Can I substitute a barbell with dumbells?? Need suggestions on videos?

Hi, I'm new to Cathe's workouts and need your help. I would really like to tone my upper and lower body. Are there any weight training videos where I can substitute a barbell with dumbells. Please advise. Thank you.

I can't think of any exercise where you can't use a set of dumbbells instead of a barbell. While a bar is sometimes more comfortable for some moves like squats and pliés, you could very easily use dumbbells instead.

The only workout that uses dumbbells only (unless I'm forgetting something) is PUB .
