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.

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!

This is a great video if you are a beginner or advanced student. Josie explains the techniques of basic steps thoroughly. I enjoyed this video because Josie makes salsa dancing very easy to learn. As an intermediate dancer myself, I learned many important techniques that other instructors often fail to mention. I strongly recommend this video or any of her other dance instruction videos if you're looking to dance socially or professionally!

I recently bought this tape as a gift for my girlfriend because she always complained that she needed to see what feminine salsa dancing looks like since the dance instructors we had been to were all males trying to dance like females.
She can't stop talking about how happy she is that I found this tape and I have seen the great results in her dancing.
When I finally saw the tape I realized why there was such an impact. Josie thoroughly breaks down everything from head to toe and demonstrates the techniques with smoothness and sensuality.
I feel like I'm dancing with Josie herself!

I have recently purchased this video tape. Josie Neglia is a beautiful dancer, and really knows how to instruct in dancing techniques. However, I found it extremely difficult to follow her dance steps by watching the television screen. Many of the moves require that you stand in the exact position that Josie is in, which means that your back is facing the television. I found it extremely frustrating to attempt to try a dance move "backwards". The tape was also quite short in length. I suggest purchasing this video only if you have mirrors surrounding your living room.

Unless you are an absolute beginner by which I mean you have never seen live salsa, this video is a complete ripoff. She goes through basic steps that you can learn in one evening at any $5 Salsa beginner's lesson.
