I totally enjoyed this video. Lisa’s dancing was wonderful – a level to aspire to. Dave’s explanations were clear and well thought out. I especially liked the way he explained how to lead in a way that avoids injury to both the leader AND the person he is leading – I’ve danced with a few people I’d like to give this video to! I also like his use of slow motion on the most complex lift – very helpful. I will definitely look for more of their vidoes.

I bought the video after watching Lisa and Dave dance. I was very impressed with their moves and style. I’ve had the video for over 2 years and I still consistently watch it. Dave is great at explaining all the moves, including what mistakes to avoid, very important for dips. He makes it easy to follow. I’m not a professional dancer, I’ve been taking lessons and the video is a great tool. I personally love the solos. If you want to look good at a club this is the video to buy!

The dips and lifts part is good. There isn’t much instruction for the woman on this video other than curl your arm, keep clean lines, and other few things pointed out. I guess if you have a good leader and you are a good follower you wouldn’t need much. I was disappointed with the solo part. I was expecting more instruction but she just does her thing and i guess you are supposed to learn by watching. I really would have preferred a breakdown. They did include a breakdown in the lifts that follow the solo. Overall, its pretty good, especially for the men or anyone leading, but found a little lacking on the woman’s part.

I would recommend this tape to anyone out there. The moves are excellant and well presented. If anything the lighting could have been better and there was too much space on the set such that the people seem to be too far back and you can’t see their facial details. These are minor details however in the dance scheme of things. Good work overall.

Highly recommended. This is the only video I can recommend for dips, lifts & couples styling. This is one of the best Salsa instruction videos I have seen.
This is a great video for intermediate to advanced dancers who want to learn dips & lifts for social nightclubs right up to demonstrations & competitions.
Lisa Perez and Dave Morgan cover the gentle beginner dips to some very advanced dips & lifts.
I was very impressed with the common sense of the instruction. It covers how to behave in a nightclub, how to clear space for the dips & lifts, and how to protect the female.
This is a very detailed & long video.
A demo is given showing how to use the move with in a pattern of moves. Then the move is broken down giving very detailed instruction. Common mistakes are covered. Variations of the moves are given. There are written instructions of the key points on the video.
The instruction covers both On 1 & On 2 dancers.
The styling in this video is great. The solo’s at the end are a great way to show off. In fact the female styling is amongst the best I have ever seen in a video. The solo’s with joined shines & lifts were great. Styling is covered for all the moves in this video.
Lisa and Dave are advanced dancers who cover all the common sense rules to protect & show off your female.
Well worth buying.
