dance cardio

Moving to music

Dance cardio is aerobic exercise performed through dance movements, typically in a group fitness class or following along with video instruction.

The emphasis is on sustained movement and elevated heart rate rather than mastering choreography: I do dance cardio three times a week.

Styles range from hip-hop to Latin-inspired routines.
