4.0 out of 5 stars Very Strong LA Style, May 5, 2000

This review is from: SALSA: Advanced Variations [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a strong LA Style video.The video starts out with a warning about possible injury's & the flooring you should have for the advanced flips. The sections are divided into into (1) Footwork. Female then Male shines then together shines. Shines are solo steps done away from your partner. You can either do the same techniques or your own separate steps. (2) Turns. From basic to advanced. (3) Dips & Drops. On the Death Drop. I would ask that you use a palm to palm grip when you are first learning it then go to fingertips. (4) Lifts & Flips. The techniques range from advanced Basic to Advanced. Some are awkward & some are finishing display techniques. In the short demo section in the front of this video is the most advanced flip which is not taught in this video. It is the last technique before Josie introduces herself. It only shows the start & middle of the technique. There are some good techniques in this video. It even has a good Cuban enfolding turn. It is fast paced & average length. The only thing wrong with this video is the quality of the tape. The pause quality is not good.

This review is from: SALSA: Advanced Variations [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This salsa video that features moves by Rogelio Moreno and Josie Neglia displays some unique salsa steps that have been mastered by both with the utmost technique. Of course Rogelio and Josie make the steps look smooth and effortless however don't be fooled this is some great salsa coreographed by two great dancers.

The video is well organized as it is broken down into 4 sections:

footwork, turns, dips & drops, lifts & flips. In each section the moves are first shown without music and then with music thus giving you and idea of how the moves flow together with music once mastered. The explanations by Josie and Rogelio are clear and their movements are well syncronized as they display each step in the routines.

The only downfall in this video is that the steps need to be broken down a bit more. Although geared toward advanced salsa dancers some of the moves require a secondary breakdown analysis. Instead the viewer will have to rewind several times in order to see the steps over again.

Overall the video is an excellent display of very advanced salsa variations and if you do manage to master some of their art work you will be the envy of many in any salsa nightclub around the world. I highly recommend the purchase of this video for advanced salsa dancers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Combinations, June 5, 2001

This review is from: SALSA: Advanced Variations [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Unable to purchase this Video in Manchester, England, I took a chance and ordered Josie's Salsa Advanced Variations Video. I was very excited and pleased to see the high class dance sequences that both Josie and Rogelio teach. Step by Step, they go through the moves, first the lady, then the man, then partnered. The shines for both women and men are so professional and challenging to the advanced salsa enthusiast. At last I found someone who can teach high quality salsa at it's best! I wouldn't hesitate to buy this Video.
