HOW TO SAMBA IN 4 MINUTES 

I love how she said on 3:52 "You're doing great", while I was seated in my chair, eating a cookie. I agree.

The very first dance teacher who can do both: teach and actually samba. Parabéns!

I've been watching samba lessons on RU-vid for the past 30 minutes. This one is my favorite! Very comprehensive. I'm ready to try zumba again after Tania's lesson. Thank you!

the easiest, the most simple, and the most effective way of learning brazilian samba. Also the best samba teacher in youtube. I want to learn it. Thank you very much TANIA

@ZumbaByTania I have been trying to get this darn samba perfectly for MONTHS, and literally after a minute, I had the 'lightbulb' moment and GOT it, thanks to your teaching..you rock!

THANK YOU! This is the best beginner Samba video I've found on youtube. I teach general music and was looking for something easy enough for my elementary kiddos! Level 2 should work great. !

Thanks,I really learned how to samba that quick.Used to dance so I pick steps up quickly.I got it now.

Hi I'm knew to youtube but have been doing zumba for a couple of months and could never pick up the samba move. You have made it really simple to understand and practice. Thanks so much! Do you have any other youtube entries? Kim. New Zealand

For months I have trying to get this samba and literally in less than a minute, i had the 'lightbulb' moment thanks to YOU! You rock..wow, you really made it easy.

By the end of the video I can really hear the samba rythm just with the sound of your steps. That's totally cool.

I think I will never learn samba! It's sooo different. :O respect for all the Brazilian girls and women!

what clear, comprehensive, fool-proof explanation. You do Zumba proud. Thank you for caring and sharing

Tania, this is awesome!!! You are the ultimate teacher of Samba!

I have to said that This is maybe if not the very best the best lesson of how to learned samba. Well done Is lovely. Silvia

EXCELLENT tutorial! I got it in 4 minutes!!!! AMAZING. Going to a Brazilian club tonight and now I know how to samba. Thank you!!! : )

i think u needed a speeding ticket for going so fast! Great job and good teaching!

Thanks for showing this! I was gettin frustrated that I didn't get the move down in Zumba class tonight! ZumbaLove!

Thanks a bunch, I needed to learn this step for Zumba class so I wouldn't look so lame.

Thank you for the BEST and Simplest instructions I could find online...

You are really good. It's good to see people who know how to do the real thang!

OMG i wish you my first samba tutorial!!! After countless attempts with all different videos you solved the Samba mystery with my first try with you!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

hey Tania - It's Kara from NYC. I'm on your FB as well. This is simply outstanding. It is so hard to get the Samba, and for instructors, I find it hard to break down. This is fantastic. I have been working on choreo with Samba and now can break it down further for my classes to enjoy! You're the bomb girl!:) If you ever get to NYC - please look me up and come to one of my classes. You will be my guest instructor from miami! They'll love you!:) Zumba hugs. kd

After all these years, I still go back and rewatch this video when I need a tune up!

I know how to dance all this but would not know how to teach it...you did wonderful breaking it down!!! thnks!!

i saw people doing this in my zumba class and it looked easy and hard at the same time...i was wondering what exactly they were doing with their feet.. now i know! thanks!

Thank you SOOO much for posting. I have been looking for a step-by-step tuturial on how to do this since I started Zumba! I am complete, lol.

Thank you for taking the time to teach me. I love it and I will practice for my zumba class. Bearly on my 8th class. Keep up the good work.

me encanto!!!!!! muchisisismas gracias!!!!!! eres una muy buena coreografa enserio. muchas gracias!!! es mas facil de lo que pense. gracias a ti me doy cuenta. thank you very much!!!

Great demo and instructions. You make it looks so simple, could be just me but definitely needs lots of practice on my end.

perfect!!this is the best video for learning how to do samba so far :)) thanks a lot tania, it helped me so much :))

wow! Nunca había visto una lección tan fácil, clara y sencilla! Muchas gracias!

Great Girl!! It was perfect I really did it in 5 minutes!!!! I will sends u my video jajaja.You are really a teacher!! Thanks so much!!!!

OMG IM SO SAMBA CHALLENGED IN A BAD WAY :(......... But Wow, thank you!!!! This was so basic, but soooo very infromative and now I see i was missing a basic 1,2 ,3 step. I understand the movements a little morenow, it feels and looks much better when I move. I thank you for this video, this was by far the lesson that makes the most sense to me. I will be waking up to you every morning to practice unitl we touch down in Brasil in december. I will search for more of your videos. THANK YOU

really useful - the best how to dance samba ever seen!

I will need to practice this forever! Just when I think I have the move down, getting up to tempo makes me look like I'm having a seizure....too much upper body movement. Practice, practice, practice for me! Great instruction, though!!

This is how I learned to Samba in 2009! And now I teach Zumba® classes in Boston :) :)

Love this! Getting back on thge dance floor after 30 years, and I'm hoping to use some of these moves. Thanks!

Tania, thanks so much for the great instructions to do Samba from beginner level to advance. Great Job!!! Thanks.

woah I had doubts until i let the vid play out. awsome tutorial

Wow great video, you really broke it down and now I get it. The real challenge will be a pair of heels though lol def not ready for that. I understand now why there are schools for this and can appreciate it more. I will have to start practicing :-)

Thank you so much Tania! This video is amazing, it is perfect for anyone that wants to learn how to dance the beautiful Samba, I will add your video to my favorites and I will keep practicing. Thanks again, love and blessings. Elsie

haaa, It looks like I can do it!! wish me luck I will try it when i get home later!! thanks sooo much for posting this!!!

Hey Tania, This was great instruction. Especially after not doing samba in a while, its a great refresher!! Thanks! Leslie Ann

Very well explained thank you.

What a brilliant way to break this down I'm no longer scared of my feet lol

You make this so simple! Thanks!!!

Tania! That is an awesome video! I have been using this approach to teach my Zumba students. Thank you very much!

Hi Tania, I'm knew to youtube so not sure how to post a comment but your samba moves have shown me something I've been trying to do at zumba for the past 4 months. Thanks so much! Do you have any other youtube recordings? Kim. New Zealand

I'm ready to give it a try, now! I watched a few other videos before yours, but the instructors were either moving too quickly w/o instructions, or moving slowly enough so that I could see, but still gave no instructions. Frustrating! Thanks so much for taking time to share this lesson! Take care.

Great lesson as I am going to a Samba workshop and wanted an idea how to move my feet.

THANKS FROM AFRICAAAAAAAAAAAA !

love it!

Thanks. Now I know how to Samba!

@cherifaerie1 Hi, I will do another one of these lessons soon that will hopefully be easier to learn from. It's always a Heel (back foot), toe (front foot), Heel (back foot), then swing front leg around to the back & repeat & keep switching. Go faster & stay low to the ground. Practice makes perfect, it took me a very long time, about 1 yr. to get it. Hope this helps. Let me know how you are progressing. Please follow Tania Amthor Fitness @ Facebook, & Tania Amthor @ Twitter & Sound Cloud :)

It's like the Pony! Thanks!

@martasavila Thanks & You're welcome :) Practice makes perfect, let me know how it goes :) Please follow Tania Amthor Fitness @ Facebook, & Tania Amthor @ Twitter & Sound Cloud :)
