Fun Global Dance Work Out Videos: Travel + Exercise!
Online work out videos have long been a part of our fitness routine, whether we’re working out while traveling or from home. Once the pandemic hit and travel stopped, we expanded our exercise routine with at home workout videos that also brought a fun, international experience back into our lives.
These videos are a win-win-win if you love travel and exercise. Here’s why:
- Free on Youtube
- Require no special skill or background
- Can be done at home or wherever you have internet
- Fun and engaging
- Great cardio work outs
- Transports you to another country (travel from home!)
Dance is common human experience across nearly every culture around the world. It’s a great way to connect internationally.
Plus dance is a fun way to stay fit.
The beauty of these particular at home dance workout videos is they use non-verbal cues to guide you. So there’s no language barrier! Just follow what you see.

When we came across this 3 minute 40 second YouTube video of this Zumba class in Korea dancing to the song Mami Lo Tiene, we could not stop smiling.
It’s fun to dance along with the class and feel like you’re there with them.
In addition to 3 minute song videos, they also started recording longer live dance work out classes during the pandemic. We recommend this 30 minute work out.
