I just finished doing this workout and it was intense!  The workout sections are:1) samba basic steps - She teaches front foot samba, side to side samba and going back first samba.  She teaches it first without music and counts for you.  This is excellent as you can get the count and the sway of the hips. I have been doing brazilian dance for years and this is the first time I had someone break it down with precision.  She then teaches it with music and at half time and regular time.2) workout tutorials - She breaks down the workouts (1-4) at half time.3) Transition samba steps - These are steps you will do between the workouts to keep your heart rate up.Next is the warm-up.  If you have ever taken a dance class, the warm-up will be familar to you.  It is a slow warm-up, not very exciting but it gets the job done which is to warm up the muscles.Then there is the workout which is broken into 4 sections.  She does each one slow then up to tembo with a transition step in between each workout.  The workouts are on separate chapters in the event you need to repeat one.  The steps are not complicated but are fast and challenging as you will be changing directions and turning.  I suggest that you have a pretty large dancing space.  The last section, 5, is all of the workouts strung together w/o the transition steps at warp speed (up to tempo).For my first time through I got about 1/2 the steps up to tempo.  The samba is very fast and tiring.  I sweated up a storm!!!  Unless you are in excellent shape and/or a sambanista, you will not get this at tempo the firt time around.  That's good because this dvd challenges you so that each time you do it you get a little bit more and a little bit stronger.The last section is a short but sweet cool down.Quenia is joined by 3 dancers 2 of whom were on her last dvd.  The setting is a soundstage with hard wood floors. (not good on thick pile carpet) The music is very good BUT could have been a little louder.  Thankfully, once the workout starts she doesn't talk alot except to cue you.Over all I loved this dvd and will do it again and again and one today I hope to be able to do part 5 straight thru without stopping.  And since workout 5 is its own chapter, you can put your dvd player on repeat and do it several times as you become stronger.  I must say that I had the priviledge of taking her class at the Alvin Ailey dance school in NYC and she is the sweetest person and a petite dynamo.  Obrigada Quenia

    Not as good as I expected

I have all three of Quenia's workout DVDs. I absolutely LOVE her Samba Reggae Workout, which was her second DVD. It feels like more of a workout than her first DVD, which I only did once because I found it hard to follow. Since there was so much improvement from her first DVD to her second one, I couldn't wait for this one. Sadly, I was a bit disappointed.As always, Quenia is wonderfully engaging and energetic in this DVD. She is very thorough with her instruction and cuing. The moves are great and authentic. You will definitely work up a sweat if you do it all the way through. There are also lengthy warm up and cool down segments.However, something about the format of this DVD really takes away from my enjoyment of it. The routine does not flow as smoothly as her Samba Reggae workout. There are too many interruptions. The segments seem disconnected from each other instead of flowing as one whole piece.I also miss Grupo Ribiero, Quenia's live musicians. I don't know why the decision was made to play a recording instead of having the live drummers, but that took away from the workout. I loved the intensity and authenticity that the live drummers brought to her previous workouts. Hopefully they will return in her next DVD, which I will buy.

    Not as good as her other DVDs, but still a workout
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2010*

I now own four of Quenia's DVDs, and if I were to put them in order, this one would be my second to last.  (Last is "Dance Today! Samba" as that's actually instruction and not meant as a workout.) As other reviewers have said, this one moves really fast and doesn't seem to flow as well as the others.The music was probably the worst of all four DVDs, not only was it just a recording, it sounded more Hawaiian than anything else.  (Mostly it just didn't sound good, canned and tinny.)She had three backup dancers this time, which was really nice (Dance Today! had none, her other two DVDs each had two).  Two were the same and one person was new.If I could give half-stars, I'd rate this 3.5 instead of 4.  I suppose if I didn't like her so much I could really knock it down to an even 3, but she has such energy and enthusiasm, I really enjoy working out with her.
