It's Seriously Underrated - Why Top Instructors Reckon This Surprising Workout Is *The* Must-Try of 2026

Dance workouts: A woman stretching at a bar.

If 2025 was all about Pilates, when it comes to working out in 2026, dance is where it's at - and we're here for it.

Combine that with a little cardio and strength training, and you might just have the perfect workout.

And it's not just us who think so: searches for whether dance workouts really work are currently at breakout, proof that we're all pretty invested in the trend. Hybrid workouts have been around for a while (think cardio and strength training/Pilates with weights/barre and arms, and you've got the gist), so it makes sense that the world of dance is getting in on the act, too.
