It's so refreshing to find a cardio/dance teacher with a chill, authentic, relaxing personality. Super fun choreography, too. More like this please!

This helped so much with my depression thanks for the workout 😊

[@melissafishel3776]

I love Selena's voice! I would workout with her anyday!

[@SelenaWatkins]

that is the sweetest compliment ever! Thank you!

[@chanelnumber12]

traditional exercise feels like a chore to me and I needed to find something that was fun. I love dancing and haven't done it in a while cause I'm so out of shape lol but this video was such a good time and I sweated my ass off!! I look forward to my new fitness journey and more of these videos!

[@semoneg2826]

Like a chore lol

[@abbiemannenbach]

This is the best workout Popsugar has had in awhile! Selena kept us moving the whole time and added new moves at the perfect pace. She trusted that we would catch onto the movements even if we didn't get it the first time and didn't dwell on each step too long before moving on, knowing that she would repeat the dance so many times. Please bring Selena back soon - this was excellent!

[@aidachel]

yes yes yes!

[@destinymarston3609]

The teachers personality made it so much easier to follow this without feeling insecure. Super fun!

[@MSMETALBABY]

This dance style makes working out SOOO much more enjoyable! Thank you! 💖

[@OndwelaThomu]

This dance helps when I'm stressed out and my brain feels so relaxed😊 loving it so much❤

[@PS_Fit]

Dance workouts are so good to relieve stress! Love that!

[@kingkamala39]

I grew up dancing and haven’t done many classes since I graduated college in may 2022, let me tell you this class kicked my butt 😂

[@CHLOPATRAAA]

I’ve been doing this workout for a week now and i still haven’t mastered doing it full out all the way through. This workout is AWESOME, it’s fun and i feel good doing it. I grew up as a dancer but stopped when I graduated high school 5 years ago. I’ve done a few classes here and there but nothing that made me feel a burn like this. It feels like week one of drill team conditioning almost 😂😂😂 thank you for putting your time and effort into crafting these videos!!!!! Im also a new mom and trying to find new ways to get back active and want to enjoy the process. Thank you again, seriously -- another reason i chose this video to follow is because i read that trauma is stored in the hips and I noticed my hips felt really stiff after giving birth a few months back. Also what better way to loosen up my hips and back than to follow a carribean dance video!

[@atheabakken5144]

This brought back the sparkle to my brain after an awful day🥰

[@kirazinn]

❤️ most of the caribbean dance moves 👍 this was fun and sweaty to do. I got better the more we repeat the dance choreography. Please come back again someday👍❤️🙂

[@SOCANOMICS]

Thank you queen!

[@krystal-alicia]

The best dance workout on KZbin

[@roamathomeusllc]

Not really a gym person, but this is a workout that’s fun to do! Thank you 🎉

[@jessmaxwellazad3279]

We love Selena we need more videos with her energy and dances kept me motivated

[@simaykazc1508]

Selena Watkins! You made my day with your sincere smile and lovely moves. I could totally feel that you were moving from your heart! Thnks

[@hindabdelrhafor6425]

i have to comment on this. I am all sweaty.. trust me I was very depressed and skeptical about exercising but I did it anyway and i am so grateful for myself and for you guys!! you rock!! thank youuuuuuuu

[@EvaAerobic.Fitness]

The video offers a dynamic and enjoyable Caribbean cardio dance workout led by Selena Watkins. The lively and culturally infused session provides a unique blend of fitness and entertainment. Gratitude to Selena for creating a workout that not only energizes the body but also lifts the spirits with its joyful and inclusive approach.

[@purplereign6717]

Im using this to tape into my feminine energy. I love this

[@wellkaster]

i'm dripping in sweat, yet smiling ear to ear! Thanks for the workout!!

[@denise2823]

My first time doing this workout, but definitely not my last. The instructor is everything! Thanks for creating something that is accomplishable for the everyday person.

