Certified instructor description: A fast-paced “dance aerobics” workout that burns fat as it targets your midsection. No need for floorwork crunches, these aero/tone intervals tighten your abs using two ultra-motivating techniques. First, the familiar Jazzercise dance moves smoothly blend non-stop ab toning into every motion (e.g. hip swings, pelvic tilts and using your core to control momentum). Second, the program includes some short, all-toning standing segments (e.g. plié squats, side-to-side isometrics). Led by Shanna Missett Nelson, it’s a well-produced, high-energy workout driven by dynamic, pop music-style vocals. Includes lower-impact modifications. Can be done in a small floor space. ©2009. DVD has: 1 premix (32 min. alternate workout).

Jazzercise: Dancin' Abs

Fun and fit
This was a fun workout. It worked the abs in a fun way. - posted by Ellen on 1/31/2013
Numerous short routines
I like the fact that this one has numerous SHORT routines. It helps me not to get bored, and it's great for days when I don't have a lot of time, or feel a bit lazy. - posted by maureen on 1/3/2013
Love it
It's quite easy and fun, but it really keeps you moving! I can feel it working my abs. I even suggested it to a friend and now she's trying it out! - posted by Alice on 10/11/2012
Dancin' Abs Delivers
This video is my third Jazzercize purchase. I have Burlesque and Jazzercize Live. I love Burlesque and Live is just okay, but Danicin Abs Delivers! No Crunches in this video. It is basically a cardio workout for your abs. I love it. I am planning to do the short version of it tonight. I have done the full version twice. I am an intermediate to advance exerciser and I was dripping sweat afterwards. This is a great workout on your non-weight lifting days or you just want a fun workout. I hope Jazzercize continues to produce great videos. Shanna and Young are easy and fun to follow. - posted by Kristin on 10/2/2012
Great cardio with ab focus
I have done this workout twice now and really like it. The segments each have their own routine, and the choreography is simple and fun. The moves definitely work your abs if you do them correctly, and I felt my mid section the next day! The middle segment is 6.5 minutes of focused ab work, all standing, and is great, as it also has a cardio benefit. The moves can fairly easily be modified to low impact for when and if you are not up to the higher impact. Great workout! - posted by Cathy on 9/12/2012
Love Jazzercise
I've been taking Jazzercise in my area for the past 4 months so I ordered this "Dancin' Abs" with confidence, knowing it would be fun and powerful. I was right. The DVD provides 2 options: a half hour workout and a full hour workout. Both are very effective and exhilarating, as is usual for Jazzercise techniques, accompanied by upbeat, energizing music. I definitely recommend Dancin' Abs. ~ww - posted by Wendy on 8/16/2012
Dancin Abs Fabs
Loved this workout. It is so nice to be able to do this at home instead of loading up the car and driving to the gym for Jazzercise class! - posted by Jackie on 7/13/2012
This was fun.
The first time I tried this I wasn't sure about it. I usually don't care for dance workouts. I tried it again today and I am really liking it. I like that there are different moves with each song. It did not bother me that they stopped at the end of each song. There were a few moves that I didn't care for but I would just change them to what I wanted. I had to be careful doing a few moves as I workout on carpet. This is a great cardio workout. I agree the music in this one should be louder. I didn't feel it in my abs but I think that is because I forget to tighten them. I will keep trying the next time I do this workout. I gave this workout 4 stars for a few reasons. The music should be louder, the warmup became boring and there really isn't much of a cool down. Other then those few things I really like it. I am looking forward to trying the newest one Burlesque. - posted by Mia on 6/13/2012
So You Think You Can Dance
What a fun video! The ab moves are subtle but effective. I always feel my obliques two days later. This workout is a great alternative to endless crunches. It is definitely intermediate, but it's a great video to add variety to your workouts. The exercises are fun, and even non-dancers will look cool! Excellent cueing. - posted by Jayne on 5/30/2012
Super Fun!
Choreography is relatively simple, but the movements really activate the entire core. Full aerobic workout even though main focus is abs. No matter how many times I do this, the hour always seems to fly by! - posted by Amber on 5/18/2012

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Premixes
X
These are alternate workouts created by the manufacturer. They use the same content as the main program (i.e. the very same video footage). But the sections are re-edited into pre-made alternative workouts that you select from a menu. These are often condensed versions of the main workout.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
