5.0 out of 5 stars nice instructional video, November 20, 2002

This is a very nice dance instructional video. I'm a
Salsa fanatic, thus I'm able to pick up the timing
and the concepts in this video. My only comment or
suggestion is that this video should have spent
more time explaining the basic footwork by itself
as most salsa videos do (some people may find it
hard to jump almost right into a close position
push & pull.) They could also rehearse a little about
how they address the audience.

Other than that, this is a video I highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars mixed bag, July 31, 2008

This review is from: Do the Hustle - Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced (DVD)

You may want to peek this one on netflix before you buy.

It looks like the video was shot in some ones apartment. They dont play *ANY* music when they demo or instruct steps. He counts some steps in 3 (1,2,3... 1,2,3) and some steps in 4 - music might help clarify. THe moves are organized in a mysterious chaotic order. The guy shows sloppy footwork for a few seconds (looks kinda like jive); but then says that lazy leads can just counterbalance the female instead of moving their feet whatsoever, and thats what he does most of the time. also it appears theres not much thought put into the camera angles.

on the up side. if you just follow along you will actually learn the stuff. and his lazy footwork, simplifies the steps and makes them easy to learn. thats why im giving it four stars. it works somehow.

Salsa dancers may find it easy to learn from this guy. the style is kind of like salsa for dummies.
