A Waste of Time and Money, June 1, 2000
This review is from: Latin Style & Technique For Ladies [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Actually, you wouldn't be wasting that much time because the video is very short - 25 minutes, and of them, not more than 15 involve any dancing. I agree with the previous review that it is extremely difficult to follow Josie's moves unless one is standing in the exact same position as her, which would be with one's back to the TV. The very few steps she does show are only repeated a couple of times.... Now I wish I had read the previous review more carefully before I purchased the video.

This video is the worst. It lacks imagination, choreography, proper instruction and viewer consideration. Josie forgets that she is suppose to be teaching us something. The video is not about showing us styling techiniques and moves, but rather about her being in front of a camera. Skip this and buy somehing else, its not worth the money.

Great to understand feminine rules of dancing Latin, October 23, 2000
This review is from: Latin Style & Technique For Ladies [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have been dancing non-Latin dances for 7 years and after viewing Josie's explicit explanations about how to move every part of the body, I have a greater undersatnding of Latin Style! I was told that I used to dance salsa like a jazz dancer or "white girl", but Josie helped me to understand the proper stance, posture, weight distribution, hip action, and foot and leg action that make me dance like a Latin girl!
I have been taking lessons from male instructors for so long and that is why I never moved feminine or understood the feminine way to move like a Latina!
This video is great for technique on how to do every step looking like a Latin dancer. This is a technique video on how to move sexy and understand how the body moves to create Latin action and there were great tips on turning (two foot spins), spotting, and using the arms. The few shines that Josie and her dancers do are cute!
I got so much out of this video because of the attention to detail that Josie is a master of, which is lacking in most videos on the market.
I later purchased Josie's Advanced salsa Variations to find really cool advanced shines for ladies. Great!
