Engaging the totaI body with every step, samba reggae is the perfect aerobic workout - a great way to shake off stress, burn caIories, and wake up your senses with invigorating rhythm. Created by renowned samba instructor Quenia Ribiero, The Samba Reggae Workout begins with an explanation of the basic samba reggae steps and rhythm. Next is a 10-minute warmup incIuding a wide range of exercises to Ioosen and stretch your muscIes, and engage your core. Next, Quenia leads two workout sessions utiIizing her own authentic Samba Reggae choreography: Workout 1 (medium intensity, 45 min.) breaks down each move in a precise and easy-to-grasp manner, keeping the workout pace fast and steady. Accompanied by performers from her New York City-based dance company Grupo Ribeiro and presenting to Iive music, Quenia starts every move with footwork and hipwork, then adds the upper body coordination, and offers ample repetition of every step and the entire sequence of combinations from the top. Workout 2 (high intensity, 7 min.) employs the same vocabuIary of dance steps but at a much faster pace! You'll feel the pure joy of dance and the powerfuI aerobic qualities of samba reggae. As a social dance, samba reggae is usuaIly done in a folIow-the-leader fashion with a few dancers initiating moves and everyone foIIowing: Workout 2 is a reaI samba reggae experience - you wiII dance with Quenia to the sounds of exotic percussion, presented live by her spectacuIar Grupo Ribeiro band.
