Al & Karla Espinoza: Simple but Deadly

As someone who has been taking classes for over a year, but still struggle with more advanced patterns and movements, this DVD has been a godsend for me. I think the shame of the video is me thinking to myself when watching “Why didn’t I think of this stuff?”

I love Al’s playful nature. I would have loved to hear more input from Karla. I enjoyed Al’s videos with Edie. But I guess because this video was more for men than women, she really didn’t have to give any tips or opinions.

The only problem I have with this DVD is the abrupt shutting off of the music after a demonstration. It was jarring, and for a DVD with so many professional touches and a stylish look…it was very “low-budget”. But that really is my only complaint. Al and Karla’s DVDs will become staples in my instructional library. I just hope they can find someone to fade the music out after a demo, instead of just shutting it off abruptly, because any fool can do that.
