Editorial Reviews

If you're ready to learn the basics of Salsa and not just be awed by dancing or someone showing off, this DVD's for you. Released in October of 2005, Hot & Spicy Salsa offers instruction that burns up the floor for an hour and a half. No experience is necessary as the instructors assume you've never danced a day in your life. With a strong focus on Lead & Follow Dancing, you'll be amazed at how quickly you can learn the Salsa if the instruction is well thought out and presented in ways that make it easy to absorb. Filmed in HD and presented with multiple camera angles and Picture-In-Picture technology, you won't want to miss how easy this dance can be with the right instructors. Shawn Trautman has been a coach and mentor to numerous World Champions as well as countless social dancers since the early 1990's. Shawn welcomes people from all walks of life regardless of shape, size, or ability to his classes. His broad experience in both dance and Advanced Learning Techniques makes his methods of instruction innovative, easy, and fun. If you're ready to learn and have fun, Shawn Trautman's Learn To Dance Series is the way to go. Order Hot & Spicy Salsa today, and be ready to dance by next weekend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Take this lesson today - go Salsa dancing tonight!, February 23, 2006
This review is from: Hot & Spicy Salsa for Beginners (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection) (DVD)
These instructors make you feel very comfortable. You will feel like you are on the dance floor with them during this lesson. They give you time to practice each step before moving to the next one and they present skill building techniques to advance in a way that is fun and easy to understand. I especially like the opportunity for the leaders and followers to have a chance to practice the steps during the lesson with and without a partner. The use of picture-in-picture technology adds panoramic views and makes it possible to see the steps from all angles! You will really enjoy learning Salsa using this video!

5.0 out of 5 stars Salsa DVD review, March 5, 2006

This review is from: Hot & Spicy Salsa for Beginners (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection) (DVD)
This is the third DVD from Shawn Trautman that I have gotten (Swing and Cha-Cha are the others), and they are all exceedingly well done. They start from ground zero and progress in very small steps that are a snap to follow. By the time it's over, you will understand the logic behind the dance and know enough to do well on a social dance floor. It will also get you pumped to learned more advanced steps; you won't feel intimidated. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars straightforward and enjoyable, November 22, 2006
By 
LeeAn (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot & Spicy Salsa for Beginners (Shawn Trautman's Dance Collection) (DVD)
Of the three Shawn Trautman DVDs I own, this is the best. (The other two are line dance DVDs.) This is an excellent introduction not just to Salsa, but also to couple's dancing. There are lots of helpful tips (Use "Ladies are always right, and the men get what's left." to remember which foot to start with.) and, in the review section, Shawn and Joanna emphasize not just memorizing a routine, but really learning how to lead and follow so you and your partner can mix and match steps with confidence. I absolutely would recommend this as a low pressure, fun introduction to Salsa dancing. What keeps me from giving it 5 stars? The audio is a little echo-y and the DVD navigation is off. (On my copy at least, I couldn't skip backward, and when I skipped forward I completely missed the chapter I was going for.) But the quality of the instruction more than makes up for any deficiencies in DVD authorship.
