I love to dance and I dance a lot but it just seems to tone my legs and nothing else. What other types of fun workouts can I do that will help tone the rest?

I do martial arts, which works on all parts of the body. If you like exercising by dancing, you might also consider investing in hand weights and dancing with those.0

Jump roping is great fun! Plus, very cheap and you can jump rope just about anywhere!0

Aquafitness! Find a good, fun, instructor. It's a bit like dancing, but the water is 15x more resistance than working on land, so everything works harder, but with no joint stress. Great for core. uIf you want to focus on arms and upper body, make sure you are working in water up to your armpits - at least!- and you can wear special mitts or just put a pair of socks on your hands and spread your fingers = even more work.
I love it.0 -
Hula hoop!! Get a weighted hoop if you can. It's so much fun and it works your core like crazy! It burns calories too, similar to a brisk walk. And it's just fun!0

I'm a dancer too - but I love Jillian Michaels wokout DVDs for my arms, they've made a HUGE difference. Also group fitness classes are great and yoga/pilates/tai chi I'm enjoying too. And my arms are looking fantastic!!0

I used to climb at a climbing gym, if you're open to that kind of thing.
I was in awesome shape back then.0 -
Hula hooping for sure0

Kickboxing or pretty much any group fitness class. Racquetball is my current favorite workout.0

Ohhh this - I haven't done it much but my bestie who is also a dancer is an amazing climber and has AWESOME arms (and legs, and core, and back and butt and everything else....)0 -
I'm a dancer also. It is fun! But, I do contemporary, so we do take our weight into our arms often. I also lift weights and do yoga.0

Pilates... Check out Cassey Ho's videos (for FREE!!!) on YouTube0

I put on a mask and cape and go out and fight crime. Now THAT is a full body workout. But then again... I'm Batman!
(Seriously though, martial arts is great)0 -

My kind of fun is getting through a whole Cathe Friedrich Plyo or HiiT workout and living to tell about it.
Very challenging! Kickboxing is fun too though. and hiking. I could live in a tent and hike almost everyday.
I think the rest of my family would mind though.0 -
