A friend and I purchased Josie Neglia’s videos and found them to be excellent tapes all around. Very well done.

DO NOT BUY THIS VIDEO!! Save your money! This one of the most poorly done instructional videos I have seen! I hope following reasons will help others to make a more informed choice:
1. Video: Quality was very poor as ,any instructional videos tend to be.
2. Sound: For some reason the instructers voice was dubbed with another voice. But the dubbing was only occasionally, so you end up with the instructor speaking partly with her voice and partly with it dubbed. It makes no sense and was very annoying to listen to.
3. Footwork: The footwork was shown very fast paced which makes it very difficult to understand and replicate the steps even after multiple viewings.
I have been dancing for many years but have just begun Salsa dancing. I have seen many instructional videos but have never seen one as poorly put together as this one.
For people looking for a suggestion as to a good Salsa choice in an instructional video, Learn to Salsa Vol 1 & 2 with Tenia. I very well produced video series with great instructional footage.

i’m an intermediate/advance dancer – the steps are great for beginners – i found the steps too basic for intermediate dancers.
The quality of the tape is not that great (can’t get a clear picture when you pause it or slow-play it
lessons are explained very thoroughly – i would recommend this video to intermediate/beginner dancers.

Many of the dance videos are too basic. This one may err the other way. I had taken a Salsa class, so thought I could move to levels three and four. I was wrong. I’ll see what happens when I go back to the first tape which has levels I & II. Although they do go through the steps slowly, one time, because there are so many combinations, it requires multiple replays for me to get the hang of it. I would much prefer to have seen them break down the steps one at a time rather than doing the whole combination. I’ll check back in after trying the more basic steps.

This video is definitely not for beginners! Get the first video if you are, there are plenty of nice steps and variations there. Josie breaks down each partners step individually, making it easy to follow. The level 4 part “Hot steps and trick” (or something like that) is pretty lame for my taste. I was expecting more partner to partner dancing but turned out to be include several solo steps. Overall, I found this tape to be very good for two reasons:
1. She knows how to dance!!! (unlike some other video instructors)
2. Each step is repeated at least four times before moving on to the next.
