Product Description:
Two styles of Brazilian dance plus a Capoeira martial arts segment. You're sure to be motivated by its authentic Brazilian feel (rhythm, energy and passion). You'll start with Maculelê — familiar fitness moves infused with tribal stomps and Latin sensuality (e.g. double step-touches blended with sexy hip pops). Samba Reggae is next. It features varied Carnival-style Latin dance moves combined with more bounces, sways and chest-pops. The Capoeira section is truly unique. It blends fast-paced stick-fighting cardio with non-traditional floor-based toning (e.g. “the spider”). Great drum music in a jungle-inspired outdoor setting. ©2008.
