Ballroom Dance Instruction by Kyle and Susan Webb, March 12, 2001
This review is from: Ballroom Dancing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
To those people who are looking for excellent instruction and not hurried or rushed from one phase of the dance instruction to another, these are the videos for you. The dance steps are gone over quite a few times, both for the men and women and executed slowly so you can understand the instruction in an excellent way. Tressa Mason has excellent videos that I also have, but her instruction is not for the average or slow learner. They are fine if you are an experienced dancer, then I say use Tressa's videos. BUT if you are starting out in ballroom dancing and / or brushing up on steps than Kyle and Susan Webb's are the videos to use.

Good, and certainly worth the reasonable price, May 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ballroom Dancing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Good instruction, very easy to follow (if anything, some of the moves are overexplained). It's too bad that these tapes aren't grouped by dance type instead of user level. It'd be easier to practice a certain style without switching tapes all the time. Are they smooth dancers? Not really. Competent, but stiff. Is the oldies type stuff what you associate with Waltz and Rumba? No. However, the important thing is that they teach you and these tapes are great for clearly learning some moves. I find these tapes much better than those by Teresa Mason for learning, although Mason's dancing is certainly superior. We had the Mason tape first, and have found that the Webb's tapes have made it much easier to understand what Mason and her partner are actually doing.

A definite No-No, April 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ballroom Dancing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Unless you're 100 years old and don't see well, spend your 10 bucks on something else. Surprisingly cheap tapes indeed reflected the quality of instruction and the lack of performance skills of both teachers. I watched all three of them and couldn't find a single move that I could use neither in my Rumba, nor in Cha-cha. Waltz may be ok, but again only if for some reason you can not move properly, everybody looked stiff and without passion for dance... the instructors were extremely unattractive, even worse... I felt that I threw away my money. I did not give up and bought a tape of another instructor - Teresa Mason- and she's the best. I had everything that I needed and even more - wonderful performance by her and her partner and effective instruction. Don't be cheap and buy good stuff!
