Great fast pace, great dancer, some repetition

"I have Kisa's first Red Hot Salsa & other dvd though I haven't played it in years. I did like them, but the Cardio/Hip Hop one I needed more breakdown, but I loved her Salsa ones for when I feel well coordinated & looking to move fast w/o breaks.

This one is the same with even live percussion with the prerecorded music alongside. There are chapter choices, blooper reel, behind the scenes & extra step instruction & 30 second practice.

There are about ~10 diff moves she teaches in the separate chapter which she does at 3/4 tempo & tells you quick cues. She never goes slow!

It starts with a 5 min warm up which is the steps you've already learned in the step tutorial, She starts out full throttle right from the start. Then she stops for a slow, decent stretch for 6 min. Then gets right back into it. You never stop, but do slow down to a cool down after 25 min.

She goes back & forth between the diff moves after only doing them 2x each & cueing well in between though hard to switch back & forth so much, but that will teach you better coordination. I only wish there were more moves, even easy ones that still workout your body & the tutorial being taught at a slower pace.

If you're looking for non-stop great moves, not watered down from a fluid teacher, this is it. If you have 2 left feet or need more teaching, try other latin dancing dvds before trying this.

Burnin' up those calories, and having fun!

"Okay, I'd have to admit I may have exercise ADD if there is such a thing. I am always on the look-out for new routines or types of exercise that keep me interested and challenged. This routine is for those that have mastered the basics first. This is much quicker paced than the first video, but again, the moves are well cued and are like taking a dance class. There is lots of repetition as you build the patterns and then create the whole routine. Burn calories? Oh yes, you will definitely burn calories. I work out every day, whether it is a dance work out, cycling, Tae Bo, Power Yoga, Pilates, and this made me sweat and kept me moving. I loved the music and the fact that her instructional segment is on a different part of the dvd, so I don't have to go through that every time I work out. I just cut right to the routine. Lisa is obviously a gifted teacher as well as a dancer and her moves are accurate and sharp, keeping good posture and alignment. If you are looking for a bit of a challenge, and love dance-based work-outs, I would give it a try. I am definitely always watching for her to come out with new dvds as I always know I will get a routine that works me out, makes me sweat and goes by quickly since her choreography is so fun.

Fantastic for the fit/experienced

"This video is exactly what I've been looking for! I have a few years' dance experience and wanted some dance DVD's to add to my home workout library, but its been a frustrating search because so many "advanced" dance videos are really for advanced beginners. This DVD is the answer. If you have any experience dancing, this will be too easy to do every day because it is very repetitive and kind of easy, as said. Still, its a far cry better than any other "advanced" dance dvds I've tried. Not perfect, but better. Someone really needs to make a DVD collection of several, truly advanced routines to battle the boredom factor for people who already know how to dance."
