SILVER SPRING, MD; December 23, 2008 —If you’ve ever seen a toddler gleefully bounce to a song, you know that dancing lives within each of us and brings immediate joy. What better way could there be to lift one’s spirit and heart rate in the name of good health? In the hands of a dance fitness professional, like Kimberly Miguel Mullen, dance can also be used to target certain trouble spots like the lower body. In Mullen’s new DVD, Dance and Be Fit: Lower Body Burn from Acacia, she aims to share the secrets of how dancers get those strong, lean legs. It is being released on March 10, 2009 ($14.99 SRP) and will be found wherever fitness videos are sold and at www.AcaciaCatalog.com. Lower Body Burn is the third DVD in the Acacia Dance and Be Fit series; Brazilian Body also with Mullen and Latin Groove with Desi Bartlett are also available. Bonus segments in Dance and Be Fit: Lower Body Burn allow you to sample workouts from each.

Do you want legs that will turn heads wherever they take you? With Dance and Be Fit: Lower Body Burn you’ll lose yourself in the rhythm as you lift and shape your backside, tone the hips and thighs and strengthen your physique. From hip sways to high kicks, the two simple 20-minute routines will make you feel happy, strong and free. Choose from ‘Heavenly Hips’ or ‘Lovely Legs’ or play the whole DVD from start to finish including warm-up and cool down for a full 50-minute workout. The music was created especially to match the moves and maximize the enjoyment.

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