Matador – Los Fabulosos Cadillacs – Samba ZUMBA!!!!! Rhythm Zumba Fitness w/ Bradley
First saw Beto do a routine like this in Irvine. Hugo had adapted it for our superclass in San Diego, and I adapted it again for my classes. Added some capoeira to one of the breaks. Samba took me forever to figure out. Since this was the first time the students were doing this, I showed them 3 levels. One just bouncing on each foot as shown by Diane on the right, then level two making the knees go out, and last i showed the full samba zumba style. By the end of the song, everyone was doing it!ZUMBA® and the Zumba Fitness logo are trademarks of Zumba Fitness, LLC, used under license.

@isamara2 The style of dance that we are infusing to the song is samba though. Also capoiera, and other forms as well,

@crazyleftycool The song obviously is not an original samba song by a samba artist, but it has a samba beat to it which is why many zumba instructors use it with samba inspired moves.

the traveling chest pumps really takes the pressure off of the having to stress over the samba part. I use the 3 levels too but this song and the flow makes everyone feel successful.what a load of fun!

@cherrygirl8112 What do you mean it isnt how its suppose to be? In Zumba, we do not have to do the professional Samba. I always teach 3 levels so that even beginners can get the hang of it, just like Zumba teaches us. Just a regular lean to each side, or level 2 they can bow out the knees, or level 3 the full samba…i thought the class did an excellent job for being most of their first time!

the samba isn’t how it’s suppose to be but the class is having a blast the most important thing!
