Seaon Stylist & Amanda Estilo: Ultimate Salsa/Mambo Styling

Seaon Stylist & Amanda Estilo: Ultimate Salsa/Mambo Styling

This DVD does not contain any turn pattern, rather it focuses on styling which you can incorporate in your dancing. These sorts of products are well needed in the salsa literature, but they are very hard to produce. There is an intrinsic contradiction between teaching some styling inevitably […]

Santo Rico: Salsa/Mambo Basics (beg)

Santo Rico: Salsa/Mambo Basics (beg)

 Santo Rico is a name which demands attention. This group of big, ‘gangster’ looking guys (from the name of one of their most famous performances) and tiny ladies have invented their signature technique for leading super-fast multiple turns and regularly deliver among the best shows at each major salsa congress. Clearly […]

Leon Rose: Salsa London Style vol 1 (int/adv)

Leon Rose: Salsa London Style vol 1 (int/adv)

When I see salseros from London, I hardly notice any significant difference compared to US-based dancers, so I have often wondered whether London-style is a legitimate creature or a marketing ploy; this lead me to this DVD with some scepticism. It turned out to be a distraction; indeed […]

Tamambo: London with Style (int/adv)

Tamambo: London with Style (int/adv)

A curious DVD, read on to see why. I will write this review by reporting my impressions in the same order as they developed while watching it, in order to explain my amazement.
This DVD contains turn patterns and shines. They are well explained, with precise instructions and clear demonstrations. The turn […]

Enio & Terryl: LA Salsa Level 1&2

Enio & Terryl: LA Salsa Level 1&2

 

These videos (1&2, 3) are the best videos in my whole collection. Enio & Terryl are not so much focused on showing new difficult moves, instead they show how to lead and to dance fluent. With arrows they indicate, in which direction to pull the arms, also common mistakes […]

Melissa Fernandez: Mel’s Moves Ladies Styling

Melissa Fernandez: Mel’s Moves Ladies Styling

The material is good and delivered in Melissa’s usual exhuberant, confident and faultless style. There are a lot of useful elements which have been broken down very well so that you can imagine being able to do them yourself.
An intemediate dancers should be able to pick up
most of the styling […]

Orville Small: Advanced Turn Patterns

Orville Small: Advanced Turn Patterns on1 (that ‘ish’ is from Canada?)

Wow! Just when I thought I had seen them all, Marc from DC writes to me and says: “You have to watch Orville’s DVD”. So I buy it and yes, great tip Marc! This DVD contains 10 diabolical turn patterns which appear mildly advanced, but in […]

SalsAventura: Intermediate

SalsAventura: Intermediate

This intermediate dvd is for high level intermediates. If you compare it to the salsa dance courses here in Denmark I would say it’s an advanced dvd, but the cause of this is probably the lack of good instuctors and the instructors not having enough students. It’s amazing how much quality is put into […]

SalsaLovers: Casino Rueda Intermediate Level 2

SalsaLovers: Casino Rueda Intermediate Level 2

Here we have some short and easy salsa variations, nothing fancy, but good concidering it’s an intermediate dvd.
Around 25% is rueda only combos and can’t be danced one on one only with a partner, but very fun to do in a rueda circle. Still there is more material than on […]

Seaon Stylist: Spinning 1 & 2

Seaon Stylist: Spinning 1&2 

Been dancing for six years, but failed to learn how to double spin. Thought only women needed to know, but have changed my mind the last two years without doing anything about it.
Right now I can get around, but only with poor balance, poor body posture, not on the spot and preferable […]
