Salsa a la Cubana - DVD

     
                   
"I believe 'Salsa a la Cubana' was filmed for me. That is my style of dancing, those are my rhythmic patterns, the naturalness of the dancers defines salsa for me. The dancers are superb bringing a reminder that salsa ought to be smooth and slick in order for it to live up to its reputation. The videos offer a valuable collection of moves displaying a brand of salsa not common on the modern dance floor. If there were awards for the best videos on the net I would vote these second to none.
