SILVER SPRING, MD; February 6, 2009 — Dance expert Kimberly Miguel Mullen explains, “In dance everything stems from the abdominals.” Her newest DVD, Dance and Be Fit: Abs Burn targets the #1 trouble spot with creative and uplifting dance moves that burn calories and sculpt the muscles that make up your core. No boring crunches allowed here. This workout focuses on getting your center as fit and in tune as possible. Great original music and Mullen’s joyful spirit lift this program from ‘exercise’ to ‘fun’. Bonus segments let you also try Bollywood and Brazilian dance workouts. Dance and Be Fit: Abs Burn is being released on April 7, 2009 ($14.99 SRP) and will be found wherever fitness videos are sold and at www.AcaciaCatalog.com

The first 20-minute workout, ‘Curvy Core’, builds core strength first from the floor then through Brazilian style dance moves. The 20-minute ‘Sexy Sculpt’ segment flows with hip and waist undulations to get that curvy definition. Dance, twist and smile your way through each section one at a time or play the whole DVD from start to finish including 5 minute warm-up and 5 minute cool down for a full 50-minute workout. No equipment is needed but a mat is recommended for the dancer’s style floor work.

Instructor Kimberly Miguel Mullen holds a Master of Arts in Dance from UCLA with an ethnology specialization and teaches dance and performs all over the world. She is part of the theatre faculty teaching dance at California State, Los Angeles and Occidental College.
