I love to dance but it is so hard for me to get to a gym to take the classes because of my weee little one! Does anyone have any suggestions of great dance aerobic workouts I can do from home?

    Dancing with the Stars is a good one, too! If you have a X-box in the house Dance Challenge will have you tired of shaking it! Lol!

    If you have On Demand from either Comcast or Direct TV (I dont know if other providers have this available or not), but you can get on there and go to the Exercise TV channel and they have a Dance category... and it's all Free :)

    If you have netflix streaming there are a few on there I really enjoy.

    10 min solution: fat blasting dance mix (It's a 50 min video with 5 ten min segments)

    Crunch: fat burning dance party.

    There are more I just really like the instructor on those two.

    I really like the Just Dance for Wii. It is so much fun. I tried Zumba but it wasn't for me either. Just Dance is easy to do, easy to follow and some really great songs. I would start with Vol 1 then move on to Vol 2. But I don't think it matters really.

    Just Dance for Wii has songs by Katy Perry, Brittany Spears, CIndy Lauper, etc, it is very fun and you burn a good amount while doing it!!

    I've really enjoyed the Dancing with the Stars Cardio Workout DVD! It features Ashly Costa, Kym Johnson, and Maksim Chmerkovsy, who will teach you the step by step moves for the Paso Doble, The Cha Cha, the Samba, and the Jive. It's fast paced, but tons of fun, and the moves are something you can use on the dance floor at a later time!

    I also have really gotten a great work out following along to the "Dance with Julianne" DVD, featuring Julianne Hough. She's an upbeat and athletic dance instructor, and you almost end up feeling like you're performing in a drill team! It will make you sweat!!

    Check out Tracy Anderson's stuff. I think all of her cardio is dance based. Not always the best instruction, but definitly a good workout. I have her first cardio dance video. A good video, but probably not for those lacking coordination or lacking dance skills.

    I to have the Wii and Just Dance 1 and 2.... I love them both....And my kids have a blast doing them too.... I think the levels are the same on both, just different songs...Best part for me is I can pick and choose the songs I want to dance too...;)
