Wonderful Salsa DVD
Review date: 2007-11-09 Rating: 10 out of 10
I have been doing salsa for over a year, and I've seen quite a few DVDs. This is by far the best. It introduces you to advanced moves, while also underlining the basics. There's lots of rueda, and some excellent stuff on shines. I'm self-employed, so I watch it every morning while eating my breakfast. It's really going to take me to the next level of salsa.

great all-round salsa DVD instructional
Review date: 2007-09-05 Rating: 10 out of 10
This is a French instructional dubbed into English. It teaches cuban style salsa but every so often he'll surprise you and add in some 'power moves' that you'd expect out of a cross-body style video. So it's a video anyone can watch.
The thing which impressed me most about this one is that he somehow manages to bridge the gap in doing a video that can be watched by beginners, intermediates, and advanced dancers alike. The more advanced dancers get to polish their style and positioning (it's not just about moves remember ;), while the beginners have more or less a complete course to go through all on a single DVD.
Technically speaking the DVD is very professional. You get multi-angle shots (at the same time on the screen) so you're never lost as to where you should be standing/holding your partner etc.. It is well filmed in a pleasant decor & breaks up the monotony by having different female dancers and there's even a section of the DVD with a different male instructor altogether! My only critique is that you can't choose the language of the DVD. I speak French and while the dubbing is acceptable it feels uncomfortable at times with the delay and the odd obvious mis-translation. A minor point tho
