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

I found this to be an enjoyable instructional DVD and would recommend it to my friends without hesitation.

I'm not a dance. Never have been. I am, however health conscious and I wanted something fun to get me moving again. The Learn to Dance Salsa DVD 1 for Beginners was ideal. I had fun just listening to the music and trying to mimic the dance moves the instructors were demonstrating and somewhere along the way, I actually learned to Salsa; The basics, anyway.

The DVD is fun, it's educational (check out the features) and worth picking up, whether you're actually looking to learn how to Salsa or just trying to get active.

This video was great in teaching the fundamentals as well as hints and important things to remember for each lesson. For the beginners, this is a wonderful video. I would recommend for those whose have the basic step down already to purchase the 2nd one at the same time. My husband and I went through the beginners DVD really quickly. He's danced (unstructured) Salsa and had to "un-learn" some of the improper things that prohibit good flow between a couple. Overall a wonderful video. The gentleman in the video is a natural teacher, that helps.

I found this entire DVD series from SalsaCrazy to be pleasing. On this first DVD, the instruction was excellent. Not only were the steps given easy to follow but there was also an inset close-up of the move to which helped me ensure that I was executing moves correctly. The head instructors on this DVD were Evan and Moira, both of which users of the full series will see again in subsequent DVDs.

If you have yet to purchase a SalsaCrazy instructional DVD considering the set as each video builds on what was taught in the previous one. My reviews of the other beginner DVDs in the series, Learn to Dance Salsa: Beginners Volume 2 and Learn to Dance Salsa: Beginners Volume 3 are also posted on this site

As a nondancer preparing for a conference in Puerto Rico that will feature a Salsa night, I found this video met my needs in all respects. I was able to follow the clear instructions and learn at my own pace. I also liked the history of salsa section. If I enjoy dancing in Puerto Rico, I'll definitely order the other volumes in this series.