[@janicechilcoat6355]

Loved this. BIOSTASIS!!! YUP!! First time doin your routine today. Love love love it and the music, rhythm,beats, uplifting. I'm a 58 yr old woman in L.A. Spent life dancing, active but lately afflicted with arthritis and auto immune something or other. (Rebuking that). Wanna encourage people to give it try. Don't be intimidated. I simply use caution on how far I reach or stretch and stay with single time as opposed to double time due to my arthritic limitations. Personalize it for your capabilities. I promise you'll be reaching and stretching farther sooner in no time. This work out is excellent and is easily modified to your personal ability. Give it a try. Been battling depression but just finished workout and I feel great!!! Hallelujah. Thank you Sisters in Dance,movement and BIOSTASIS!!!.😆💜

[@bougainvilleababy1295]

Omgggg! I got so excited when you said you were from Antigua! Me too!! Big up yourself, babes!!! 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬

[@elalmagitana]

This was just such beautiful uplifting feminine energy!! Thanks!!

[@MaleahDiggs15]

💃🏾😍 Excellent Caribbean dance workout! It's such a feel good workout that makes me feel like I'm on the beach! Selena's awesome! It's great to see her back on Popsugar! I did her workouts dozens of times, and I enjoyed it! She kept us moving the whole time and added new moves at the perfect pace. She trusted that we would catch onto the movements even if we didn't get it the first time and didn't well on each step too long before moving on, knowing that she would repeat the dance so many times. Love the black girl magic representation in this video! Such a fun, refreshing workout! I'm definitely doing this again! Thanks, Selena 😊❤

[@J28-ge9lb]

Loved it .I'm on a body strengthening journey to build muscles and endurance whist allowing myself to have fun.

I'm so happy and thank you for making these videos and being a part of my journey as of date!

this choreography makes me feel like an african goddess. Thank you so much¡¡

[@production9340]

I’m from Russia, and I so like this training, thank you! ❤

[@heathermcneilly8748]

I've been struggling with motivation, focus and depression for a wHile and this dance video was so helpful for bringing my energy back up!!! Dancing is one of my ways to break the depression or low energy.... but it's not always as fun to just be dancing "alone". I'm a beginner dancer and this video was so easy to follow!!! Even if I fell back a couple steps it was easy to catch up to where they were at or just go with the flow. She really walks you through and has such good vibes!!!! Thank you, thank you!!

[@np-gi6vz]

I always keep coming back to this one. It just makes my body feel so good after and after you get the steps it just feels so fluid. i do this one at least once a week and I finally don't really need a break (but I am sweaty 😊). Thank you!!

[@queenking5645]

This had my everything sweating but will most definitely be doing it again

[@Beca7093]

Incrível!!!! I'm honored to have done this class and so happy to move more each day! Um grande abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

That was so fun thank you especially the shirt waving at the end

[@MZTWIZZY]

I am sooooo happy I came across this video. I was having so much fun while sweating. I was all over the place trying to get it right 😂Even though I was doing some of the moves wrongs, it still felt so good and her voice and energy is so motivating! At one point she says something to the extent of “even if you’re doing it wrong, that’s even better because I know you’re giving it your all” and it made me grind/dance harder 🙌🏾 Starting weight 302. So excited to drop a update in the upcoming months 💜 THANK YOU FOR THIS! 🥹💜🙏🏾

I always knew about dance workouts but for some reason I never tried them. I mainly just did the more traditional workouts throughout. However, a few weeks ago I discovered this channel and a couple of days ago I decided to actually incorporate the dance workouts into my workout routine and I LOVE it!! These are so fun! Especially as someone with a passion for dancing, I'm really enjoying myself while still getting a proper workout in! Thank you for sharing these workouts with us ❤ :)

[@artsymoments]

This is such an incredible workout !!! It truly connects your mind, body, and soul to the culture of dancing. She has a great personality it makes me laugh and enjoy the experience.
