Pedal dance is an aerobic exercise combined with dance movements. Athletes use a pedal with a width of about 3 feet and a length of 1 foot, and perform combined movements such as stepping and rotating with rhythm music in the pedal and its surrounding space. Compared with ordinary aerobic exercise such as running, pedal dance is more entertaining, so it is very popular in North America.

The action combination of pedal dance usually takes 32 beats (4×8 beats) of music as a group of actions, and the coach will teach 3-4 groups of actions in each class and practice them repeatedly. Because there is less time to stop and rest, the effect of reducing fat is remarkable. Dancing alone on the pedal ball causes burden and loss to the knee joint, which is not suitable for people who are seriously overweight.
