Salsa Crazy Presents: Learn to Salsa Dance, Intermediate Series, Volume 1

Wow! This DVD is amazing. You learn so much in the two hours of instruction. I love that they took the time to focus on better footwork rather than just this turn and that and that the patterns keep you moving. There are more than a dozen, complex, innovative and fun patterns. Plus, they take time to point out what so many of the not-worth-mentioning partners I’ve had in the past neglected to think about: that at this level of Salsa dancing you can’t just do dance moves without taking your partner into consideration; that there has to be some sort of connection there. The Learn to Salsa Dance Intermediates volume 1 was so helpful in helping me to better my dancing.

Learn to Salsa Dance 1 is for dancers who are skilled and who are looking for more than an 8-count and direction on where the hand or foot should be on each count. If that’s you then this is for you.

What you can expect from this DVD is to get your feet moving because the focus is footwork and more complex patterns. It requires a lot of work, a lot of concentration, and a partner who can keep up with you. If you’ve got that, you’ll have tons of fun. The patterns are innovative in that they are made up of a lot of common Salsa moves but how they are put together keeps them interesting. In the course of doing this DVD, you’ll learn the hook step, double right and left turns, more than a dozen patterns and a Salsa Crazy Signature move. As you go into this DVD, keep in mind that the idea is to learn more than just patterns. It’s about learning how to connect better with your partner and to make the dance look like you and your partner are working in sync with one another rather than as two people dancing together. It’s a hard thing to learn but with the tips that the instructors give, it makes getting this concept a little easier.

I had a lot of fun using Salsa Crazy’s instructional DVDs for intermediate level dancers. The instructors give some really good advice on how to better execute simpler moves and have created some nice, fun patterns that really help you to develop your Salsa dancing skills. I think the pacing of the DVD is excellent–the instructors tell you what we’re going to do, with a brief demo here and there, and then we do it. Simple. I enjoyed the entire experience but mostly I appreciated the fact that the entire lesson was for intermediate level folks likes myself and not simplified for the sake of being user-friendly to dancers of lesser skill levels.

This DVD is for Salsa lovers who are capable on the dance floor but are humble enough to know they can always learn more. Fear not: You will not be stuck listening to minute after minute of explanation before you can get your salsa hips moving. The lesson is fast-paced and if you’re looking for some innovative patterns, that is exactly what you’ll get. Make sure that your shoes are tied this DVD is heavy on the new footwork. Learning to sense your partner’s movements and connecting with them is also a big focus.
