This is a very mediocre Salsa Dance DVD and the price is too high. For starters, the colors used in filming this DVD are very depressing and this guy (the instructor) would not shut up … you can’t even hear the music. All you hear is one two three, one two threee …

After going over and mastering the style and movements from Vol. 1, you have been promoted to Step 2. This one includes some rather intricate dance moves. You will learn the “Inside Turn,” which can be done a number of ways; the “Hammerlock,” “Cross Body Lead” and other moves. The speed is increased and Evan once again dances with the beautiful Moira Denike. They are both delightful to watch, listen to and learn from.
I like the inclusion of etiquette in dance venues and the importance of hygiene. After an intense bout of dancing, expect to sweat. Evan and Moira provide gently worded suggestions and tips regarding same. If you are serious about learning the Salsa, you can’t find better than Evan and Moira.

My friend once told me that if you wanna feel good and sexy try salsa. I completely agree with her now, of cos then I thot salsa wasn’t my cup of tea. This dance seemed very complicated and I always had the impression that only real good dancers would be able to do salsa.
M glad I changed my mind and bought this wonderful DVD for beginners, the steps are so well defined and pictured that you would find them so easy to catch. The instructors make Salsa dancing all the more fun; they are so peppy and lively that anyone who sees them dance would be mesmerized by their moves and rhythm. You can watch the steps from all angles as they are shot in all dimensions.
There is nothing more romantic then a fast salsa dance with your sweetheart but are you up to it? If you have never tried it and you are afraid, time to shed any inhibition the ultimate guide to Salsa is here. This is a great purchase for beginners and for all those who want to learn salsa at home.
Highly recommendable!

I used to salsa when I was a kid. My best friend’s Mom taught us so I knew the basics but this DVD was perfect for me. A refresher, if you will, `cause it was a bit of review of what I already knew which was good. I had forgotten quite a lot. But the coolest thing about it was that it wasn’t boring. Not your garden variety “do step 1, step 2, step 3, repeat”. I mean it’s an instructional DVD so there’s some repetition but the instructors kept it really interesting. I even picked up a couple moves to try out at Salsa night this weekend.

Well despite my reason for first using the Learn to Dance Salsa DVDs (see my LTD Salsa 1 review), I was impressed enough to continue learning the lessons on the first DVD and then get my own copy of Learn to Dance Salsa Beginners’ volume 2 and 3.
The first one was great because there was a lot of information taught but it was spoon fed at a pace that even the most remedial beginner could keep up with. This second DVD is equally well designed because though it’s still a beginners’ DVD, it’s made for beginners who have some experience with Salsa dancing. And I’ve got to say, my learning curve was faster this go `round. The hammerlock, hand drops, checks, cross body leads, plus new combinations that build on the ones from the first DVD and incorporate the new moves …I’ve got it all down, and look pretty good doing it too.
