Salsa is hot, hot, hot. So before you hit the Latin dance club circuit, learn the basics of this sexy dance. In Club Salsa: Volume 1, instructors Jose DeCamps and Jami Josephson discuss the timing of salsa and how to hear and understand the music. They then teach the basic foot patterns and how to spin and turn. The couple first demonstrates the step, then Jose breaks down the man's part, and Jami does the lady's steps. Next they perform the step together at a reduced speed, usually with their backs to the screen so that viewers can follow along. The final part of their salsa teaching method is to dance the step in time with the speed of the music. A great choice for beginners.
