Recs for fun sweat-inducing dance cardio

I'm looking for some fun, challenging dance cardio. Please nothing beginner - more like Inter/Adv, and I'm not afraid of choreography. I was looking at the new one from Ilyse Baker: Dancinerate...has anyone tried that one yet? What about your favorites from Patrick Goudeau? Or does anyone like Altheatized? Thanks so much everyone!

I'm intrigued by Dancinerate but judging from the clip I'm afraid there are too many breakdowns.

Have you tried Addicted to Sweat? A good combo of choreography and intensity IMO.

I know it sounds strange, but there are way too many dancers in the Dancinerate clip!

How are you with high impact? TA Cardio Dance is at a great price on Amazon now and once you learn the dances I'm sure you'll be sweating up a storm.

My favorite is Kari Anderson's Sweat Express II. Not a pure dance workout but definitely has Kari's dance flair and it's lots of fun. I would say it's more intermediate, though. As far as advanced, I've steered away from it because it's all rather high impact, which my body says is a no-no. If are okay with impact, definitely TA's first couple of Dance Workouts (Dance Aerobics and Dance Cardio) are fun and sweaty.

I just got Dancinerate but I only tried the jazz section. There's a lot of tifting and instruction and then at the end put it all together. I think it's kinda one sided. I liked the music ..what I could hear of it (has vocals) but the music was waaay too soft. I do like Ilyse's personality. It's not a lovefest with me but gotta try it again and get to the other section.

I love love Kari Anderson Sweat Express II..great music, each dance is to a certain song..fun..love her personality.

I like Altheatized but haven't done that one in a while so I can't be more specific right now.

I also love Planet Motion..it does have a little woo woo but fine with me.

I was wondering if Dancinerate had too many breakdowns too. Plus it's only rated as Intermediate, and I'd prefer a little bit more intensity.

Addicted to Sweat - now that I'm interested in! I had a long hiatus from VF, so I hadn't heard of it before. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for! Just so I'm sure, what's the names of the dance ones? I'm not interested in the toning ones.

Thanks so much fuzzie

Thanks for your replies everyone!

Yes, I'm fine with high impact. I do have all of TA's dance cardio ones. I'm gonna check out KA Sweat Express II and Planet Motion. Thanks for the thoughts on Dancinerate. Have any of you tried Addicted to Sweat?

I'll take out Altheatized this weekend and let you know what I think. I do remember I like her personality.
