Video Description

The worlds first step-by-step, fully interactive, high quality guide for all those learning to dance or who have always wanted to try is available from March 25th. Discover Dance Latin DVD shows how a total novice can become a confident and impressive dancer by practising a series of easy to follow, simple, moves for the Samba, Social Rock'n'roll, Cha-Cha and Rumba. All in the privacy of your own home.

How often have you watched a couple dancing and secretly wished you could appear as effortless and graceful on the dance floor? Simon and Heidi Cruwys, whose career includes UK Ballroom Championship and National Championship titles, guide you through all the techniques that will make you the perfect dancing partner.

The material on the disc includes a step-by-step guide to each dance. You can view from the female, male or couples perspective, and you can even set it to repeat the steps for additional practice. The commentary provides helpful advice on common mistakes as well as how to get the most out of the DVD. Bonuses include a counting clock to enable users to keep time and there are professional performance sequences and illustrations on other dances you may wish to try out in the future.

From the Back Cover

The best step-by-step guide for anyone learning to dance, or who has ever wanted to try!

This DVD gives you everything you need to become a confident dance partner at any social function. Just follow in the steps of former UK Pro Ballroom Champions, Simon & Heidi Cruwys, your personal tutors guiding you through the Rumba, Cha-Cha, Rock & Roll, and Samba.

Simon and Heidi also explain fully how to use the DVD and guide you through the menu. After each step-by-step lesson, a combination routine shows you how to put all the steps together, and there are also additional music tracks to give you extra entertainment and practice.

The DVD technology allows a truly interactive learning experience. You can loop ‘dance routinesâ€(tm), ‘practice stepsâ€(tm), automatically view an on-screen counter to help with timing and rhythm, and choose either the Gentleman, Lady or Couples role.

Simon and Heidi also offer helpful advice and tips for beginners including warming up, leading, following, holding, how to avoid common mistakes, where to get the right clothes and where to look for venues to show off your new skills. Who knows where this may lead?!

To give you a flavour of the passion of Latin dancing weâ€(tm)ve included a free ‘professionalâ€(tm) performance by Simon and Heidi, as well as a sequence of more advanced routines to be taught in the forthcoming DVDâ€(tm)s in the ‘Discover Danceâ€(tm) series. Special Features:
* Gentleman, Lady, Couples role option
* Interactive menu
* On-screen counting
* Repeat function for practice steps and dance routines
* Tips and advice
* Additional Music tracks
* Professional Show
* Bonus routines from the next ‘Discover Danceâ€(tm) DVD

2.0 out of 5 stars Strictly for the first dance in your life users., 11 Oct 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Discover Dance - Latin [DVD] (DVD)
Having seen other learn-to dance videos (especially Learn to Jive with Kav Kavannagh ) I was hoping to get to at least beyond beginner stage with Discover Dance - Latin....that DVD is strictly for beginners who do not believe they could progress. You get shown one or two very basic moves (granted, from various angles) and a promise that next DVD will be more It. Also, it is a very old fashioned style Latin dance- a ballroom in a resort style, nothing of the dynamics and vitality of Latin dance club. If that is what you want, fine, but if not-best choose another DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone starting to learn ballroom and latin, 4 Feb 2009
By 
Ms T. Campbell (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Discover Dance - Latin [DVD] (DVD)
Being new to ballroom and latin I found that I was struggling at my newly started dance classes. This CD allowed me to practice and perfect my steps and understand more and has allowed me to progress.
It has proved to be an excellent tool in helping me revise when a partner isn't available. There is the facility of setting up an interactive menu for both partners, male only or female only with the necessary amount of repeat levels one might require - this is an excellent facility at it allows one to perfect steps without having to rewind. Now I am progressing through the beginners class I wanted to see if they was another improvers level but unfortunately there does not appear to be one. I would say a must for learners especially ones without practice partners at home. It has definitely helped me. Discover Dance: Ballroom

5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD will change your life!! Learn to dance like a Pro, 30 Mar 2002
This review is from: Discover Dance - Latin [DVD] (DVD)
I wanted to learn the basic steps before making a fool of myself in the dance school or on the dance floor, so I bought this DVD. Wow, it is so easy to use, fully interractive, shows the perspective of both partners and can be setup using your own preferences.
If you, like me, were a little scared of stepping out onto the dance floor without any training at all, then this is the help you need. It has changed my life for sure, now I am not filled with dread when asked for a dance - no more stepping all over your partners feet!
With the added advantage that DVD offers - user interraction - you can use this training guide exactly the way you want.
I cannot believe this has not been done before - it is such a great way to learn!
If you need any help learning to dance, get this DVD today.
