Rating: Summary: Best beginners Salsa DVD Review: NY STYLE - Level = Absolute Beginners The Red Hot DVD's lessons are divided into chapters meaning you can skip to the lesson you want or you can repeat the lesson for as long as you want. The case comes with a written menu to find a step or reply a step. This Salsa DVD starts off with a demonstration of the style of Salsa taught by Ron & Bethana. Ron & Bethana are teaching what I describe as the fourth major Salsa style. This style of Salsa is international. I have never been to a country yet or nightclub where someone was not teaching or dancing this style. I am not sure of this style's history so it may have started in New York. In my current city over 75% of the Salsa schools teach their basic techniques this way. This DVD has a huge market. This couple teach a very smooth flowing Salsa. This DVD video teaches you the fundamentals of Salsa. They both take turns teaching so you get both sexes views & steps. They break the steps down for both sexes so if you are single you can learn the steps as well. Ron counts the beats + Quick Quick Slow + adds music. They teach Cuban motion for the basic step. They break the steps down in directions like front, side, back. They give you options for these basic steps. They teach basic combinations so you can add the steps all together to produce a good flow. This is a good basic very detailed DVD video to teach a good flowing Salsa. It is suitable for couples or singles. I would also recommend this video for beginner Salsa teachers. Note : This is one of my most favorite styles of Salsa. I use this style for Salsa Romantic & for modern NY Salsa music. This is an On 2 NY style in the intermediate & advanced DVD videos..
