Recientemente recibi este DVD y quede encantada con el mismo. Me encanto el sentir que realmente me estaba ejercitando a la vez que practicaba una pequeña coreografia de uno de mis bailes favoritos que es la salsa. Una de las cosas que mas me agrada es que este video conserva el verdadero sabor latino que envuelve y caracteriza a este ritmo. Hasta ahora la unica forma en que disfrutaba de bailar salsa era con una pareja, pero ahora puedo bailar por mi cuenta a la vez que obtengo un muy buen ejercicio.

I was expecting a lot of moving, not repetition of complicated steps. I used to teach beginning ballroon dancing and this was even complicated for me. Salsa dancing can be very cardio, but the “somewhat” cardio section was very short. If you’re looking for a workout this is not the video for you.

THE VIDEO WASN’T AS FUN AS I EXPECTED THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 4-5 BASIC STEPS. AS FOR THE DANCERS IN THE BACK THEY LOOK LIKE ID AREN’T REALLY INTO IT. THIS IS NOT TEACHING YOU HOW TO DANCE SALSA AS IT SAY OR THE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND IS NOT SALSA.

Do not buy this or any of Lisa’ videos if you are looking for Salsa. This is a slick marketing product to sell an exercise video in which she is not dancing Salsa but rather dancing Mambo….and very poorly at that. If you are looking to exercise to Salsa you will be confused…..If you are looking to learn Salsa you will not learn it.

The steps and music are fine. I do think, once you get the steps, it is a great cardio workout. The downsides-I had fun at the beginning, but like others, I found the long combination sequences repetitive and long. Nonetheless, those who stated that the moves were hard had good reason. A huge problem was that Lisa and her dancers face you. They need to switch up and dance with their backs to you! When facing you only, you can’t see what the legs are doing in the back. Additionally, when copying the mirror image, the opposite leg (ie:right) to the one that dancers are using (left) will go back on “1″. It just gets very confusing at times because you cannot get the gestalt of the moves when you see the dancers at one angle.
It would also be good in the breakdown of the basic steps segment not to simply say “good” or “nice” after one time of teaching the move. Do it several times (facing front and back) slowly, then speed it up. Instead of having one bonus step and silly outtakes (sorry, they are not hilarious, as the DVD suggests), perhaps introduce 5 or 6 other steps that we could use.
