Hello David,
There is, but not using VMware's products. There are many discussions on setting up Dual-Boot systems on Google, generally any of them would work. Personally I do not dual boot but you can run VMware workstation on login so that it looks like you are running Ubuntu after a windows login. I have completely installed my systems with Linux, or virtualized. If you want to dual-boot, I strongly suggest following the existing approaches. Those approaches are bit out of scope for this forum.
Best regards,
