Three short jazz-based dance workouts, running from 18 to 20 minutes apiece, plus a 13-minute "bonus" ballet workout. Jennifer Kries instructs.

Beginning and advanced beginning exercisers. The moves aren't complicated, but you should enjoy dancing and feel comfortable in your body. They're very low impact workouts.

Although these three workouts are very basic, with long warm up segments and simple dance steps, that's not necessarily a bad thing. They run more like an actual dance class than a cardio workout at a gym, and those with any Pilates or Yoga practice will appreciate the precision of Kries instruction. The workouts are divided into beginning, intermediate and advanced, and they are all really the same routine, just a little harder each time. The first routine is good for everyone to learn how the moves flow, but those with exercise and/or dance experience will move onto the intermediate and advanced workouts after one passthru. Also included is a basic ballet workout, included as a bonus — again, this is more like a dance class than a traditional gym workout, and it's meant to build grace, flexibility, muscle control and balance more than merely to get your heart rate up. The better you understand your body and core strength, the more you get out of this DVD, so in reality, the more experience you get (especially in Pilates), the better these workouts will be for you.
