After the satisfactory sales result, the commercialization of the VHS materialized in May 1996 and the home video started to be found in the main stores in Brazil, in addition to rental stores. VHS brings the show of the second phase (1995), but without the majority of Xuxa's interactions with the public, without the guests who sang between the blocks and the performances of You Can Dance. The VHS edition did not have a base show as in the subsequent releases of Xuxa, but rather a mix of several recordings from the tour, including some shows from 1994.
