Carlos ‘el Unico Bachatero’: Bachata Building Blocks vol 1

 As the name suggests this DVD is meant to take you from zero knowledge of the dance to dancing a reasonable social Bachata. It does so by introducing the basic steps, the basic turns for man and lady, the basic concepts of leading and following and some […]

Melissa Fernandez: Mel’s Moves: Ladiesstyling on1

The purpose of this DVD is to learn what Melissa does: what she does when she styles, when she spins, when she goes into solo shines, so that you won’t need to drive yourself crazy trying to film her at congresses or scrutinise her on YouTube. You can just learn […]

Johnny Vazquez: Descarga 54
 
If you have followed salsa for a few years, you will surely remember being amazed in the late 90s at Johnny’s supersonic triple back spins, his splits, his acrobatics, his energy plus much more. After many years he has released this DVD, his first and well overdue. I had lost contact with […]

Raul & Shelina: Bachata

This is a good DVD, surely one of the best Bachata videos around to date. At first you may get a shock at seeing two dancers in full ballroom performance attire demonstrating Bachata, this is not the look we are used to associating with the dance, but in 2009 we are learning […]

Boogalu Prod: R. Borell: Cuban Dance Instruction

This is my favourite DVD from Boogalu Production: it contains unique material, very detailed instruction (which is not always easy to find in Cuban dancing) and an implicit tour into the history of salsa which is extremely instructive; the result is a must have, in my opinion, for serious […]

Saltuya: Advanced Turnpatterns on1 and on2

There is something rustic about this DVD which I like. Randolph and Coco seem to be two down-to-earth dancers who with no frills, want to show us some advanced turn patterns. I can almost imagine the hypothetical scene: you see some fancy figures on the dance floor and you go […]

Yvonne Goldsmith & Krin Bajough: Spin

What a pleasant surprise I got from watching this DVD! I have seen many spinning DVDs, from very famous instructors and schools, including dancers world-renown for their very spinning; some are good some less so, but I did not expect to find basically all I wished to see in a […]

SwinGuys: SalsaSwing vol 1

Salsa is a fairly conservative world, especially today with the trend of rediscovering old style mambo and afro-cuban roots. So, how come that a group of 4 Italian guys dancing swing could suddenly because so popular in the salsa world? The answer is refreshingly simple, because they are extraordinary dancers. If you […]

Salsa with Tomaj: Latin Motion DeMystified

If you were born in the Caribbean or in Africa, you would probably wonder why anyone should need to learn the ‘Latin motion’. Similarly, if you have danced salsa for many years, you may not even remember the days when you needed to learn how to coordinate the movement of […]

Hacha y Machete: Int/Adv Turnpatterns on2

We can safely expect quality from HyM and this is what you get from this DVD: eight turn patterns from one of the best performing couples currently around. If you think that eight turn patterns are not that many fear not, since each pattern is 14-16 bars of music long, […]
