Tracy Anderson believes that dance cardio is the ideal cardio workout for building lean muscles and a female, toned figure. When dancing you loads your muscles from a wide variety of angles as opposed to running or biking. This workout is high energy dancing, full of jumping and hopping, and high kicks and even the 60s dance step the Pony. The eight combinations that make up the workout are like a jazzy version of petite allegro (the jumping section of a dance class). Although it is high energy and full of movement it’s able to dance almost in a tiny living room.

A description from Tracy:

After working for 10 years to develop my method, I have turned down every opportunity to have it reach the masses - until now. I have figured out an effective way to take everyone on the life-changing journey that my method has to offer. This video guide will help you get the kind of results that I know you never thought were possible. My Dance Cardio Workout is a follow up to last year's Dance Aerobics Workout and it is full of new combinations. It features a break down section so that you can learn the routines at your own pace and you will have the exciting option of following me from the back just as if you were in the class with me. Dance Cardio is the perfect complement to the muscular structure work of the Mat Workout DVD. Take the time to get good at the moves featured in these guides and they will be all that you need to be on your way to a life free from wondering if you are doing the "right" exercise to get the body you want.
