Boogalu Prod: R. Borell: Cuban Dance Instruction

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

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

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

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

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

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 […]
