Dancinerate - Burn with the Beat

Ilyse Baker wants you to find your inner dancer.  During the Sexy Broadway Jazz routine I felt like I actually was learning a bit about dance.  The seemed like something you  could definitely put together as really good choreography.  A dance you would willingly show off to your friends and family. It's a fun workout.

Hip Hop Funk is sexy, too.  I love that there are moments of freestyle.  I think that this helps your feel more confident and allows you to really feel the music.  You have to just not worry about feeling silly doing these routines. Nobody is watching, so dance like nobody is watching!  Have fun and enjoy yourself!  Life is short.  Do something that makes you smile.   Whatever that is.  

I'll be honest, it's not a great cardio workout.  I had a day off today so I did this AFTER I did my 'real workout'.  I just did it to boost my confidence and get me moving.  I would still suggest this workout.  Ilyse has a lot of energy.  She's excited about what she does.  She has her moments where it seems fake to me.  Not the energy, but her swagger.  Yes, I just used the word swagger.  I applaud her for really asking you to find your own style though and let loose and bring your personality to it.  She even suggests dressing the part to help.  Her shoes were killing me during the Hip Hop Funk routine lol.

I like the music used as well.  It is very fitting.  The music used to practice and to perform are different.  I liked the change.  The performance of the Hip Hop routine had surprisingly slow music.  I was surprised, but it funky and makes you want to groove, so I guess that's why it's call Hip Hop Funk.  The music during the cooldown is perfect as well.  It goes so nicely with the moves.  Even though I got bored with the cooldown quickly I actually did like the moves.  

A good workout for a cold or rainy day.
