Honestly, I enjoyed watching this video. The bloopers were great, too. But I really didn’t care for the combos so much. None of them would I use on any social dance setting. I am into performances, but I would rather watch Emily Alabi, Salsa y Control (Johnny and Andres Giraldo), Cobo Brothers, Al Espanoza, or Eddie the salsa freak. On the other hand, I really don’t like salsa competition (namely Mayan salsa competition).
Is this video entertaining? Yes. But do I find it useful? No!
On top of that the music selection for this video is very bad.

An excellent instructional video, with some weaknesses. The level is intermediate-advanced to advanced. Rogelio’s agility is incredible; his technique is clean-cut and flashy. Josie needs no introductions, she’s superb. Their count is 123/567, LA style. If you dance other styles of Salsa you’d have to make some adjustments.
The video shows every step and turn pattern once without music and twice with music. This is how they are able to condense a maximum number of steps and patterns in a total of 45 minutes, which, unfortunately, comes at the expense of explanation. I suppose they gloss over much explanation because the video is geared towards the advanced dancer; personally, however, I would prefer a bit more elaboration on some of the more complicated stuff. Also, the steps are shown only from the front. I would have much preferred that it would all be shown from both front and back angles. Finally, some of the material is not easy to lead to an unsuspecting follower.
Overall, if your technique is solid and you’re looking for some flashy stuff, especially for performances, you won’t be disappointed. It takes a lot of work to master this video. Make sure you’ve got an advanced partner, and a lot of floor space to practice.

I love Josie’s Videos because they actually attempt to teach advanced dance. Both her her and Rogelio are great dancers!
This video contains some jaw dropping moves. I definately have found my favorite dance series in any style of dancing. I would love to have a class with Josie and learn more about the techniques she shows. Video teching is hard to do, but she does a great job.
THANKS JOSIE FOR PUTTING TOGETHER A GREAT SERIES OF DANCE VIDEOS. I OWN ALMOST ALL OF THEM AND THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Unable to purchase this Video in Manchester, England, I took a chance and ordered Josie’s Salsa Advanced Variations Video. I was very excited and pleased to see the high class dance sequences that both Josie and Rogelio teach. Step by Step, they go through the moves, first the lady, then the man, then partnered. The shines for both women and men are so professional and challenging to the advanced salsa enthusiast. At last I found someone who can teach high quality salsa at it’s best! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this Video.
