- **** out of ***** stars Review by Salsa Lover
-
This is a very well produced DVD, with 2 synchronised angle views (side and top) and zoomed in sections which allow you to follow all details, good explanations and repetitions of demonstrations for you to practise following the instructors; all this in a very since filming setting which is pleasing to the eye. Thumbs up for all this to both dancers and the producers.
The content is divided into three parts: 8 partner work moves, 3 shines and 2 moves which Nuno and Vanda call ‘salsa-tango’, effectively two more partnerwork moves with a tango taste. This is salsa on1, both for what regards the counting and the feel, with sharp and fast passages, seasoned with some Cuban-inspired arm work. It will probably best suit dancers who prefer strong colors and emphasis to smooth and cool dancing, but nothing is over the top and with a bit of practise the turn patterns are probably fairly leadable, maybe not with any dancer who passes by your club, but likely with most proficient ones. Some of the passages are original, other are taken from the Cuban and LA repertoire and interestingly mixed. Each turn pattern is first danced to music, then explained in the leader and follower parts, then demonstrated again to counting. The teaching is good and exhaustive and the demos precise. A good product.
