Plot

Taught by Vanessa Isaac, the Brazilian Dance Workout is an energetic 60 minute cardio workout for all fitness levels. This exhilarating whole-body workout blends dancing in a class with dancing in a sultry, Brazilian Carnival street. Featuring great live drumming and beautiful outdoor locations, this energetic, easy-to-follow workout combines the rich and intoxicating dances and rhythms of Brazil: Samba, Samba-Reggae, African, Axe', Frevo and many others. It's all about letting the rhythm move you and celebrating life... Brazilian-Style.

Bring joy to your day as you dance away the pounds. It's impossible to be stressed when your body is moving to these traditional, street and Capoira-inspired moves from Brazil. A live Brazilian percussion group, led by Randall Tico, sets the mood for this outdoor, tropical class setting. Vanessa Isaac shows the move first quickly then breaks it down so the exotic moves become simple to learn. As your body responds to the exhilarating dances with a feeling of increased energy and vitality, the stimulating dance rhythms provide energy and promote an increased zest for life.

Why face another boring treadmill when you can enjoy the Brazilian Dance Workout? From the great warm-up routine to the cool down session, the surprisingly easy-to-follow, colorful shakes and moves create an exhilarating dance and exercise experience.

  I love this video! Great drumming and a fun dance workout. I have to admit it took me quite a few sessions to get the hang of the moves. But now that I've got it, I only wish there was a way to turn off the voice track and just have the visuals and the drumming alone.

  It was difficult to keep the heart rate within the fat-burning zone. She explains the simple moves however, the more difficult ones she rushes through them.

  Vanessa's "Brazilian Dance Workout" is fantastic! I've never had this much fun working out before. It's cultural, beautiful, effective and fun. Vanessa is the best teacher and her DVDs are my favorites. 5 stars don't make justice to how wonderful her work is. She deserves 10, 100, 1000 stars. Thank you for your amazing work, Vanessa. Please keep making these awesome videos!
