Why not have fun and learn some new moves while you burn calories and get a toned body? Dancing is a great way to add cardio to your exercise routine.

Nikki Blonsky loved dancing and training hard for her role in the movie Hairspray. She told FITNESS that at one point, she was losing weight so quickly she had to drink protein shakes to stay at her character's size.

Boxer Laila Ali says doing some fancy footwork on Dancing with the Stars required the same focus and intensity she finds in the ring. We say she looked amazing.

You too can be fit and look great while dancing. Get moving and dancing like the stars with these tips and workouts.
