Cal Pozo & partner showing how to dance salsa with partner showing basic steps, under arm turn, cross step lead. They teach both guy & girl & the music they dance to when showing full tempo dancing demo is much better then the music from the workout. This is one of the least boring dance instructions I’ve seen.

Pros:

Good dance form from the dancers

Almost perfect production quality

A lot of good practice of steps before moving on

Cons:

Lack of detailed teaching, it could use a separate section for teaching like Zumba does

Lack of enthusiasm or heart from the dancers, seemed more a chore almost

Music is almsot disco, lacks a beat, almsot elevator style

Dance never goes to full fast Latin tempo, almost slow, you don’t get get hot or break a sweat.

This is best for beginners looking for easy workout & who can learn dance moves w/limited teaching. The idea is great, but because of the cons it’s not going to get it’s target audience.
