NYCB Workout I and II are great. There's floor work, stretching, and basic movements. Some jumping.
Former dancer, just started getting into lifting almost a year ago. When I danced, I used NYCB Workout I to get maintain strength and flexibility while I was getting through some injuries. I didn't have II at the time but I've done it and I like it better.
Ballet. Ballet, ballet, ballet. The cornerstone of classical ballet is turnout (lateral rotation) from the hip; your gluteus max, min, and obdurator muscles (that's butt and inner thighs) are mainly responsible for this kind of movement. There is literally no point in a ballet class when these muscles aren't working, and I can't recommend it any more highly for a butt-workout. Not to mention the added perks of increased flexibility, abs of steel, and generally long, lean muscles and a lot more varied and interesting movement than the repetitive action of running that can do some nasty stuff to your iliac nerve. At the very least a strengthening class geared towards dancers is a great start.
If you'd rather work out at home, the New York City Ballet workout DVD is a personal favorite.
Good luck!
