Format:VHS Tape
This video is generally quite good if you're a very beginner as it teaches you some (but not all) of the basic salsa steps. As well as this, there is a short section on styling so that you don't look wooden when you dance. The first section you dance on your own and later in the video, dancing with a partner is covered. Unfortunately the importance of the lead isn't emphasised or shown enough so the guys may get a little lost with this video. Although this is a nice introduction to salsa, if you don't plan to take up proper lessons then you may find this video frustrating after you have watched it a few times as it is very limited in what it teaches you. However, it is a good video to use to get some practice in before you start taking lessons although this may be considered as cheating!

The SALSA CD by the same name is excellent with some beautiful examples of charanga among many other styles of salsa.
The video itself though is not good value for money. The exaggerated arm styling demonstrated poses a very real danger of encouraging beginners to develop a very unattractive style of dancing.
The supporting dancers are not always co-ordinated with the instructor and indeed the lead supporting male dancer makes noticeable mistakes on several occasions. Making a instructional video is by no means an easy task but such errors should be edited out before release on the consumer market.

This video is a great way to tone up legs and learn Latin steps. Great fun! The dance workout segments are only 10 mins long interspersed with Pilates work. The new book the Spark suggests 10 mins is enough a couple of times a day, but for those who expect to sweat for half an hour, this is not for you.

Everybody salsa!
It is a funny and informative lesson. Irene Miguel has got the sweetest accent. If you don't know hhow to dance at all it is a good place to start.

Disppointing and seemingly unfocused
This video and its predecessor are based on the same format of individual steps followed by upper body work followed by partner work. Read more

very good for basic body rhythm of Salsa
The video uses most of its time to demonstrate the many basic steps and rhythm of Salsa. It is done as a group routine with Irene leading through each of the steps. Read more
