Looking for Afro Cuban / Rumba Instructional videos

Break dancing (Al Espinoza fusion) is not hip hop.

Break dancing (Al Espinoza fusion) is not hip hop.

It’s marketed in his DVDs as both as hip hop floor shines and hip hop salsa. Can you help me understand the difference?

Another Valdes in a nutshell.

He did exactly same workshop at Paris Congress this year. It is a good starting point for basic building blocks for learning rumba.

I really like his Columbia dvd. Builds on the rumba DVD but breaks down the Columbia styling

If you're in NY you might try with Liethis Hechavarria. She's an afro best and most likely knows rumba, but IDK if she actively teaches it.

. I think all of his courses were on dvd-salsa too (which is gone) so I'd still love to find that, but the YouTube ones should be pretty good to practice from too. Thanks! If you ever find a paid resource, let me know

My review of Alberto's commercial DVD for rumba Cubana is here in case anyone is interested.

Alberto Valdes Bases de rumba Cubana DVD review

I've gone through the entire DVD and here are my thoughts: It is a nicely structured (but non linear) instructional DVD. Alberto breaks down each movement and his instruction is shot in 2 different angles - from the back and from the front. I didn't have any problem following his movement...

Has anyone tried the series from hunter houde from my salsa online? The second one seems to have some Orishas based movement

I am on it! I just purchased Hunter's level 2 program but there is a problem with the website. It isn't showing any videos yet. I should have access immediately to Hunter's videos but I am still showing up as a non-member.

The website is using a WordPress learning management system, so it must be a glitch in the software.

I have contacted Joel's team so I am awaiting their response. I am also going to subscribe to the private FB group for paid members so I will see if others have experienced this problem.

I didn't expect this type of hiccup from Joel Dominguez's commercial website as I did a lot of research before buying, but I expect a response from him or his team on this technical issue soon.

Joel's team was quick to respond to the technical issues I was having. It was indeed a software glitch.

It's fixed now and I'm going to work through Hunter's videos now. From what I can see, there's a lot of content to go through. I count 14 videos. I went through the first Orisha video. Really nice quality so far.

Review will be forthcoming...
