Adrian and Anita are two accomplished dancers, with a considerable and diverse training in several dances who, as they tell us in the interviews contained in the DVD, have found their real passion in salsa.
They have achieved a lot already, being able to boast first prize at several international competitions, including the equivalent of the World Championship, in the category On 1. This talent shows clearly in the DVD, their dancing is spotless, energetic and made impressive by a well acquired stage craft: everything is just perfect and sharp.
‘Adrian and Anita style 3′ contains a set of 10 solo sequences, basically shines including a lot of body work and styling, 5 for men and 5 for ladies.
Each sequence is first shown with vocal counting, then broken down and then danced to music. As for the other DVDs from this couple, their dance on1 and their style is very sharp and full of energy: material for choreographed shows. They both are proficient dancers and thus able to get away with moves and emphatic styling that most of us would not be able to afford, but if you like this kind of material, or this kind of challenge, you can be sure you will watch and learn from some of the best dancers around.
The material is explained only in Spanish, but unlike the other DVDs this time you can find subtitles in English. As for the other DVDs of this series you will find very useful the use of two camera views with zoom in and out when needed.

This is a very nice and entertaining production, which I found myself watching all through with a smile on my face. It’s a clever realisation of a clever idea: take 3 male Bachata dancers, with a different style and let them show their repertoire together. Not only can you see the contribution from all three, but also you can watch the 3 dancers executing each other’s steps, with inevitable styling variation. Tony Lara, well known to all Bachata lovers, represents Italian style, Inaki Fendandez, also known from BachataUk, represents the Spanish style and Frank Santos the Dominican style. Each teaches us two footwork sequences and two turn patterns, which are demonstrated with the equally well known Daniela De Francesco. All material is first demonstrated, then broken down to counting and than danced to music, from two side views.

What makes this production stand out is the joyous atmosphere, the funny way the music is interpreted and the entertaining short choreographies the three dancers coordinate before and after each turn pattern. It’s a fun DVD which will entertain you while you add some new ideas to your Bachata repertoire

I was told this was a very good DVD and it’s true. Salsaventura has collected into a single DVD most of the ‘classic’ shines you are likely to learn in standard salsa class and does not make a secret of it by explicitly acknowledging his inspiration: Salsa Brava, Los Rumberos, Eddie Torres, Nelson Flores and Marlon & Annetje Castillo. All together, there are 42 (!) shines in this DVD, for 90 minutes of condensed teaching. The shines are divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced level; for each level they are further divided into sequences of 3 to 4 shines, which are first taught in isolation and then connected as a short sequence. In each sequence, the shines are connected without basic steps in between; this results in short choreographies which will challenge your memory as well as your coordination.

Each shine is first demonstrated from the back, then zoomed in on the close up view of the footwork. It is then broken down twice to counting and finally danced to music with front and back view. The DVD menu is very well organised so you will find quickly the shine you want to practise. The beginner shines are very easy, and can be managed by students capable of executing the basic steps. Naturally the further you go in the DVD the more challenging the shines become, but none is beyond the reach of a reasonable dancer. Plus, the point of shines is not to execute them, but to execute them well so this DVD can keep you busy for a while.

Everything is taught and demonstrated on1. Morry is very confident in his teaching and smooth in his dancing, keeping the styling to the minimum required, which avoids the material becoming intimidating. If you are after a shine DVD and you are happy to dance on1, this is surely recommended.

L’Afrique, ce sont les racines, les rythmes originels, la langue (le lingala) et surtout la Rumba Congolaise…A l’adolescence, il part à Los Angeles. Là-bas il y a le Jazz, la cote ouest et de nombreuses fusions musicales. Ces origines, les rencontres et découvertes façonnent cet artiste qui va faire sa propre synthèse en rapprochant la musique cubaine de la rumba congolaise. Les familles étaient toutes proches, restait à y associer l’influence du Jazz et de grandes références comme Benny More pour la musique cubaine ou Johnny Pacheco  pour la Salsa New-yorkaise en insérant ses couleurs pour trouver son style et créer un répertoire original et bien identifié. Ricardo Lemvo, c’est chaleureux, il y a les bases fondamentales et c’est international. ‘’Essentiellement, c’est la fu- sion du Son Montuno et des rythmes africains’’. Cet artiste, travaille sur l’héritage, ajoute et mé- lange beaucoup de rythmes et colore sa musique de plusieurs langues, Lingala (Congo), Kikongo (Angola), Espagnol, Anglais, Portugais et Français. Une musique faite pour voyager et s’enrichir…
