5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shine video for beginners, February 6, 2002

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

This is an excellent Shine video for beginners. This is my pick for Mambo Shines for absolute beginners.
This video starts off with a demo of the shines taught in this video facing the camera. At the end of this 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 video.
This is a great first video for learning NY shines. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Video, March 1, 2008

By	A.Firebrand - See all my reviews

Just watched this at the library and I have to say it was very nice. He xplained the shines very thoroughly and performed them facing you and facing away (I find facing away more helpful). I've seen probably 70% of the shines or variations of them before, but there were a few that were new to me and looked very nice. They added some styling of the upper body to a few shines and explained the timing of that well, I just wish they used more upper body styling.

That said I still give it a perfect score because it was nice footwork, so of which I've not seen in other videos, and it was well taught.

Note: the same thing about the DVD not working on my computer, and on their timing from the Red Hot salsa Intermediate DVD review I wrote applies to this one.
