You can do the basic calypso, now it’s time to get working on the calypso tobago.

Zumba® Education Specialist Donna Giffen shows how to perform the funky step in the video player above, adding extra bounce when you master the move.

Zumba® Fitness classes are an increasingly popular way to exercise and Donna’s video guides give you a taste of what you can expect if you attend.

Before you think about working on the calypso tobago, make sure you do a five minute warm-up. You can watch Donna’s warm-up guide here.

The important thing to remember about Zumba® Fitness is that you don’t have to be a dance master or the king or queen of co-ordination to work out.

As Donna explains, it’s about adding your own ‘flavour’ to the basic steps. If you’ve been following our other videos, you will of course know that by now!

Donna has also demonstrated how to perfect the merengue and salsa in previous clips, plus, if you’ve missed the basic calypso guide, you can watch that now.

Post exercise, remember to cool down and finish with some stretches for the main muscle groups including legs, chest back and arms.

We will be bringing you more Zumba® Fitness steps with Donna in the coming days so keep checking stv.tv/zumba for the latest moves.
