Dancing it off...
"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!!!

This DVD will motivate you
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.

dancing experience is helpful
I took dancing for around 14 years (8-22), so I was able to pick up on the footwork fairly quickly (just think: step, ball, change), and I am somewhat used to swiveling my hips. It was still challenging for me and fun to learn the routines. I think it may be hard for people without any dance experience whatsoever. I did not watch the 10 minute tutorial that breaks down each move--I was able to pick it up just in the routine. This is a fun break from some of my weight intense workouts, and it does get my heart pumping. Plus, the girls in the back obviously aren't ballroom dancers, so I don't feel completely awkward with some of the moves I've never done.
