Al & Karla Espinoza: Simple but Deadly
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 […]

Seaon Stylist & Amanda Estilo: Shines for ChaCha
Seaon Stylist & Amanda Estilo: Shines for ChaCha
I can’t help being biased when it comes to Seaon’s DVDs, which I believe is most reasonable; he is one of my favourite dancers and instructors, whose DVDs I hold as among the best. The fact that this new series goes back to the roots by incorporating Amanda […]

Strictly Salsa: Men’s Styling
Strictly Salsa: Men’s Styling
This is a cleverly produced DVD which contains a potpourri of ideas and techniques for men to ‘look better’ on the dance floor. There are not many of these DVDs around, so if you guys have felt so far discriminated against, thank Strictly Salsa for taking a stand.
This potpourri includes spinning technique, […]

Seaon Stylist & Amanda Estilo: Best of Footwork vol 2
This DVD contains 7 shines, designed by Seaon and Amanda, taught by Seaon and demonstrated mostly by both. The material is quite rich, each shine covering more than 8 bars of music and characterized by moves of disparate inspiration, from classic mambo, to rumba, to jazz […]

Dave Paris & Ava Apple: Salsa Lifts & Aerials vol 1
Dave Paris & Ava Apple: Salsa Lifts & Aerials vol 1
Some people like challenges: in life, at work, in relationships; some people even take up salsa for a challenge. If in your ‘to challenge’ list there is gravity, then this DVD may be for you. The lifts and tricks of the DVD are not the […]

Strictly Salsa: Bachata Downunder
Strictly Salsa: Bachata Downunder
Lacking DVDs of native Bachata from the Dominican Republic, bachata DVDs are produced in less likely places, like Italy, US and Australia. This one comes from Australia, and the producers will make sure you are fully aware of it, dancing against a printed background of the Sydney skyline and iconic Opera House.
It […]

Nuno & Vanda: Partnerwork (adv)
Nuno & Vanda: Partnerwork (adv)
This DVD contains 6 turn patterns in pure LA style, that is On1 and with sharp, energetic and emphatic body language. The turn patterns are fairly long, so don’t be turned off by the fact that there are only 6 of them; if you do like the style, there is enough […]

Alex da Silva: Advanced 2
Short, but effective and to the point.
With a runtime of less than 20 minutes some may feel cheated when paying 40 Euros for this DVD. I, however, would like to disagree and below is my rationale:
I have taken hundreds of lessons with combos that consists of 10 8:s or more. One […]

Al Espinoza: Men’s Styling vol 2
Delivers more than expected.
Having bought many styling DVDs that mainly contains individual styling (=solo shines) I was very happy to see so many moves that you could do while dancing with your partner.
If you prepare CBLs and open breaks in only 1-3 ways this DVD should offer you some more […]

Leon Rose: Salsa London Style vol 3 (int/adv)
Leon Rose: Salsa London Style vol 3 (int/adv)
This is an excellent DVD, definitely recommended, at least for the guys. Sooner or later every salsa dancer wonders whether any new interesting turn patterns can still be created, since after so many DVDs we get the feeling that everything has been tried already. Then, once in a […]
