Movie Reviews of Samba Party Workout 1: Brazilian Rhythm Celebration
Movie Review: A fun workout
Summary: 5 Stars
Samba Party Workouts 1 and 2 by Vanessa Isaac are fun workouts. As others have pointed out they are pretty basic. Since most people don't know much about Samba I assume this is done purposely to ease people into unfamiliar movements. If you don't have a strong dance background or want a slow, clear introduction to some basic samba movements, I would recommend these as a good starting point. She explains things very clearly and there is a section you can use to review individual movements slowly with additional explanation. If you know some samba, have alot of dance experience, or are looking for a challenge I recommend the SamBody Workout. I've been doing salsa/merengue/bachata off and on for about 12 years and I've been doing swing dancing for the past 7. I find that Sambody gives me a run for my money. It's a ton of fun but it will take me a few workouts to get the moves down. I like all of them but SamBody definitely challenges me quite a bit. It's super fun!! I also like the World Dance workout by Elsa Leandros. It has a Samba segment along with several other dances and will give you a couple extra moves to spice things up if you really want to pick up a variety of moves.
I did the Samba Party 1 dvd, using the instructional section first, and was able to do all the moves the first time without any problems. I did Samba Party 2 right afterwards, again using the instructional segment first, and was able to complete it with ease the first time. They were both fun and I could see myself doing these moves on a social dance floor. Later in the week I did Elsa's dvd which was a little more challenging since it covers several dancestyles. I did the instructional section first and found the workout to be fun and it gave me a good workout. It had some fun samba moves that were not covered in Vanessa's dvds. The next day I tried the SamBody workout -Basic Steps. It was fun but I couldn't quite get all the steps on the first go, even with some rewinding. It's faster pace with alot more movements performed overall. I think my brain got a little overloaded. I haven't tried my SamBody -Advanced Routines 1 yet but I did watch it and it looks fun. I can't wait to work my way up to it!
