Summary: Craptacular
Review: Never buy any DVD by Cal Pozo. I've accidentally bought two, since Cal isn't on the cover and I hadn't noticed that he would be the one doing the instruction. By the way, the cover of the DVD looks like it's a lot more lively than it actually is.
This is extremely stiff, and you will not be impressing anyone with your moves. Honestly, this looked horrible and my entire family was laughing hysterically for the first ten minutes because we could not believe that anything could be so boring, stilted, and lame. After that we fell asleep. Please, save your money.

Summary: It Doesn't Leave The Ballroom
Review: People who want to learn latin dance need to know the difference between social dancing at a club and ballroom dancing. These guys look geriatric if you compare them to the dancing you see at salsa clubs. The least they can do is find better or more sophisticated music instead of that elevator music drivel. The tape is useful, however, and very easy to follow. I think it is a great tape for beginners but if you want to dance they way they do at the salsa club you better find real latin music and a way to spice up those moves.

Summary: 30% Sales Pitch
Review: The techniques used in teaching the steps are OK, but he never goes beyond the really basic step. At least 30% of the video is a sales pitch for more Cal Pozo dance videos. I was disappinted

Rating:
Summary: terrible
Review: This CD is terrible, it's instruction is terrible, there is little of it, I guess since it is a dance DVD maybe most of them are terrible. This DVD is not worth the money spent on it, there is little to no instruction. It looks like a dance instructor trying to make a quick buck.

Summary: A buyer from Canada
Review: This is great video if you have not had any dance instructions. However, the macarena is pretty old now and it takes up about 1/3 of the tape. Don't buy this if you have taken any lessons, it is very basic!

Rating:
Summary: Good tape
Review: This video is really informative. It is for the basic learner who has a concept of the up and back steps, and nothing more. Really good for a first timer or beginner-level dancer.

Summary: Very Very basic beginner's video
Review: This video is the most basic of the 56 Salsa/Mambo video's that I know of. It is a gentle introduction to Salsa,Mambo, Merengue. Best suited for people with no dance experience or two left feet. It is a good introduction to learning to dance from a video but if you are already going to classes you would learn these steps in your first class. I enjoyed this video.

Summary: Absolutely a Waste of Time
Review: This was my first introduction to merengue, and I must say it is horrible now that I know what REAL merengue is. I lived in New York for a year, and learned the real stuff, which is nothing like Carl teahces you. The music on the video is not even merengue. He doesnt even teach very many spin moves which is the best part of merengue.
