Squeezing in a group workout class can be tough during the week, especially when juggling multiple priorities and competing tasks. But, at only ten minutes, this dance class is a super quick (and delectable!) exercise snack. So stop doomscrolling and work this fun class into your winter arc routine.

In this home workout video from choreographer Kaleila Jordan, you’ll jump right in. Assisted by Elle Baez and Mina Huynh, this dynamic workout is perfect for those who love dance. With energizing movements like high knees into leg sweeps and hip rotations mixed with high kicks — this session will get your heart rate up. Then, it’s on to core work that packs a serious punch and moves to strengthen the hips and obliques. Targeting these areas can help improve balance and coordination, important for those who love dancing, bodyweight exercises, or low-impact activities.

Finally, when the song, “Wicked and Wild” comes on, you’ll follow along with big steps out to the side and fast hip rotations. Then, you’ll close out with marching in place, step backs into punches, and cross-step combinations. Jordan knows how to keep the energy high throughout the session, and encouraging the class with a big smile. Although there isn’t a built in cool-down, if you’re looking for some options try this easy-to-follow along cool down from Sweat and Tell as you wind down.
