 Take this lesson today - go Salsa dancing tonight!Feb 23, 2006
By Love to Dance
These instructors make you feel very comfortable. You will feel like you are on the dance floor with them during this lesson. They give you time to practice each step before moving to the next one and they present skill building techniques to advance in a way that is fun and easy to understand. I especially like the opportunity for the leaders and followers to have a chance to practice the steps during the lesson with and without a partner. The use of picture-in-picture technology adds panoramic views and makes it possible to see the steps from all angles! You will really enjoy learning Salsa using this video!

Salsa DVD reviewMar 06, 2006
By A. Johnson
This is the third DVD from Shawn Trautman that I have gotten (Swing and Cha-Cha are the others), and they are all exceedingly well done. They start from ground zero and progress in very small steps that are a snap to follow. By the time it's over, you will understand the logic behind the dance and know enough to do well on a social dance floor. It will also get you pumped to learned more advanced steps; you won't feel intimidated. I highly recommend it.

 straightforward and enjoyableNov 22, 2006
By LeeAn
Of the three Shawn Trautman DVDs I own, this is the best. (The other two are line dance DVDs.) This is an excellent introduction not just to Salsa, but also to couple's dancing. There are lots of helpful tips (Use "Ladies are always right, and the men get what's left." to remember which foot to start with.) and, in the review section, Shawn and Joanna emphasize not just memorizing a routine, but really learning how to lead and follow so you and your partner can mix and match steps with confidence. I absolutely would recommend this as a low pressure, fun introduction to Salsa dancing. What keeps me from giving it 5 stars? The audio is a little echo-y and the DVD navigation is off. (On my copy at least, I couldn't skip backward, and when I skipped forward I completely missed the chapter I was going for.) But the quality of the instruction more than makes up for any deficiencies in DVD authorship.

Great learning tool for beginnersAug 25, 2006
By Thobes
My wife and I found this video to be extremely helpful and more convenient than taking formal dance lessons. I especially enjoy the picture in picture feature that highlights the steps in detail. This dvd has a broad range of skill levels that goes from the very basics to more intermediate dance steps once you get the hang of it. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn salsa dancing.

It's easier than I thought.Nov 29, 2006
By Rose M. Jenkins
Shawn and Joanna make it easier than I'd dreamed. Their presentation is broken into basic techniques that are easy to understand and easy to learn. Before you know it, you're doing the Salsa!!
