Learn to Salsa Dance Video Series, Vol 1: Salsa Dancing Guide for Beginners

The instruction is easy to follow and excellently performed. I would recommend this DVD highly.

I will say this I'm Hispanic so I did know some Salsa before I purchased this DVD. I wanted to learn some advanced moves and I realized before I purchased this video that prob wasn't for me. It wasn't but it did teach me some basic concepts in general. It also taught me how to turn. I'm a natural dancer but it gave me concrete steps which I just do without thinking. That being said I do believe this will teach ANYBODY to dance. He gives so much detail and repetition there is no way you won't be able to pick it up. I love the hand tricks. Also I didn't have a partner and this a partner video. Don't buy if you have dance experience.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow. My husband has absolutely no rythym and he picked up the steps.

I bought this for my son who wants to learn how to dance, but decided against giving it to him becuase I don't want him to learn this style of dancing. If you have never danced before I guess you can get something out of the DVD lessons. A couple of warnings: first, the instructor is teaching an "On 1" style, not "On 2" (NYC style salsa dancing). This is a major style difference. Most annoying is the slow pace of the DVD -- largely becuase this guys talks too much! At the end of disc 1 all you have learned is a very basic turn that he calls a "salsa pattern". There are much better products on the market -- beware of the stuff from the west coast -- it seems a little too basic for a beginner (sounds strange doesn't it?), and definitely too basic for someone who wants to improve.

This DVD is very easy to follow and gives several good tips on the basics of salsa dancing. I've practiced with several beginers who were able to grasp the basics right away. The intstructor is very encouraging though a little cheesy. It's a great way to improve your confidence before going out dancing.
