Latin dances have always been popular in ballrooms, and now with the popularity of Latin pop-music artists, they're favorites in nightclub dancing. Nancy Hays and Greg Gale introduce you to three Latin dances--rumba, cha cha, and salsa. Hays is an accomplished dancer who exudes the excitement of the dance. Her partner Gale, who does the step-by-step instruction, is more a matter-of-fact, no-frills instructor, teaching the footwork simply, systematically, and from different angles, though without much warmth or personality during instruction. With each dance, Gale teaches a few basic steps clearly, then puts them together and leads a practice session with music (where he loosens up and conveys the enjoyment of the dance). You'll learn enough in this 60-minute tape to enjoy yourself on the dance floor performing the basic steps of all three dances, though you won't get the technique and characteristic, flamboyant style. --Joan Price

This review is from: Bring Back the Romance of Dance, Vol. 3 - Latin (Spanish & English Language) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video contains instructions for three Latin dances--rumba, cha cha, and salsa. Greg Gale provides the detailed steps systematically and from various angles. He teaches the footwork (and arm movements) methodically that enables the viewer (with use of the rewind/review buttons) to follow and learn the dance steps (he spends little time on how to dance with flair and artistry). With each dance, Gale teaches four to six basic steps clearly. Each dance lesson is concluded with a practice session where Greg Gale and Nancy Hays puts together in various combinations the lessons learned (and where Gale is more relaxed and conveys the enjoyment of the dance). Practicing repeatedly what is learned from this instruction-tape, one will be able to enjoy oneself on the dance floor.
