Hey everyone, here are my thoughts on Al and Edie Espinoza's beginning and intermediate salsa videos.
Beginning salsa video - this breaks down just the basics. It covers the basic step, hand position, tension between partners, female turn, male turn, cross body lead, cross body lead with a turn, and about five or six shines.
They go into pretty good detail on breaking down the basics. If your new to salsa then I would recommend this video.
Intermediate salsa video volume I - this is a direct continuation of their beginning video (they start off where they left off in the previous video). They break down a lot of beginning/intermediate moves that are leadable. And towards the end they get into a little bit more complicated stuff, but still leadable for the most part. I thought this was a good DVD. I would recommend this for someone who has the basics down and wants to expand on some more moves. But I wouldn't recommend this for someone who has been dancing a while because they will probably be moves that you have already seen before.
