Rogelio and I had such a wonderful 3 years dancing
these steps in our shows and competitions. We got together and decided to
make this video. It was so much fun dancing with Rogelio again and I am
excited to show you this new video.
Josie Neglia, the Princess of Salsa, is certainly
one of the most well known Salseras and teachers in the world. She
was one of the first to come out with Salsa instructional videos,
and they were the first Salsa videos that I ever saw.
Josie is back with a new set of videos on Advanced Salsa
combinations with her new dance partner Alvaro Coronel. They were
filmed after returning from a recent world tour.
The first video deals entirely with partner combinations. We get
11 combinations, each having from 3 to 5 separate moves. The video
is a great entry into Advanced level dancing, as most of the moves
used will be familiar to high intermediate level dancers, yet each
combination contains elements which will kick these moves into
OVERDRIVE, letting
you know you’ve entered the next level of difficulty. Both the
lady and the man get a workout here, making these combinations a
hit for both
partners.
I found the pace excellent, the best of any of her videos. Both
Josie and Alvaro describe everything they do on every beat, and at
a pace slow enough to allow you to practice along without having
to constantly hit the rewind button. The image clarity is the best
I’ve seen on any video; the moves pop out at you and are crystal
clear to follow.
The second video is a mix of partner combinations and tricks.
There are 5 more combinations shown and 12 Advanced level tricks,
which include lifts, jumps, and drops. All of the tricks shown are
different than on her other Advanced level video with Rogelio
Moreno, so don’t worry about duplication between the videos. Even
the guys get to do a few tricks.
I really appreciated the fact that they chose to include key
details such as when Alvaro points out where the man’s weight
needs to be during the Sit N Spin, or when Josie reminds the
ladies to only kick one leg at a time and the other one will
follow, during the flips. These are the kinds of details one
cannot get by just using the rewind button when the step is not
working.
As to my buying recommendation I will say this: the 1st video is a
great video to put some extra spice in your combinations and
although it is meant for Advanced level dancers, everything is
explained so carefully that dancers of all levels will gain
something from this video.
If you’re hungry to start learning those Advanced level flips and
tricks then “ leap “ into the 2nd video, but take the appropriate
safety precautions and find a partner who’s not shy.
If you’re not interested in tricks then you’ll have to decide
whether to buy the 2nd video for the 5 combinations presented, as
they are not any more advanced than the ones shown on the 1st
video, just different.
There’s no reason not to get both as a set.
Visit her website LATINDANCE.COM for ordering information.
As for me, I’m off to buy some mats, and look for some volunteers
for those flips!
