Learn to Salsa Vol 2 is definitely one of the better quality salsa instructional videos I've come across. Raul & Tenia (especially) are sexy dancers. This is precisely how salsa is supposed to be danced. I've practiced and mastered 5 of the 7 sequences and my salsa has moved up a few knotches, as I've been told by folks in the DC salsa community. My dance parter has also received similar feedback.

After Raul instructs the men on their part, Tenia breaks down the women's part. Many salsa videos fail to do this. Raul & Tenia also included shines in this video. Most salsa instuction videos tend to focus 100% on partnering which is good, but there is more to salsa, especially for those who like to let loose, freestyle and spice things up.

Video & audio quality are good, and the rooftop scene is a nice touch. Criticisms: (1) The night club piece at the end was very HOT, but it would have been nice to see them dance with other people. (2) There was a small clip where Raul & Tenia's show off their shoes. This was a good opportunity for them to say a word or two about the best kind of dance shoes for salsieros. (3) For an intermediate-advanced salsa video, they should have/could have squeezed in an additional 3 sequences.

Overall: great buy!!!

I just finished watching the "Learn to Salsa Vol. 2"
DVD. It is excellent!! I enjoyed it so much! The
lessons are very clear and easy to follow. The sound
quality is great. I really like that you filmed it
outdoors. The rooftop view is great! Other salsa
videos that I have where the lessons are filmed
indoors now seem to me somewhat confining. With your
lessons filmed outdoors it sends a message that you
can take salsa anywhere! To patios, to rooftops, to
the street, to outdoor festivals. It's not just for
clubs.

I also like how you integrated the whole salsa
environment into the DVD. You got your lessons,
classes, instructors, students, friends, the club
scene, and all the fun that goes with dancing.
Moreover, you put alot of your personalities into this
and I think that makes it stand out far and away
better than any of the other salsa videos that I've
seen. People relate to people through personalities.
You come across as very "relateable". (I don't think
that's a word... but I think you know what I mean.)

I have 9 salsa videos in my collection. I enjoy them
all but yours is better.

Congratulations on a quality product that is so
enjoyable to watch.

PS: The performance at El Floridita was awesome!

A great follow-up to Vol 1.

Each of the 8 combinations presented here is made up of multiple steps with all kinds of wraps, lady's swivels and some shine work for both partners. There is also a really cool Tango dip thrown in. As a bonus, we are treated to 2 dance demonstrations by Raul and Tenia, which puts their talent and outstanding dance partnership into full display. As with Vol 1, Tenia incorporates some more styling for ladies which can be put into practice straight away.

DVDs are highly recommended if you plan to use video as your main learning tool due to the ease of use and outstanding visual quality.

I was told to see this video and it's better than any thing I've seen (I don't know what that 'neallatino' review is talking about. I already have the other videos he reviewed, and he is CRAZY if he doesn't think this is the best one-- if he really dances salsa). The ones he says are good, are the worst quality and I can't hardly hear the teachers talk.

This video here has 8 steps, but they put like 4 different moves in each step, for men and women, so it's more like 20-30 steps. And i think when the teachers put background scenes w/ their students and the teachers talking & goofing around in the video, it makes it a lot more interesting to watch because regular videos get boring! I watched this many times and I love it. I'm an intermediate dancer but i'm going to buy their beginner DVD because this is seriously better then any videos or classes i've reviewed.

I've bought about 20 instructional videos since I started salsa dancing, and this one just blows them all away. The instruction is clear, the moves are great, and the tone of the video is just really fun. It's worth buying the video just to watch the dancing! Take it from a seasoned salsa video collector... this video is just awesome!

I have never been much of a dancer. Like most men I know, I dreaded the moment my lady would drag me out on the dance floor at cousin Susy's wedding. Only drunk uncle Billy 'dancing' his rendition of Y-M-C-A could save me from my embarrassing moment in the spotlight.

But when a friend introduced me to salsa through this video, I became enlightened. This video shows just how Ultra-Sexy salsa is. And guys, here's the secret - it's surprisingly easy to master a few basic moves that will get you out on the floor with confidence.

Trust me gentlemen, the ladies are who make salsa sexy. But they need you out on the floor... and they will love you for it.

I know how to do Salsa but let's just say that it stays in basic. I love to experiment so when I heard about this sexy and stylish approach, I'd say I was pretty excited and couldn't wait to enhance my Salsa skills. I even talked my boyfriend into it and both of us are having a ball. It's like another side of Salsa which I thought never existed. A must buy for Salsa lovers. It's worth every penny!

Learn to Salsa Instructional VOL. 2 is truly amazing. I enjoyed every bit of it as much as I enjoyed part 1. Salsa has always fascinated me, but learning all those moves seemed next to impossible as I am a wee bit on the heavier side. I always thought Salsa was a difficult dance, but watching and following the stepwise instructions made salsa so simple for me.

Thanks to this magnificent DVD, I never thought that I'd be doing all those groovy moves. I've learnt each and every step by heart and trust me I had no problem in learning them, it was just like a walk in the park.

Everyone talks about my zealous passion and my funky moves and I leave no chance in flaunting my moves and my ability to dance. It's so much convenient and cheaper. You won't want to invest so much money on going to an instructor everyday doing the same moves which you can learn it from home. Part 1 works best for beginners and once you perfect yourself in your moves you can precede with part 2. Grab a copy today; you won't wanna miss a part of it. I guarantee you with 100% assurance, you're not gonna regret!

I'm not aware of salsa instructions on a DVD. If this is a first, a
precedent has been set. I highly recommend the DVD version for people that
have a DVD player, because one can play back or run step by step without
worrying about breaking a tape, as in a video cassette.

The breakdown of the steps are superb. There is a lot of style given by the female which helps me, because it's not just shown, it's explained. The video pace is perfect: an explanation of the moves first without music and just counts, and then shown with music.

What I appreciate most is it is made into an entertaining product so i'm not just fast forwarding through everything, I have watched this so many times and still enjoy putting it on and learning something more each time. I'm hoping to share my love of dance with my boyfriend and will purchase the Beginner video for him, which i'm very excited to see as well!!!

I own 7 more salsa DVDs and this is one of my favorites.There is no pattern that hasn't taught me something new. I like the best how in this DVD they explain the ladies' styling. It is easy to follow and fun. I only wish it was longer.
