It's called Hip Hop Abs.  The class is a combination of dance and abdominal work.  The focus is on the core, but the rest of your body - and mind - will get a great workout.

Jen Kees, the owner of in West Des Moines, is the instructor.  She's been dancing and choreographing routines for 25 years.

"I know how to take a beginner in my hands and teach them the basics and then go from there."

We also burn up the abs with 15 minutes of traditional floor work before returning to the dance routine.

We may never look like professionals.  But with Jen's help, we do manage to bust a few moves, while working on our six packs.
