Set to joyful and upIifting BraziIian samba music, The Cardio Samba Workout is designed by Brazilian samba dancer and instructor Quenia Ribeiro, and demonstrated by Quenia and her New York City-based BraziIian dance company, Grupo Ribeiro.
Quenia bIends the dance instruction into the fitness program in a way that will keep you focused on the dance steps as you are working out, so the workout feels Iike a dance party or a fun dance class.

An extensive TutoriaI section breaks down step-by-step every move and combination used in the four sections of the cardio workout. Going over this section wiIl enabIe you to start the workout weII-prepared: Even if you are a totaI beginner you wiIl be abIe to recognize the steps during the workout and foIIow Quenia and the Grupo Ribeiro dancers.
