Summary: They Make It Easy & Fun...WONDERFUL!
Review: I was a bit hesitant at first to purchase this DVD after a few of the "quality" remarks in a few reviews. By quality, I mean, the physical DVDs... I began figuring they may be "competition" (cause they read as such)or others that received a bad DVD...and didn't bother to return for a new one. I then read some of the other reviews and went for it! I am certainly glad I did! The instruction is very complete and easy to follow. I have seen actual classes that I can't follow but Juan and Diana certainly understand how to teach the steps and in a very fun way... by the way, Diana comes across a bit sassy but I like that!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Full of steps I like & use.
Review: I was watching this video with a group of my Advanced social Lady dancers & within 2 minutes of this video playing Diana had all of us smiling & laughing. The interplay between Juan & Diana keep us smiling & laughing throughout this video. They are fun teachers who enjoy their Salsa dancing & teaching.
This couple are the first Salsa teachers I have seen on video that I would like to take classes with. Their Salsa classes must be fun.

Although this video is not called a Ladies Spin video I feel it is great for this. The video is full of double, triple & quadruple turns right up to the 20's + spins. Diana gives some great tips on Ladies spinning.
The video is also full of Ladies styling tips.

The step combinations are shown & taught on ONE & on TWO so all dancers can learn the steps. The steps are danced to music on ONE & on TWO. This video teaches one of the most famous steps, the "Coffee Grinder". I have seen this step being taught in other Salsa videos but I like Juan & Diana version of teaching it the best.

As most of the steps in this video were being shown. The ladies with me were calling out, 'Neal's social'. Most of the steps in this video are what I like to use with my Advanced Social Ladies.
This video is full of steps I like to use. This video was like watching my favourite moves been shown. My styling is different than that used in this video so I was able to get some new endings or variations of the steps. As all the turn combinations are shown with several different styling & endings or versions you end up with some impressive steps.
The moves by Super Mario from England were nice.

The video is very good value for money. It is a good length & the picture quality is amazing.

This video is a great introduction to Advanced Salsa. I am looking forward to seeing their new videos they are producing this year 2002.

Summary: Woh!!!
Review: I watched some of this hoping to learn a lil bit more and I must say that it seems good and the slow motion portion does help out those who are beginning, but I can't help but not to stare at Diane's a$$. Its just out there, especially in those pants, it's nice too. But the dancing is good as well, don't get me wrong. The bangin apple bottom alone gave it a 4star but the dancing was good, a lot of turns and stuff, but they take it slow for you to learn. But WOH, it is nice!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: the only word that i can say about this video is: AMAZING! Juan and Diana are great teachers. they have a fan way of teaching, i had a lot of fun watching this video and i learned a lot too. they break and down all the steps and they are very easy to learn. If you are looking for a good instructional salsa video, i recomend, this is the best one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun & Fab
Review: This DVD is very well thought out. However you really do need to be advanced to learn the sequences as Diana & Juan move very quickly - (it can be difficult to know when buying on the net.) Great for teachers or advanced dancers wishing to learn new moves for their sequence.
