She has arguably the most enviably toned body in showbusiness.

And Madonna gave some of her fans a taste of what it takes to get her ripped physique.

The 55-year-old led a dance class at her Hard Candy Fitness Gym in Toronto, and the high energy event was caught on camera by Marie Claire.

The video starts with Madonna wearing a fur-trimmed hooded jacket as she strides through a crowd of admirers.

'We've been in rehearsal literally non-stop for two days,' says a participant, as a group of dancers bust some moves for the camera. 'This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Madonna looks proudly up at a mural of herself on the wall, before signing her name below it with a black marker.

A group of people are then seen cheering and clapping their hands in the air as Madonna enters, ready to teach the class.

'We were just there to have fun in the room with her,' says another dancer.

Madonna wears boardshorts and a tight three-quarter length top, her blonde hair loose and wavy over her shoulders.

'The vibe in this building it's just vibrating,' says another person.

'How do you like that candy Toronto? Go hard or go home!' yells Madonna.

After the workout, the participants are seen hugging each other and smiling giddily.

I hope to be dancing and exercising at her age too, which is not too far off. She's fit (probably fitter than most 25 year olds), she's having fun (she's always been a dancer) so why all the hate?! No she isn't young chronologically anymore, so what. We'd all be lucky to live a long life and be healthy and active.

i hope it comes to the NY area. i'm currently doing kickboxing class which i love, but i also do ballet on off days & was just thinking this morning i would LOVE to have a great dance class with the same family camaraderie as i my kb class. anyone who didn't get to grow up to be like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance or the kids from Fame *holding up my hand* yet still love to dance everyday would benefit from something like this. :-)

As a fitness instructor myself I watched and I didn't sweat. And neither did she by the looks of it....

That was a waste of 2.56 min., I was expecting to see her lead a routine, not a mash-up of photos and movements which don't show anything at all except a jumpy camera operator...and the voice-overs were verging on adulation and veneration and were too syrupy for me. Pointless.
