Prevention: Drop It with Dance |
  Fun workout! |
| This is a fun workout and I find it being one I do often when I want something that is a good workout without being overly demanding. I agree with some of the previous posts that some of the moves seem pointless but I think the music is pretty good on this one. Once you learn the moves, if you skip the individual sections (because they use up a lot of time explaining each step and putting them together) and just do the Showtime section over and over, it is a good workout. - posted by Heather on 5/9/2008 |

| My first dance video! |
| I have always been leery of trying a dance video (some can look cheesy and seem ridiculous), but I decided to give this one a try and I'm glad I did! I liked the challenge and as my exercise motto goes "your workout is only as effective as what you put into it"! In other words, really use your core and hit the moves.. you'll be sweating in no time! Also, the people weren't intimidating (always a plus). - posted by Kristen on 4/21/2008 |

| Awful |
| I agree with earlier reviews...this video is VERY boring. Part of the problem is the music, since you can barely hear it, and then the moves are kind of 'blah'. I suffered through 3 segments, and between the boredom and the fact that I wasn't even sort of sweating, I had to give up. Save your money. there are better dance videos. On a positive note, I liked the instructor (but not enough to ever try this video again.) - posted by GR on 4/10/2008 |

| Don't give up! |
| The first time I did this workout, I was really intimidated by trying to learn all the moves and was discouraged afterwards; the second time I did it, I decided to just try to move and do something close to what they were doing and with that attitude, it was really fun. The music is better than most. - posted by Sheryl on 3/12/2008 |

| Snoozer! |
| Everyone else seems to like this video but I found it a real snoozer. I was not especially fond of the instructor or the moves she pieced together--the routines had a lot of so-so moves in them. I like the two other dance videos by Prevention much better--one is led by Jennifer Gilardi and one is led by Gloria Forneo. Get one of these instead; get the Prevention video led by Gloria if you want only one. - posted by RobinK on 2/13/2008 |

| Love this workout!! |
| This workout is fun, easy to follow, and you work up a good sweat. The music is the best I've heard in a dance video. The music for the cooldown is really nice. I especially like the 90's Jam workout with the Robocop move. The 10 minute Showtime segment where all the moves are combined without instruction was a great idea. Sometimes I'll just do that part of the workout--over and over. I also like that subtitles are used to let you know which move is next. That helps with cueing problems. I have a collection of Prevention workout DVDs, and this one has just moved to the top of the list as my favorite. I just wish that Austen had been in this one. I hope Tabitha D'Umo gets to do more dance workouts for Prevention. - posted by Mary on 1/17/2008 |

| Fun, Fun, Fun!!!! |
| I am also not a trained dancer and I do admit that the moves may be confusing the first couple of times through but once you get them down, this workout is SO much fun. It works up a decent sweat and time flies! Do not worry about how you look, you're not on Dancing with the Stars. Just relax and have some fun. - posted by Tracy, Baltimore on 1/14/2008 |

| GREAT |
| I thought that this was a hard workout. I LOVED IT! I especially liked the "showtime" at the end. Many dance videos give you the basics and never give you a total run through of all the dance moves when you have done the video so many times you want to just dance! This was a great idea. I did have to do certain sections over and over until I got the moves down. But, that was okay because I was already sweating and I received more of a workout. Good job PREVENTION!! - posted by Randi on 1/12/2008 |

| A Good Dance Workout |
| When I first received this dvd I was like oh no I can't do that because I have a difficult time picking up complex choreography. However, I did this dvd last night and I must say I enjoyed it. While there were a couple of moves which I didn't master, I still felt like I got a good workout. Boy am I sore. In my opinion I prefer this dance routine to the one led by Jennifer Galardi(another prevention fitness dvd). I would definietly buy this one. If you don't like it, you can always send it back. - posted by Marie on 1/11/2008 |

| Difficult for a Non-Dancer |
| I never took any sort of dance growing up, and I found this very difficult to follow. I spent a lot of time just standing there in the middle of a routine because I forgot how the step should go or I just couldn't keep up. - posted by Shira on 1/9/2008 |
