Overall, the teaching was okay. Footprints, slow motion, and showing separate lead/follow movements make this easy for beginners. Expect to learn the basic step and one turn for each dance. Instead of this video, I recommend picking one dance you want to learn and getting a video that is more in depth. It's hard for someone starting out to learn so many dances at one time, even if one only learns the basic step. Also, they used the same awful music throughout the video even for very different dances. This makes it difficult for beginners to distinguish which dance to use for different music...that's one of the most important things to learn in dancing!

Good beginning steps and routines. Great for the person who knows nothing about the dances featured. My husband has three left feet and found this tape informative.

As a dance instructor I found the instruction in the tape to be poor

I bought this tape for my husband who has no idea how to latin dance and he got more out of watching the movie Dance with me than he did the tape. It is very very basic and is very brief on each style. I recommend picking a dance and getting a tape related to that style and learn that way. This is just to basic.

Easy to follow for the beginner or brush up for the seasoned dancer.
Good music gets one moving. You will be dancing in no time.

I use this as an option for bonus with my students when we do a basic dance unit. I am not a dancer, but I try to expose my junior high students to some basic steps. If they want to take it further for bonus I allow them to use the videos to learn more dances. They LOVE it!
