Are dance workouts enough for weight loss?

Most of us are skeptical about it, but yes dancing can help you lose weight. But, there are several buts in this statement. Let's begin with the most obvious one -

But, the dance workout must challenge you.
A simple routine that doesn't make you sweat and utilise energy, momentum and strength will be a low burn workout, and not help you lose weight. High intensity dance form like club, Bollywood and Zumba are a hit with individuals trying to lose weight.

But, your instructor must plan well-rounded workouts
that focus on all body parts. These should also involve elements of cardio and weight bearing movements. Without these essentials any workout is incomplete. Luckily, most dance workouts involve the movement of various muscles which is one of the components to a successful weight loss.

But, not if you're irregular.
The capacity and time that you require to lose weight varies from person to person. Therefore, work this out for yourself.

But, not if you don't eat a healthy, well-portioned diet.
This is quite self-explanatory.
