 It was just okay for me. December 26, 2008
I wish I had the same experience as some of the other reviewers, but I felt this dvd was just okay. The music is monotonous, don't get me wrong I love drums, but the beat hardly ever changed (the drum beat you hear in the sample video is the same beat played throughout the entire 45 mins of work out 1 and 7 mins of work out 2). The dance moves are fairly simple but they were not enough to keep me interested for the entire 45 mins.
 brilliant! October 31, 2008

I took a long time deciding which CD to buy but then saw the Samba Reggae Workout and bought it straight away!
The drumming I think is brilliant and really gets you into the mood!
The main dancer is fantastic. She does explain things very well and it is quite repetative so you soon get the hang of it.
I got up a sweat just watching the CD and I havent even tried it out yet!!
Just waiting for the house to be empty so I can have a go as I know I will make a complete fool of myself but I know it will be brilliant!
A 100% winner.
Quenia is Dynamite! October 1, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
The samba Quenia Ribeiro teaches us in this sensational DVD was birthed in Salvador, Bahia, and has deep African roots. It has found the perfect interpreter in Quenia, who dances with dazzling speed, strength and control. What Baryshnikov is to ballet, Quenia is to samba. Watch her and be amazed!
After Quenia and her Grupo Ribeiro give us a "Welcome," Quenia shows us some "Basic Steps," and then we get a terrific "Warm-up," which is slow and powerful. We next move to the "Workouts:"
In "Workout #1" Quenia shows us a set of steps, repeats them and then adds on the next set of steps, until we have a lengthy combination that gives new meaning to the word aerobic. Quenia says it's "a great way to exercise and burn calories," and have lots of fun too! If you don't have the necessary natural abilities (sense of rhythm, agility, etc.), muscular strength and tip top aerobic conditioning you may have trouble keeping up, but do what you can, and enjoy it.
In "Workout #2" the pace is picked up, and it's continuous, with the kind of energy that would leave some of our million dollar athletes panting in the dust. After the "Workouts," we meet the fabulous 5 man Grupo Ribeiro led by Nick Birmelin and dancers Ana and Nao.
Quenia is one of the most dynamic performers you'll ever see, and she will motivate you to try this fire-in-the-soul/fire-in-the-soles-of-the-feet dancing, expand your horizons, and learn from the best. Challenge yourself and the rewards will be worth it!

The Most Fun I've had working out in Years! September 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I work out everyday at 5am then commute 1.5 hours to work. I have done a number of video workouts including Hip Hop Abs, Tae Bo, etc. but Quenia's Samba Reggae is the MOST FUN I've had in years! It is pretty rigorous in the beginning but she is a great instructor. I am now using it twice a day--I do the second 45 minute workout just for the pure FUN of the dancing. How often have you heard anything like that? GREAT video and I hope she does more!
