The two 20-minute programs can be done separately, or together—it's your choice. The moves are simple, expressive, joyful, and super effective in toning your entire body. So put on a smile, immerse yourself in the rhythms, and add a little spice to your life today!
An upbeat and energetic series of totally-doable, Latin dance movements. The outdoor gazebo setting and motivating music are sure to keep you groovin', dancin' and sweatin' to a slim new body. Desi Bartlett's natural rhythm and "just have fun" attitude make it easy. She teaches add-on style — you'll learn a pattern, practice it, and then add something new ("now we're going to turn that combo around"). You get two different dance styles. The first section is Merengue — bouncy, fast-paced motions. The second is Salsa — a little slower with bigger, more expressive movements. Both sections feature lots of sexy chest pops, hip rolls and shoulder shimmies.
