Certified instructor description: An easy-to-follow fat-burner with lots of heart-rate-raising arm motions. The emphasis is on having fun and enjoying the movement, not mastering the latest club steps. There are three dance styles: jazz funk, early hip hop and “90’s jam” (no Latin!). They’re all taught add-on style — you’ll learn a move at half-tempo, then add some variations and speed it up. The jazz funk includes whimsical routines like “pony tail” and “snatch and grab.” The hip hop section is a little slower with bigger, more powerful combos. “90’s jam” features lots of attitude and classics like “Robocop” and “Roger Rabbit.” You’ll end with a “showtime” segment where you put it all together. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option, Region 1.

Prevention: Drop It with Dance

Surprisingly challenging
Not what I expected - and I'm glad! The dances are fun and challenging. I will master the moves....after a few more times. Great workout. I love to mix it up! - posted by Laura on 3/22/2012
Really Fun
I wasn't sure about this DVD given some of the reviews. But, Tabitha is a great instructor with clear cueing and keeps it fun. I liked that it was longer than many dance videos and kept my heart rate up the entire time. I did have trouble with a couple of sequences, but I figure I'll pick them up on them with practice. I like the way she breaks it down, but then you get to practice all put together several times so you really move and sweat. You are encouraged to add your own style and not worry if you mess up - just keep moving and have fun, which I did! - posted by Jodi on 5/2/2011
Fantastic, Professional, and FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I own at least 200 workout DVD's with dance being my favorite. However, this particular dance DVD I find to be exceptional. It really has all of the qualities I prefer in a dance DVD. I really like that it breaks down each of the dances in an easy to follow way while at the same time I am able to keep my heartrate up the whole time. The moves are innovative, very fun, stylish, and doable. The instructor is fantastic--great cueing, not annoying, but definitely fun. The routines are very well structured, like all Prevention DVD's, which are of BIG importance to me. And finally, I can get a good cardio in for a FULL 45 minutes, which is the most important thing. I would recommend this to anyone, and I regularly come back to this DVD because it is so well done. Especially, if I don't FEEL like working out that day, I remember this DVD and am glad to do it ANY day. It's that fun! I would LOVE to see more DVD's put out as top quality as this one. There really are very few on the market. Oh and I should note that Tabitha, the instructor, has also been a judge on So You Think You Can Dance on TV. I have done their DVD's also, but I do prefer this one to their DVD's because the actual dance time with Prevention is much longer and consistent. This DVD I know I am getting a long workout without having to stop and wait for any slow instruction. I only wish I owned 20 dance DVD's like this one. Please, do another one just like this! Great job Tabitha and Prevention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - posted by Merili In Alaska on 2/24/2010
Love it!
This is the kind of fun dance workout that it takes to make me get out of bed and exercise in the morning. I am so not a morning person. It took me awhile to master the steps but now that I have, I do the warm-up, Showtime 3 X, then the cooldown and it has me sweating and feeling great. - posted by Glenda on 2/27/2009
Liked this workout
I really enjoyed this workout. The choreography was not too tricky, but was interesting enough to grow with. The "showtime" segment is fun when you've really learned the steps. I enjoy doing this workout with my daughter. Also, the segments can be done separately if you don't have time, just like with the other Prevention workouts. I wanted to post this, because I saw a lot of negative comments. I really think that it's a matter of taste. This workout was really fun for me. - posted by Carole on 1/1/2009
Follow up
I just wrote a review saying that this dvd was awful (and I stand by that), but I wanted to say something positive and that's that I really like the instructor Tabitha. She has a great on-camera presence, and I think she's be fun on a better workout. I just watched the clip again, and realized that she's a judge on So You Think You Can Dance. I hope she comes out with another dvd soon...she's great (but not enough for me to encourage anyone to buy this dvd) - posted by GymRatt on 9/20/2008
Simply Awful
This has got to be one of the worst videos I've ever gotten. It's not just boring - it's bad. The thing is, I really gave it a shot, but as the segments progressed, I just started to get mad because the entire routine seems haphazard and made up as they're going along. If you're looking for some fun dance cardio, do yourself a favor and skip this dvd. There's nothing fun, dance, or cardio about it. Prevention should be slapped on the wrists for releasing this dud. - posted by GymRatt on 9/20/2008
Not my favorite
This one was a disappointment. I have several other Prevention Dvd's and they are good. This one is boring and one I will not use again!!!!!!!!!! - posted by Linda on 8/30/2008
Not really a workout but fun
I thought that this dvd would give me 40 minutes of a real workout but instead it's 30 minutes of learning and only 10 minutes of dancing. It was fun and challenging to learn the moves but the learning segments are too slow to really work up a sweat. I like to stick the 10 minute show time dance at the end of some of my other workouts...but if you're looking for a complete workout routine this is definitely not it! - posted by T on 6/3/2008
fun and a first for me!
I am an intermediate exerciser that usually likes very solid athletic type of workouts. However I was finding that I needed something low impact also and get tired of yoga (I hate the mind body connection because of relgious convictions). This fit the bill. I have two left feet so am not good with complex choreography. This isn't overly complex however if you are not coordinated like me then you will have to rewind it several times before you really get it. It took me a few times, but once I did I was suprised that after doing two of the 10 min. dance routines I actually was dripping with sweat! There is a 10 min hip hop routine and the moves are very big with lunges and such and WOW! This workout you will suprisingly feel in your legs the next day. Her cueing is pretty good also. Get this one if you want someting low impact, good cardio (I get tired of aerobics with weights all the time), and a different change of pace. - posted by denise persichino on 5/23/2008

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
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.
