a higher level to appreciate this one. - posted by Dawn on 7/20/2008
Fantastic Workout!
This was my first DOTI dvd, and it definitely did not disappoint! The three routines are high energy and a lot of fun to dance to! Jennifer Galardi is a great instructor, lots of energy but not sickeningly so. I love everything about this dvd - I have absolutely no dance experience and was able to pick this up really quickly. Definitely a keeper and I would recommend it to everyone who wants to do a workout that is so fun, it doesn't even seem like work! - posted by Blayne on 6/28/2008
Makes to you feel good about yourself and fun.
I’m a beginner/intermediate and my goal is to lose 40 to 50 pounds. This is my favorite exercise video, and I just purchased it today. The instructor is good with her cues and makes the workout fun. I like how she keeps the same pace even when she breaks down the dance steps. I can’t dance and learning dance steps are a challenge for me. I did pretty well for following the workout for the first time and the moves aren’t as challenging as I thought they might be. I love that at the end it feels as if you weren’t exercising, but just learning a dance routine. It’s just fun and definitely a stress reliever. It puts me in a good mood and it’s a motivation in itself. - posted by Jen on 6/18/2008
Makes You Strut, Sweat & Smile
This is my second Jennifer Galardi work-out, and she has become one of my favorite video instructors despite the fact that I have two left feet. Her work-outs are just plain fun, and I sweat w/o feeling too, too challenged. It's a good intermediate work-out. - posted by Julie on 3/17/2008
Jennifer Does it Again
I was fooled by the first few minutes of this video, I thought it would not get my heart rate up very much. Wrong! It takes awhile to learn the steps, Jennifer refers to the Step Guide more often than the other videos in the DOTI series, and I admit, I always skip the Step Guide. If you really put yourself into the routine you will get a great workout, I was sweating by the second dance! There is the Old School section, the Smooth Section and the World Section, my favorites were the Smooth (very sexy), and the World (surprise heartrate booster at the end of the video). Jennifer has done another great video, I own all of her videos and could have an entire rotation with just her as an instructor. Keep them coming, Jenn! - posted by Cat on 3/17/2008
I am sweating!!
First of all, I am seriously physically challenged when it comes to learning dance moves and I stay away from complex steps at all cost. SO Jennifer's step-guide that teaches all the moves first saved my life and made this workout REALLY enjoyable. I am just starting out (about 15 pounds to lose) and it was about right for me in terms of exertion. The level of intensity, however, is up to you---I kept the hopping and dipping to a minimum, and it is going to take me more than one run-thru to figure out the arms, so it was okay for me as a beginner. There is room for improvisation, and she stresses that the workout is for having FUN as well as getting into shape. So I see myself using this now AND as I progress. I wish there were more DVDs like this. - posted by Amy on 2/21/2008
Very fun and a good workout
I have one of Jennifer's other work-outs and both are a blast. This, if anything, is even more fun than the last and not too hard to follow and you definitely get your heart rate up more than a few times. - posted by Julie on 2/15/2008

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
