Product Description:
JULIANNE WILL MOTIVATE YOU TO DANCE THE CHA CHA, JIVE AND PASO D OBLE WITH HER IN THIS FUN AND EFFECTIVE WORKOUT-NO PARTNER NEEDE D.
Amazon.com:
Dance with Julianne: Cardio Ballroom is an easy-to-follow, infectiously fun, and results-oriented workout that beginners and advanced dancers alike will enjoy and look forward to doing. Julianne Hough, the breakout star of Dancing with the Stars, is not just a fiery dancer, an appealing country singer, and an in-demand choreographer--she's also a very talented dance workout instructor.
Hough is perfectly charismatic on camera, and though her lean dancer body may at first seem intimidating, in fact, Hough's approach is so down-to-earth and inclusive that even true beginners will feel comfortable and right at home. The moves revolve around several key ballroom styles, including the cha-cha and the jive. All the moves are chosen, Hough says, for their ability to raise the heart rate and burn calories--but also because dance moves create "a lean, sleek body--not chunky or awkwardly shaped." (And if one can get even halfway toward Hough's own sleek physique, that's plenty of inspiration right there.) The steps are very easy to follow, and Hough keeps the routines simple, stepping up the intensity with optional hops, squats, and spins. "If you feel awkward," she says, especially to beginners, "then you're doing it right." Each subsequent time of doing the workout becomes more fun, as the viewer/exerciser feels more like part of Hough's "troupe."
The 55-minute workout includes good warm-ups and stretches, will get your heart rate up, and will also work key areas like the hips and waist, which can become stiff in a sedentary lifestyle. Extras include a step-by-step "lesson" from Hough so the viewer can truly understand specific moves, and a very engaging interview with Hough on why she chose this workout: "You can do this with friends, and laugh at the same time," Hough says. "You can't really laugh while lifting weights." --A.T. Hurley

This is a great dance workout, really gets you sweating. If you've never had and dance experience before I suspect it would be a little more challenging for you but stick with it and you will soon learn all the steps. I would definately recommend this DVD.

I just did this workout for the first time today. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but I was having so much fun that I didn't care. And my abs are killing me! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a really fun way to exercise at hom. You feel great doing it and even better afterwards.

I was skeptical about ordering this DVD, but it's great. The first time I just watched and kinda tapped my feet.. a little worried at first. The second time I actually caught up and by the third time it was fun, and I was a sweaty mess. Nice mixup in the usual cardio routine! Julianne is a little too perky sometimes, but there's always mute.

Before I bought this, I read many of the good reviews. I also saw the complaints warning about how hard the steps and routines are to learn. I thought that because I had more than two years experience taking ballroom dance lessons that I wouldn't have that problem. But after trying a few times a day for the first several days and then a few times a week for about two months, I still wasn't any closer to learning it. Those are not basic or even intermediate steps that she teaches. I think it would ... Read More

This video is a good, fun workout! It has some pretty tricky moves that I didn't get until the second time I did the video. But, it was fun! You wouldn't want this to be your ONLY workout video, because there's only one routine and you could get board. But, it's a fun way to add some variety to your current workout routine. You'll get tired as it's a good work-out!
