You can do the basic calypso, now it’s time to master the calypso tobago.
Zumba® Education Specialist Donna Giffen shows how to perform the funky step in the video above, with extra bounce added when you master the move.
Zumba® Fitness classes are an increasingly popular way to get fit and Donna’s video guides give you a taste of what you can expect if you attend.
If you are keen to shape up for summer then now is the perfect time to get your groove on and try this latest dance craze.
Before you work on the calypso tobago, make sure you firstly do a five minute warm-up.
The important thing to remember about Zumba® Fitness is that you don’t have to be a master of dance or the king or queen of co-ordination to work out.
Donna explains that it’s about adding your own ‘flavour’ to the basic steps. Though 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, the salsa and the basic calypso in previous clips. You can watch them now at entertainment.stv.tv/zumba.
Post exercise, remember to cool down and finish with some stretches for the main muscle groups including the legs, chest, back and arms.
