SILVER SPRING, MD – Acacia announces the DVD release of Dance and Be Fit: Cardio Mix, a value-priced 3-DVD collection from its popular Dance and Be Fit series, on January 5, 2010 ($34.99; 154 min.; www.AcaciaLifestyle.com). Cardio Mix includes Dance and Be Fit: Brazilian Body with Kimberly Miguel Mullen, Latin Groove with Desi Bartlett, and Hip Hop Cardio with Sarita Lou. Beautifully produced, Dance and Be Fit programs feature expert, engaging talent, clear instruction, and fun routines that produce results. Best of all, the programs throw out the canned soundtrack typical to dance DVDs in favor of dance-worthy original music inspired by the individual dance styles. The workouts also offer flexible, customizable routines that fit into any schedule.
