Salsa with Tomaj: Latin Motion DeMystified

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 […]

Laura Linares & la Orquesta Salzumba

La salsa en Santiago de Cali tiene nuevo sabor, y esto gracias a que en el año 2007 nace en la “sucursal del cielo” la Orquesta Salzumba, una nueva receta musical que con instrumentos de viento, percusión y una gama de voces con diferente estilo, color y registro llegan para avivar el […]

Hacha y Machete: Int/Adv Turnpatterns on2

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, […]

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

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 […]
