    This is the one style of salsa that I don’t like. See for yourself. The female instructor did a quite good job, compared to other salsa instructional DVDs out there. But still this is salsa done ugly.

    Do NOT buy this DVD if you want to learn how to dance salsa properly. I can tell just from the preview that these two are definitely not dancers. They have horrible technique, don’t know how to count music, and have no feeling. They’re not even wearing dance shoes! As a salsa instructor, I strongly encourage anyone who is trying to learn how to dance to look elsewhere!

    I was very unimpressed with this DVD. Yes, the video was filmed well and worked well with the multiple angles. But the dancing was very confusing. The basic step is backwards from anything I’ve ever seen and I’ve been dancing for 5 years in the U.S. and Latin America. And they made up ridiculous names for each move. All in all, the DVD was useless and pointless. There are a lot of good dance instruction DVD’s out there and this is not one of them.

    I didn’t like this video. It’s purely cuban salsa. The instructors aren’t mastering basic dance principles. Technically speaking, very poor. The only good thing about this video is the way they introduce the different camera angles.

    I’ve taken dance lessons from a variety of instructors, and what I saw on this DVD is unlike anything that I’ve learned. This is not a good thing. This DVD doesn’t really cover all of the basic moves one would expect a DVD for beginners should cover. It covers some basic steps and then launches into intermediate moves. Also, the man in the DVD is not very skilled. It looks as though he was pulled off the street and given a crash course in salsa, and not a very good course at that. As a DVD for beginners, it gets two stars. If it were for intermediate students, I would give it three or four. As for the DVD’s marketing campaign, I give it five. It suckered me.
