Set to the contagious rhythms of live drums, this high energy workout is sure to inspire all levels! Lift your spirits while slimming your body.

Sway and shimmy your way through this Samba fitness routine that feels more like a party than a work out. It's all about letting the rhythm move you and celebrating life - Brazilian Style!

Get the excitement of a real Latin Party in this easy-to-follow, all-samba workout. It's like Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro, complete with motivating live drummers and an outdoor Brazilian street set.

Vanessa Isaac makes it very do-able; she uses just 6 Samba Moves and teaches them in an understandable way (e.g. a "samba box" is just a regular box step with an extra twist). Once you've mastered the movements, you'll just naturally add your own style (e.g. an upper body shake, a hip roll, maybe a few shimmies).
