A 40-minute cardio dance routine with lots of fun choreography and a bonus 30-minute Pilates session. Michelle Dozois and Tracy York instruct.

Intermediate exercisers who love to dance — the choreography here is a bit complicated, so you have to enjoy learning steps. The Pilates routine is more basic, although there are some challenging moves. You'll need room for the dance routine (shove that coffee table to the far end of the room!), and a mat for the Pilates segment.

How you feel about this workout depends on how much you like to dance. If you love learning new steps and the routines on most cardio DVDs bore you after a couple of weeks, you will love the creative choreography that Dozois and York have put together. If you prefer more athletic cardio workouts, this one will only frustrate you. This one's definitely for the dancers out there. Dozois and York always start off with basic versions of the steps, but quickly add flair and style and before you know it, you feel like you're performing on Broadway. Depending on your skill, it may take a little extra time to learn the routine, and you'll need a little more room than your normal cardio DVD, but the results — a fun, sweat-inducing, calorie burning session — are worth it. The main downside of this DVD is that there is no chapter menu, so until you learn each set of steps, you're stuck with the "rewind" button. After the cool down, you also get a 30-minute Pilates routine. The Pilates is pretty basic, but you will do a few challenging moves, like the full Teaser, so it helps if you are already familiar with these moves. This exercise DVD isn't for everyone, but if you prefer dancing your way through your cardio, you will love this.
