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

Product Review (submitted on March 11, 2011):

Well, it´s not a bad video! And it might even deserve **** or *****in other peoples opinion. Especially if you are an inter-mediate dancer trying to improve.

And you actually get quite a few moves from this video.

Though the male teacher seemingly has a streetdance background it doesn´t show on the video. And really: That´s too bad, since his salsa-technique isn´t something special. Next time please let us see some funky moves, Mr. Coronel.

The female teacher, LA celebrity Josie Neglia appearently has a background in ballroom dancing which I, personally, find of little use when dancing salsa. Salsa IS, or at least, WAS, originally a streetdance.

The many ballroom dancers are extremely welltrained, ballroom technique is in many ways not very suitable for the improvised dance floor and the heavy grounding which is an essential part of all streetdances is very difficult to practice in very high heels.

However, the teaching part, is quite alright, though the repertoire won´t satisfy all advanced dancers.

I´ll give it ***(*)
