First video of a great series of Salsa videos December 19, 2000

Level=Beginners Intermediate + ( Not really for absolute beginners or those unsure of the basic Salsa steps) Dance Hot Salsa 1 video starts out with some nightclub & class clips. The instructions start off with sections on subjects like Salsa music & rhythm. These sections include general tips with written key points on the tape. The most important section for me was the Leading & Following Hold section. This is a must view for all females. Note the placement of Josie's hand on Pedro's shoulder. This is the correct position. Many Salsa teachers fail to show this important hand position which leads to mix ups when you are doing certain advanced turns. Included is a written card with the tips & the steps in the video. Josie counts the beats then dances the techniques with music. Josie then finishes the tape with a demonstration of techniques. There are 25 steps shown in this video. They are all shown first in a combination dance then each is shown separately. Video is 45 minutes long. Although this video teaches from the beginner level the steps are fast paced. I feel this video is better suited to those who understand the basic steps. This video is part of a series of videos by Josie on Salsa dancing sold here on Amazon.com most of which are very good.

As the Webmaster for the Internets largest Salsa video site I am happy that Josie's videos have finally gotten here. Of the current 160 Salsa teaching videos on the market Josie's are the best. This review is of Dance Hot Salsa 1 & 2 videos. Dance Hot Salsa 1 starts out with some nightclub & class clips. The instructions start off with sections on subjects like Salsa music & rhythm. These sections include general tips with written key points on the tape. The most important section for me was the Leading & Following Hold section. This is a must view for all females. Note the placement of Josie's hand on Pedro's shoulder. This is the correct position. Many Salsa teachers fail to show this important hand position which leads to mix ups when you are doing certain advanced turns. Included is a written card with the tips & the steps in the video. Josie counts the beats then dances the techniques with music. Josie then finishes the tape with a demonstration of techniques. Video 2 follows the same pattern as video 1 but with more advanced basic steps. This video is better suited for beginners-intermediate, i.e. those who understand the basic rhythm & step. There are 25 steps in video 1 & with video 2 you have 47 different steps. This is all you will need for nightclub dancing. Most of Josies videos are great. There are several others on Amazon.com.

This was my very first salsa video ever, and it is still the best.
I have other beginner videos and they don't come close for these reasons:
1. There is a sequential order to the steps unlike other videos that throw steps at you haphazardly, Josie presents the basics in timing lead and footwork and builds up from there.
2. Each steps builds on the last so you feel like you are progressing and understanding the fundamentals of the dance
3. It shows the entire dancers from head to toe all the time so you don't get lost in fancy filming tricks that just hinder the learning process
4. It comes with a card insert that lists all the steps and the dance combinations of each section.. so useful in the practice studio.
5. It has over 25 moves on it. Some of the other beginner videos have only 11 moves! This is well worth the money.You think others would have seen and possibly improved on this video, but none have so far. This beginner video as well as its 2nd part Dance Hot Salsa Video 2, are still the best salsa instructional videos for beginner and intermediate students around.
 Doesn't teach basics for beginners January 30, 2002
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
I own approximately 40 dance videos, representing dozens of different dance teachers. I am also taking dance lessons, including salsa, at a commercial dance studio, in which I am exposed to a several different teachers. This video demonstrates a number of moves well and is well filmed, despite always showing the moves from the same perspective. Moves are adequately well explained, but it leaves out the most critical information for someone who is a beginning dancer -- Cuban motion, footwork, styling, connection. It does, mercifully, explain how the man should lead the woman to do the dance figure -- a topic which many dance videos neglect completely. If you don't know how to lead a dance figure, your partner will have no idea what you're doing. The instructor in this video makes the same mistake I've seen in some of the other poorer videos: it teaches a number of introductory level moves without teaching any of the basics about movement necessary to be able to dance without looking like you're merely marching through the steps. As such, it just isn't appropriate for a beginner, but contains moves that an intermediate student would probably already know.

This video was a real dissapointment. As a Beginner dancer starting out, this video was not helpful at all. The lessons which they show are very Brief and leave you with that "THats It? " vague feeling. I think if you have danced salsa in the past, or were familiar with it, than it MIGHT be helpful, otherwise if your a beginner, Seek a different Video.
