Tracy Anderson’s Dance Cardio Review
Looking for an at-home dance workout routine where you can work up a sweat and tone your muscles? Tracy Anderson’s Dance Cardio workout might be just the thing you need!
Is anyone else struggling to get back into an exercise routine? After a few weeks of scattered workouts, I’m still trying to get myself back in the grove. Maybe that’s why I impulse purchased a new workout DVD from Target. (I mean, it was on sale for $5.99. And I had a gift card.) I grabbed Tracy Anderson’s Dance + Cardio
 because I have her Perfect Design workouts and I really like them.
What are Tracy Anderson’s workouts like?
If you haven’t done a Tracy Anderson workout before, think of it sort of like barre class: Lots of repetitive, small movements that make you ask yourself how in the world such a small movement can burn so much. I love her workouts for days when I’m just not feeling like jumping around with a lot of cardio. Naturally, I was intrigued since the purpose of this one was cardio. And dancing. Who doesn’t love to dance?
Does Tracy give you cues during the routines?
Tracy doesn’t talk during the entire workout, so you never really know what’s coming. This is fine if you’re the free-spirited workout type and you don’t really care if you do 7 or 9 reps or you might be kicking your right leg when she’s punching her left arm. Needless to say, it’s a little difficult to follow exactly but you don’t necessarily need to follow it exactly.
Who is Tracy Anderson’s Dance Cardio made for?
I think this workout DVD is best if you…
- Â Enjoy lower impact workouts. There is still a bit of jumping, but there aren’t any burpees, lunges, or that kind of thing.
- Â Want a quick 30-minute cardio session. I like that this workout is a lot shorter than her other DVDs but it still got my heart rate up.
- Â Like flexible workouts without a lot of direction. You have to do a bit of guessing on where she’s going next, but it also means you won’t get sick of the same old phrases when you watch it for the 45th time.
I don’t think this will be my go-to workout, but it’s nice to have it in the rotation. I do like it when I can mute a workout and blast my own tunes, without worrying that I’m going to miss the directions.

What I would give to have Tracy Anderson as a personal trainer! I think this DVD would obviously be the next best thing 🙂 I’m not the best dancer but, if I were alone, I may attempt to do this workout! Only Charlotte would judge me… 😉
Ive been dying to try barre but it’s so expensive. Maybe I’ll pick up a copy and try to figure out how I can get my dog to leave me alone during home workouts!
The gym I am joining has a cardio dance workout class, (part of the reason I am joining it!).. so excited to join a gym! I never really went to one regularly before, lol!
I love those dance workout classes! (Doing it at home isn’t quite the same, but I guess it’s still effective!)
I don’t know why but I just feel like such a nerd when working out to dance videos. It could have to do w/ the fact that I lack dancing skills. Haha!
5.99??? This looks great!! …talk about no excuses! Love it!
I could use some strength training myself! We just joined Planet Fitness- my first ever gym membership! I’m pretty intimidated but I know it will feel good to work up a sweat once I’m over this sickness and start going regularly.
I have been doing Tracy Anderson workouts as well. I actually have a post scheduled in a few weeks about that. This is probably the most fun and effective way of not only losing weight, but also gaining some muscle you didn’t know you had. I love it! Enjoy!
