2 types of Brazilian dance, Maculele and Samba Reggae, make up the 1st segments. The 3rd segment consists of a mixture of cardio & toning using Capoeira "stick fighting" moves. I'd classify it as intermediate in level due to the instruction is minimal and may be harder to follow for true beginners. The beautiful setting and upbeat drum music draw you in and makes you want to move.

The cast does the workout in barefeet. Due to the mixed impact, I'd suggest a good aerobic shoe for those exercising on a non supportive surface.

The workout is done in voiceover and moves quickly. (for those individuals having trouble "grasping" the moves, you will enjoy the recap of all the moves at the end of each dance section, as Kimberly takes it from the top) None of the moves are too hard to follow, as many of them may be familiar from traditional aerobics. Kimberly adds sexy sways, pops and bounces to them.

Don't worry about perfection, just go at your own pace. Eventually you'll add your own personal dance style!
