Dance/Fun Fitness Videos

I find that I'm more likely to do workout videos if they involve some fun, like dancing and learning new moves. Can someone help me find my perfect DVD so I stop wasting money??

Ideal: 30-45 minute workout, 200+ calories burned (I weigh around 135, 5'6", lightly active), lots of fun, and I would love to tone and lengthen my muscles as well

Other FYI:
I really like ballet, but I have NO experience. I am highly interested in doing this, but I really want to burn calories as well
I have done Zumba in a class and I loved it, but I"m not sure if I would like it at home?
I love pilates and have experience with it
I also like kickboxing, but would prefer more dance

Also, has anyone tried Brazilian Butt Lift? the videos looked interesting, but were expensive!

Thanks!!

    I love my Zumba DVD's! I swear by them. Give them a shot. I don't think you'll regret it!

    I do Zumba on the Wii. I like that it makes me challenge myself to get a higher score every time. I haven't done the at home DVDs. I'm sure they're just as great.

    I just started on the good old Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies and Disco Sweat. I've always loved him, and I was so excited to see them on DVD! If you've never done/watched these, I suggest Sweatin to the oldies 3 and disco sweat. They are so much fun. Yeah, he's different, and lots of people don't like him because of how he talks/dresses, but if you give it a chance.... Sweatin to the oldies 3 is only $5 through Walmart.
  • Haha I've actually almost bought those Richard Simmons videos - and yes they are pretty cheap! And I'll definitely try Zumba at home.

    anyone else?/bump

    If you have a Wii there are several dance games like Zumba, Just dance, or the Michael Jackson Experience! I love these games nd you have fun! HTH
