Summary: The most enjoyable Salsa teachers on the market
Review: The most enjoyable fun Salsa teachers on the market. A lovely young couple who love to dance & teach. Diana is the most enjoyable female Salsa teacher on the market. Great sense of humor. Very enjoyable. The teachers have fun & enjoy what they are showing you.
I & my female partners No.1 most enjoyable video to learn Salsa from.
The video is good value, 52 min long , well produced good pause but they most importantly have a SLOW MOTION ON ALL COMPLEX MOVES as well as the normal speed , plus the breakdown of the steps. They give you both forward & back views plus both sides for cross body leads. They do not over detail the footwork but I feel it does not matter as you can rewind. They add several styling combinations to a move so you can choose what you like. They teach the women how to be sexy, dramatic, & romantic. They give the men tips on what behavior women find acceptable & what is not. These tips on how to avoid being slapped!!! are a must view for all male dancers.
The teachers give you warnings on possible injuries on the turns to protect your partners.
The video is full of useable steps & combinations. I enjoyed the fact they explained how to make the common combinations out ot the steps shown. They show steps in the video that nobody else does but also give you the most common steps.
Although there are some known NY steps. I feel these videos could also be used by LA style dancers as well.

Summary: fantastic!
Review: the only word that i can say about this video is: FANTASTIC! 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.

Summary: Lots of fun, and good quality DVD
Review: The reviewers are right-- Juan and Diana are a kick to watch. I've never met them (no, I'm not a groupie), but seeing them in action makes one wish one could be in New York checking out their dance troupe. So much energy! The steps are explained clearly with memorable (if non-standard) names, and the DVD is of good quality. For a beginning salsa dancer, I would recommend this DVD, the steps are explained extraordinarily well and there's everything one one tape to make a guy (or gal) feel amply ready for the clubs. This video's timing is "on one" rather than New York-style "on two" timing, despite the "New York Salsa" name (so it's appropriate for those in other parts of the country as well). Recommended.

Summary: Not a Good Deal!
Review: This DVD cost a lot and you get so little. I was not pleased with the quality. I could buy 2 other DVDs for the price of this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: This DVD is excellent! I love how they break down and name the fundamental dance steps. Once you conquer the fundamentals, the fancy combinations will come much easier to you. Each combination consist of the fundamental moves you learned in the beginning of the dvd. Excellent buy! I have all 3 dvd's...
