The Samba Reggae Workout Review
This is a great dance workout w/Quenia Ribeiro, the two great female backup dancers & the live percussion band which plays the entire time. Quenia is a great fluid, graceful dancer w/body awareness & has a great, fun, friendly, patient personality, great cues & teaching & the two backup dancers also have fun dancing which is important.
You learn 1 type of samba step & many other traditional Latin dance moves that are fun to do.
Intro: 2 min
Basic Dance Step/Learn the beat: 3 min
Warm-up: 12 min - Some great stretching, lunges, ab work, neck stretching, rib, hip stretching & circles, etc.
Workout 1/Teaching Segment: 37 min - Quenia w/2 backup dancers teaches you a move in 1/4 time, even turning her body so you can see it from the side when necessary, making sure you move out your body, and even though there are 2 dancers behind her, she calls out YOUR left/right. Once she's done with instruction, she shows it in 1/2 time, then has you practice a few times, then at slightly slower then normal latin tempo, but a good speed for beginners since this is new to you. Once you learn another move, she has you practice that, then the move before-hand so you can feel the link, then from the top to build a routine. It's a great pace to keep you moving so you're never bored.
Workout 2/Very Fast/More Jump/Hoping: 5 min - Here you do the routine several times w/everyone jumping higher, adding more hops, and moving at breakneck speed like most Latin dances do.
There is no cool down, she introduces the band/dancers after.
This routine involves a good amount of hopping, but you can always make it more low-impact & still do it easily like in the workout 1 section. This is not ballroom style.

Born in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, samba reggae is an explosive, high energy blend of Brazilian samba and Jamaican reggae.

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 including a wide range of exercises to loosen and stretch your muscles, and engage your core.
Next, Quenia leads two workout sessions utilizing 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 live 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 vocabulary of dance steps but at a much faster pace! You ll feel the pure joy of dance and the powerful aerobic qualities of samba reggae. As a social dance, samba reggae is usually done in a follow-the-leader fashion with a few dancers initiating moves and everyone following: Workout 2 is a real samba reggae experience - you will dance with Quenia to the sounds of exotic percussion, presented live by her spectacular Grupo Ribeiro band.
