4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent beginners video of a good series., February 18, 2002

By	Salsavideoreviews.org (Christchurch, Canterbury New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This video is the same as Red Hot Salsa - Learn to Salsa with Ron & Bethana Rosario.

This basic Salsa video starts off with a demonstration of the style of Salsa taught by Ron & Bethana. Ron & Bethana are teaching what I describe as the fourth major Salsa style. This style of Salsa is international. I have never been to a country yet or nightclub where someone was not teaching or dancing this style. I am not sure of this style's history so it may have started in New York. In my current city over 75% of the Salsa schools teach their basic techniques this way. This video has a huge market. This couple teach a very smooth flowing Salsa. The basic video teaches you the fundamentals of Salsa. They both take turns teaching so you get both sexes views & steps. They break the steps down for both sexes so if you are single you can learn the steps as well. Ron counts the beats + Quick Quick Slow + adds music. They teach Cuban motion for the basic step. They break the steps down in directions like front, side, back. They give you options for these basic steps. They teach basic combinations so you can add the steps all together to produce a good flow. I would also recommend this video for beginner Salsa teachers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent dancers and teachers!!, June 23, 2003

By	creams2k (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I bought the beginner, intermediate and advanced videos from these series. The three videos follow the same format, they first show the moves dancing together, then they break down the steps showing both the man and the female steps and to finalize they dance together again.
Both dancers give advice on how to add a little style to your dancing and their instruction is definetely among the best. In fact, I took a basic salsa class and felt frustrated with the results but this video is so clear that even learning without a partner is possible.
The only reason for giving it four stars is that I feel that they could have taught more moves if they had spent less time explaining the moves over and over.
