Dance Off the Inches: Latin Cardio Party

New York-based fitness instructor Emily Naim presents a fast-paced, intense dance workout, serving up three Latin routines that can be played separately, or together for an hour-long workout. A “step” guide offers thorough instruction on some of the more complex moves and combinations, such as the slinky, cumbia, and samba. Naim breaks down these movements for feet and arms, while demonstrating the finer points of each motion, enabling viewers to add a little spice to their exercises once they have mastered the technical elements. With her bright red cargo pants and hoop earrings, Naim boasts a sassy, street-smart persona that lends the proceedings an extra shot of fun, while two back-up dancers help pump up the energy level with their enthusiastic modified versions and occasional spirited shout-outs.
