- **** out of ***** stars Review by Fabio SalsaIsGood
-
Despite the name, this DVD is quite similar to Liza’s cardiosalsa series, the only difference being that rather that exercising only to Salsa, you will also use Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba and Merengue. From the aerobics point of view all I wrote about the ‘CardioSalsa’ series applies here too.. same standard, similar features, if you enjoyed that one, you will surely be happy with this DVD too.
Dance wise, there are some features worth pointing out. First, several of the steps used in the sequences are explained separately; this is good. Second, if you have never danced before, don’t expect to actually learn the 5 dances in 5 days, at best you will learn to execute the cardio exercises well; this is not bad, it is reasonable, but you need to be aware of it. Third, the names of the dances need to be understood according to the Ballroom vocabulary, rather than the Caribbean one: Rumba here is not the afro-cuban dance of Yambu, Guaguanco and Columbia, but the ballroom word for Bolero. Samba is the ballroom samba, which only vaguely reminds of the Brazilian one and the same comments applies to Merengue. This also is not bad in itself, but it is important you know in advance so you know what to expect.
The bottom line is.. if aerobics is what you want, good aerobics is what you will get and you will probably be an happy customer.
