Interview with Dance Your Ass Off’s Marissa Jaret Winokur and Contestant Alicia

As the Oxygen network’s Dance Your Ass Off has been whittled down to just three contestants, I had the opportunity to field questions to DYAO host Marissa Jaret Winokur and contestant Alicia, who was just eliminated from episode nine.

From the calorie-burning benefits and learning dances like the Cha-Cha and Jive, to understanding how fun getting in shape can be, these two dancers shared with us some of their best-kept secrets and insights from being a part of this dance and weight loss competition series.

Here is the complete audio conversation of our candid chat with Marissa and Alicia.
