This is a very good instructional video. The contents is superb. If you learn all that is in this video you will be better than 90% of people that ballroom dance.

Teaches Waltz, Rumba, and Salsa on all three tapes. You certainly can't beat the price. We found it to be good, with a decent number of steps for the money. The music is fifties-style oldies, which really doesn't fit the tuxes on the cover. He does very clearly teach the moves. You'll need to go elsewhere to learn style points and how to make the dances flow.

It is true that the dancing is a little stiff and robotlike, but the instruction is very good. I also like the way they let you be able to practice a dance to the right music and for a long time.

This is the very first ballroom dancing tape I have watched, and it was very helpful. I had always viewed the Ramba as a difficult dance, but this video cleared a lot of the confusion I had. I learned to waltz and jaive when I was in my teens, but my fiance just started learning, and this tape has been of immense help for both of us, especially for him. The instructors didn't go too fast, and we were able to keep up quite easily. I would recommend this tape to anyone who wants to learn the basics of these three dances.

And I prefer that I'd remained whimless. Even for an introductory series, this couple is atrocious. And what's with the guy showing all the breakdown even for the lady's part. Put your resources into something of value...not this.

If you want to learn how to dance like a robot, this is the way to go....
