5.0 out of 5 stars The only way to learn Shines, July 5, 2002

This review is from: Red Hot Salsa: Mambo Shines DVD (DVD)

Learning Shines by DVD is really the best way to learn as you can repeat the lessons for as long as you want making the learning much easyier & faster.
This is an excellent Shine DVD for beginners. This is my pick for Mambo Shines for absolute beginners.
This DVD video starts off with a demo of the shines taught in this video facing the camera. At the end of this DVD video a demo is given facing away from the camera giving you the back view so you can practice the shines with them.
The instruction is very clear. The shines are repeated several times facing the camera then away from the camera giving the back view so you get both instruction from the front & back making the shines easy to learn. The music is ideal for learning the shines as it is a nice pace for instruction.
Both Ron & Bethana are performing the shines as Ron teaches them so you get both the Men's & Ladies styling at the same time. Bethana includes some nice Ladies styling to the shines
A combination of the shines is given first, then each shine is taught, then the whole combination is taught.
Ron teaches the most common NY shines in this DVD video.
This is a great first DVD video for learning NY shines. Highly recommended.
