Salsa Dance Workout Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.


I received SalsaCrazy Presents: Salsa Dance Workout and Fitness DVD, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. Salsa Dance Workout was created by the makers of Dance Crazy, Salsa Crazy, and Bachata Crazy series. 

The video first focused on stretching. You stretched your arms, hips, and waist. You learned how to shoulder shake, as seen in traditional Latin dances. You learn to count. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. I believe you pause on 4 and 8. The warm ups and stretching for me took a good 15-20 minutes. The stretches were not hard as expected. I was able to move and follow along with the instructors. 

Then, the instructors start the Salsa Dancing. The first movement is an up down movement and the second is a side movement. These are the beginning movements. The video also has sections for intermediate and more advanced users (not me). I struggled with both the up down and side movements. I couldn't figure out the shift weight movements, but I still had fun trying. The stretches and beginning exercises are low impact. I am not there yet to try more intermediate and advanced routines. I am trying to count the steps on top of learning which step to take with each count without losing focus.

Dance Crazy Bachata Review (Tomoson)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



According to Google,Bachata is "a style of romantic music originating in the Dominican Republic." 

I received the Learn To Dance Bachata, Bachata Dance Mastery System, 3 DVD Set: A Step-By-Step Guide To Bachata Dancing, in exchange for review from Tomoson. The videos was designed by the creators of the Dance Crazy and Salsa Crazy series. 

The cds include beginners, intermediate, and expert. The video is accompanied by latin/salsa music. 

The video is taught by Alison Hurwitz and Jesus Ortiz. 

The video starts with Ortiz and Hurwitz teaching about the history of Bachata. Then the instructors teach step by step, how to bachata from multiple angles. You will learn things like hip triplet. I am still learning the first movement. I have no rhythm and struggle with dancing. The videos are an excellent way to learn ballroom, bachata, salsa,and waltz, even if you are a dance dummy like me.

Only issue, I experienced was the DVD kept getting stuck in the computer.
