"This is the finest salsa instructional DVD we have ever seen. This three angle view makes learning salsa so easy. You can view the whole DVD from the front, back, above angles or just a move. Instruction is given for both males & females steps. If you can walk you can dance this style of salsa."

reviews of the dvd

DVDVerdict.com
"Our instructor is Gigi, and she (along with her partner Pedro) explain clearly and simply what they are doing while they are doing it. With a straightforward attitude and no dazzling effects, they demonstrate the steps with little introduction. The instruction goes by quickly, which has the benefit of allowing them to cover a lot of steps, but you'll likely need to use your skip buttons to go over the steps multiple times before you can match Gigi and Pedro's pizzazz.

The prospect of multiple viewings is made far more practical by the disc's great use of DVD technology—not for technology's sake, but to add value to the instructional content. There are no dazzling effects or camerawork to distract from the focus on the steps, but the best feature—the one that sets this apart from many other instructional DVDs—is the use of multiple angles. You can choose high, front, or back angles to see the proper technique from all sides, either with a click of your remote, or by choosing different angles from the main menu. The decent disc menu gives a list of steps so you can go directly to the one you want to practice, and offers the option of setting a different angle as your primary viewing choice (front is the default). Because chapter stops are placed before each step segment, you can also use your remote's skip buttons to practice along with Gigi and Pedro until you get it right.

At the end, a brief segment set to music has Gigi and Pedro showing us their stuff, so we finally get to see the beauty of the finished steps connected into an actual dance."
