Customer Review: The salsa steps are out of touch with the real world. You may learn something but it will be while crushing your partner's foot like I did when coming out of the side mambo to the forward back salsa step. Nobody does this.

Customer Review: Reviewers here are a little bit harsh on old Cal here. Yes, it's really corny and cheesy and everyone is so stiff, they can be cardboard cutouts. But for the beginner, this is not all that bad. It does teach you basics and it reviews every move very thoroughly. It is a bit of a waste of tape if you... more info
Customer Review: I thought that this was a wonderful intructional tape. The steps were easy to follow and very enjoyable. I highly recommend it for beginners and people wanting to learn a type of dance that is fun and exciting.
