5.0 out of 5 stars Full of steps I like & use., January 31, 2002

This review is from: New York Salsa - Advanced Vol. 1 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I was watching this video with a group of my Advanced social Lady dancers & within 2 minutes of this video playing Diana had all of us smiling & laughing. The interplay between Juan & Diana keep us smiling & laughing throughout this video. They are fun teachers who enjoy their Salsa dancing & teaching.
This couple are the first Salsa teachers I have seen on video that I would like to take classes with. Their Salsa classes must be fun.

Although this video is not called a Ladies Spin video I feel it is great for this. The video is full of double, triple & quadruple turns right up to the 20's + spins. Diana gives some great tips on Ladies spinning.
The video is also full of Ladies styling tips.

The step combinations are shown & taught on ONE & on TWO so all dancers can learn the steps. The steps are danced to music on ONE & on TWO. This video teaches one of the most famous steps, the "Coffee Grinder". I have seen this step being taught in other Salsa videos but I like Juan & Diana version of teaching it the best.

As most of the steps in this video were being shown. The ladies with me were calling out, 'Neal's social'. Most of the steps in this video are what I like to use with my Advanced Social Ladies.
This video is full of steps I like to use. This video was like watching my favourite moves been shown. My styling is different than that used in this video so I was able to get some new endings or variations of the steps. As all the turn combinations are shown with several different styling & endings or versions you end up with some impressive steps.
The moves by Super Mario from England were nice.

The video is very good value for money. It is a good length & the picture quality is amazing.

This video is a great introduction to Advanced Salsa. I am looking forward to seeing their new videos they are producing this year 2002.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun & Fab, June 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: New York Salsa - Advanced Vol. 1 (DVD)

This DVD is very well thought out. However you really do need to be advanced to learn the sequences as Diana & Juan move very quickly - (it can be difficult to know when buying on the net.) Great for teachers or advanced dancers wishing to learn new moves for their sequence.
