Reading the reviews and finding a tape that offers a great workout is hard..all depends on the shape you are in and what you are looking for. While I like the final dance and it was fun learning it the first time, unless you replay the whole learning portion every time there is not much of a workout, she does the dance 2 x's which just gets your heart rate up and then it is done... Having to go back to the "top" every couple of steps makes it boring..I think that all dance dvds should be based on the Zumba format. Have a section that teaches the steps so you can return to that if needed but then have the music and dance that you just learned for different lengths of time, 30 min, 40 min and 60 mins. I have found that nothing compares to Zumba..the more you do it the more you figure it out and get a good workout at the same time,and great music that you can have fun with makes the time go quick and makes it fun!

I really liked this DVD. I think Quenia is really good at what she does and her teaching style is very cute AND understandable.
Have done it a couple times now and ALWAYS come out dripping with sweat. Each move is done 1-3 times before it is combined into the big (long) dance routine. It might be too much to remember but you can always pause and rewind/forward, right!?! Right!
It's really fun to do, especially with others. Quenia's energy combined with the musical delight that is the band, is very encouraging!
This DVD makes for a very nice workout...I've already noticed slimming w/i the hip & waist area!!!

I have done the workout once. Benefits are that it is a longer workout than the 20 minute and half hour ones I have.

I like the instructor and the other dancers. The choreography is interesting. The drummers are ok.

Overall, I am happy I bought it, I will use it again, but there is another Brazilian video I borrowed from the library and I would buy that one next.

It is more upbeat, fun better drumming and its shot outside, not so dreary.

Brazilian Dance Workout

But it costs around 10 dollars more so there you go :)

Just ordered this and it was delivered in 2 days!
The dance steps are easy to learn and by the end of the routine which combines all steps, you will definitely work up a sweat.
The background music makes you think you are in a parade in Brazil...AWESOME!!

This is a really great dance routine. The dance steps were broken down and easy to follow, the total
workout definitely work up a sweat. She is a great teacher and I will defintely buy her other dvds.
It was great for beginner/intermediate.
