Rating: Summary: Easy to follow, great to learn Review: This is the easiest way to learn salsa and you don't even have to go to class. The video is great, it breaks down the steps and makes it so easy and fun to follow, you don't even know you are learning how to dance. I recommend this video over any other video I have tried.
Rating: Summary: A Beginner's Dream Review: Those who own DVD players know the superior quality and ease of use over VCDs and video tapes. You can see everything in slow motion with outstanding clarity and have instant access to your favourite steps by simply going to the on-screen menu. A DVD is certainly ideal for learning dance related material.Raul and Tenia begin with instructions on the basic steps and 3 basic turns (right/left/hook). Each of the 15 partner patterns is demonstrated with a count before Raul and Tenia take turns breaking down their individual steps. Finally, the combination is danced to music. What I like most about the video is the advice on styling provided by Tenia which is incorporated in each turn patterns. Most Salseras had to resort to purchasing a separate instructional DVD or video to pick up styling but you get two-in-one with Raul and Tenia here. Moreover, the video was shot against the city skyline as back drop, which makes for interesting viewing. Vol 1 is a great package for someone starting out. By the time you are finished, you are well equipped with the basic steps allowing you to hit the clubs and dance with confidence. Running time: Approx. 45 mins
