Sweat With 'Slumdog'

Who could forget that closing dance scene from Slumdog Millionaire? Didn’t it make you want to get up and bust a Bollywood move? You can with the Masala Bhangra Workout: Back 2 Bollywood DVD. It will make you break a sweat and tone up while dancing to the rhythmic bhangra drum beats. If you like unique and upbeat workouts, move your body on the set of a Bollywood classic right in your living room.

Go Back to High School

Let’s just admit it—we’re all secret fans of High School Musical. We all sometimes wished that we could just break into a song and dance routine during the yesteryear of acne and bullies. Well, now that you’re an adult, you can. 10 Minute Solution: Dance Your Body Thin! is a compilation of five 10-minute workouts of choreographed moves to contemporary beats. Your kids aren’t the only ones who can get their cardio by dancing.

Get Down and Dirty

That’s right—nobody puts Baby in a corner. So, get up and dance to your favorite songs with her. Dirty Dancing Official Dance Workout will have you doing the swivel, the snake and even some mambo to your favorite songs from the movie. If you’ve got your own Johnny at home, get him to dance with you.

Plie Your Way to Tone

We all wanted to be a ballerina at some point in time, but the movie Center Stage made ballet seem sexy, and seriously necessary to get a dancer’s body. For a toned physique, stronger lower body and better posture, Element: Ballet Conditioning will help you, especially if you’re looking for a relaxing, low-impact workout that still gets the job done. Afterwards, you’ll feel cool, calm and just a little bit more graceful in your movements.

'Grease' Up, Get Down

Who wanted to be in a poodle skirt and ice cream parlor dancing, jiving—grease lightning!—when Grease came out? Don’t quite know how to jive or where to get one of those skirts? No need—we’ve got Dance Off the Inches: Dance It Off Ballroom to help you with the jitterbug and other popular dances. It’s a simple way to learn the moves and lose the weight.

Move It 'Avec Moi'

Ever wonder how those ladies moved their bodies so sexily and seductively in Moulin Rouge? With their get-ups leaving very little to the imagination, we surely saw their strong legs and toned behinds. Dance and Be Fit: Lower Body Burn shows you similar moves to get your rear in gear and lengthen your legs. Slip on your workout clothes now and your naughty negligee later.

Time to 'Step Up'

Channing Tatum in Step Up was all the motivation we needed to learn dance moves—anything to watch Channing over and over again. Even though we still can’t get enough of that dance flick, Jeanette Jenkins’s Cardio Dance teaches you hot dance moves, step-by-step. Hollywood trainer Jeanette gets you into the rhythm for a fast-paced and fun workout.
