Josie Neglia & Alvaro Coronel: Advanced Salsa Combos 2 ****/*****

Product Review (submitted on March 10, 2011):

This DVD follows the same format as Advanced Salsa Combinations, Disk 8, but goes a considerable step up in difficulty level, so be prepared to be seriously challenged. After 5 classic turn patterns, Jose and Alvaro shows us 7 lifts, 3 jumps, and 5 drops. This is not for everyone, you need to be agile, fast and strong; some of this material could, in principle (!), be performed in a club, but most of it is strictly for the stage, at the very least because it needs a lot of space to execute safely. This material shows Jose at her best and explains why Alvaro was chosen to be her dancing partner. While his salsa dancing in the turn patterns is good but not outstanding, in the acrobatics he clearly shows his ability, precision and strength. Some of these acrobatics are \'classics\', others are less common, but a reliable source of inspiration if you need to plan your next show.
