I was attracted to this dvd because I thought Afro-Brazilian dance would be a nice alternative workout. The video has 3 15-minute segments - each of which add onto the dance moves that you learn in the previous segment. It really is a great cardio workout - by the end of the first 15-minute segment my heartbeat was up there and I broke a sweat. However, I was not able to master a lot of the moves because I am just not that coordinated - I found it choreographically challenging - but, then again, I have no experience with dance. There are some moves, like "heel digs" that are a bit too high-impact for me (I have a problem w/ my joints and try not to do too much jumping). All in all, though, I definitely recommend this video for anyone who is more coordinated than me - it really is a fun one!

Instructor Comments:
I liked the instructor - she is upbeat and draws you in - I like her personality.
