"I made the mistake of believing two reviews previously posted that raved about how great this DVD is. Now I wonder if they were real purchasers of the DVD, or just shills for the producers. The dance steps are not adequately presented. Before you have time to really master them, you are expected to do them double time, in a long, intricate series with other steps you also haven't mastered. Then there's the language barrier. The words chosen to describe steps are not good indicators of what that step does. The instructor's accent, while charming, can be confusing. It took me half the DVD to figure out "Swill" meant "Swirl"! Save your money!"

CREATIVE AND CAPTIVATING !!!

"This video is awesome! It's the only Brazilian workout video that shows authentic Samba like in Brazil, with real Brazilian music and dance. I'm Brazilian and I can affirm, "Sambody is the real deal"!!! I'm an aerobic and dance instructor and always watching workout videos to give me ideas for my classes. Sambody is one of the few videos that really helps me to teach samba steps in a simple way and supports creating new choreographs. The Carnaval Party in the end of the Advanced DVD is just marvelous! It worth to buy even just to watch and enjoy! Highly recommended!!!"

"This video is amazing. Sambody combines the authentic brazilian samba beat with instructional steps. So easy to learn and fun to do everyday, Unlike the Zumba series which is confusing and boring."

Finally, fun exercise!
