Synopsis

Set in a brightly lit aerobics studio, the video presents Deanne Berry as an exuberant instructor leading a class through a series of deliberately suggestive 1980s-style routines. The mostly female group follows her energetic choreography while a lone male participant watches and joins in, clearly captivated by the instructor. Mirrors, colorful workout clothes, exaggerated poses and close-ups amplify the playful, knowingly provocative tone. The clip builds toward a final burst of synchronized movement, turning a simple fitness session into a glossy parody of retro workout culture.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed at the Laban Dance Centre in Deptford, South London.
  • Its concept spoofs the aerobics sequence from the 1985 film "Perfect," starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis.
  • Deanne Berry, who plays the instructor, also created the choreography. She later became associated with dance-fitness and continued working in the fitness industry.
  • The male class member is played by actor and singer Juan Pablo Di Pace, who was then at an early stage of his screen career.
  • The styling deliberately imitates 1980s workout videos, including bright leotards, leg warmers, headbands and a mirror-lined studio.
  • The clip became a major part of the single's identity and helped drive its popularity on music television. The video was so prominent in the campaign that the DVD single included both "daytime" and "late night" versions.
  • The video's risqu‚ tone attracted considerable attention in Britain. Prime Minister Tony Blair even joked publicly about nearly falling off his rowing machine when it appeared.
  • The performers later appeared in a Ministry of Sound dance-workout DVD, extending the video's aerobics concept beyond the promotional clip.
