Movie Reviews of Salsa Crazy Presents: Learn to Salsa Dance, Intermediate Series, Volume 2
Movie Review: Continued excellence
Summary: 5 Stars
This second volume continues at the level of quality of the first in giving the viewer an introduction to the techniques and joys of dancing salsa. Anyone who has chosen to continue with this collection of lessons has without doubt felt the joys of salsa dance and succumbed to its addictions. Salsa is one of the few dances that allow a large degree of creativity, this due in part because of the flexibility in the partners' frame and the attitude that is encouraged by the music itself. Leading and following is still of course very important, and this video gives many hints in this regard.
The video begins with a collection of warm-up patterns, all of these being drawn from Volume 1. The instructor then covers the inside (left) turn for the lady with belly roll and neck roll variations included. This is followed by the inside turn with a "check", where the lady is stopped and sent back.
Switching to the two-hand hold, the instructor discusses the hammerlock (which he said can form the basis of a "million moves.") Many interesting and fun variations are discussed, such as the hammerlock spin, with hand drop and hair spin, with inside turn, with leaders left turn, leaders head loop, and the cross hand-hold with dual hairbrush.
The video ends with instruction on the cross-body lead, considered to be a `fundamental move' by the instructor, and he uses this to set up the techniques to be discussed in Volume 3.
All of these movements, at least with practice, can be done on a real dance floor, as they must if the partners are to really have a good time. But the size of the real dance floor will also dictate to what degree these patterns can be executed. A crowded dance floor is typical with salsa. After all, all who have done it are addicted, and cannot resist the temptation to get on the floor when its seductive rhythms are heard and felt.
