Frequently Asked Questions about SalsaIsGood products

Will these DVDs work in countries outside the U.S.A?

Are the DVDs offered in languages other than English?

Can I see a sample of the material in the DVDs before I buy?

Can I get a written copy of the vocal explanations of the material in each DVD?

I'm a beginner. Which videos should I buy?

It depends on what you would like to learn:

I've been dancing for a while and want to increase my repertoire? Which is the video for me?

Have a look at out Turn Patterns DVDs. You won't believe how many turn patterns and in how may different styles you will find! On1, On2, NY style, LA style, Puerto Ricna Style and even Cuban

I want to be able to dance with anyone regardless of their style. Which video can help me with that?

Yes! That is our philosophy too. We say salsa dances need to be multilingual and be able to dance On1, On2 and even Cuban salsa. We have a few DVDs which help make the transition from one style to another having ourselves started with Cuban style, then converted to linear on1 and finally to NY style on2. We can help you to do the same so that you can travel the world dancing salsa and always find your place on the dance-floor!

Our From Salsa to Mambo (via Cha Cha Cha) and Timing Exercises Vol 2 (2 DVDs) help understand the difference between On1 and On2 and hwo to perform all basic salsa elements in both styles.

Our DVD Advanced Salsa Figures in NY/LA and Cuban Style shows how a set of new moves can be interpreted in the 3 salsa styles so that you can learn these and then do the same with your existing repertoire.

Our DVDs Salsa with the Stars also show how the same moves can be interpreted in many different styles as demonstrated by our international guest stars. You learn the new material and then you see the endless variations according to style and individual interpretation.

I have a good repertoire of moves but I want to get ideas on how to avoid looking like everyone else on the dance floor. Help?

The only way to avoid looking like everyone else in your home town on the dance floor is to develop your own individual style. The best way to do this is to look at the experts, get ideas from them and then put together what suits you. This can be difficult to do when watching video clips of the stars as the moves are all so different to start with. However, our DVD Salsa with the Stars shows how a set of 15 moves can be interpreted by the best dancers in salsa so that the same material can look completely different. Why? Because they all add something new from their personality, their individual style and their own repertoire of tricks. Of the 43 stars in the video no two are alike!!

Based on aa similar idea, our Bachata Caribbean Style Vol 1 and Bachata Caribbean Style Vol 2 show different Bachata masters styling their dancing with their unique feel.

What about converting from on1 to on2?

Our From Salsa to Mambo (via Cha Cha Cha) and Timing Exercises Vol 2 (2 DVDs) help understand the difference between On1 and On2 and hwo to perform all basic salsa elements in both styles.

I sometimes lose the beat when I'm dancing. Is there a fool-proof way to stay on time?

This is one of our specialities and we have produced many products on this very topic, each of them organised in a different manner and exploring different approach to learn rhythm and timing.
