Greater than one weekI think that this is a really excellent system. The only issue I have is it doesnt clearly say what style sals this is. There are sever differnt styles and I was looking for cuban. Other than that it is really great and I have heard from my friends that have purchased other systems and they are not as pleased with theirs.

> 3 dayThe Salsa Dancing Mastery System is a very thorough 5 DVD Salsa dance course. There are a lot of things I love about this DVD set and I actually have (and will be reviewing) several instructional DVDs by SalsaCrazy. I received a copy of this set to facilitate this review. Level: This DVD set is suitable for beginners to intermediate Salsa dancers. And by beginner, I mean absolute beginners would benefit from the very thorough instruction. The first disk primarily covers fundamentals and can see a little dry. It covers important basics like how to count the music, leading and following, and basic steps. It also has an interesting discussion on the history of Salsa dance--as a dance enthusiast I am always interested in the cultural background where a dance style evolves. I appreciate that they include this in the fundamental beginners DVD! I have previously taken Salsa dance classes and use to socially dance Salsa. I am rusty as it has been a while. I found the first DVD a little tedious and was worried about the rest. I think all the information is useful and practice and repetition are key, but others with some background may also feel impatient. Dont worry! The pace does pick up in later disks in the set. By the end of the second DVD, I was quite impressed with how many Salsa moves were already taught. I think many beginners could enjoy themselves on a night out dancing just with the material on the first disk and especially the material on the first two DVDs. I also think a couple dancing with just the moves from the first DVD or two would look fabulous on the dancefloor if they do those moves well and in time. This makes me think this set would also be excellent for couples who want to prepare for a wedding or event. Or for couples with limited access to a sitter who want to make the most of their date nights. I have heard people say they would love to take lessons but cannot afford to hire a sitter an extra night a week. The set is well chaptered with every movement or lesson in its own chapter that you can access from the menu. I have one wish for improvement... I like the chaptering, but with a five DVD set it is overwhelming to find the section of interest to review. I wish they had a paper menu in the liner notes like some other instructional DVD sets. I have a couple small issues with the production, my biggest issue is that in the first DVD, the set is dark (like a night club) and the dancers are wearing dark clothes. It was a little challenging to see the detail on my television (a 33 flatscreen). It was even worse on my laptop screen. However, the producers correct this problem in the later DVDs in the series. I think this set would be highly helpful to a person who wants to dance Salsa, but is intimidated by the music or feels he/she has no sense of rhythm. The instructor breaks down the rhythm is excellent--it does not assume any musical ability. He also counts the music during the practice loops--this was a little tedious to my ears but is a great instructional technique to help you hear the rhythm without thinking. The more you practice to it, the easier you will be able to naturally move to the rhythm like someone with a strong innate sense of rhythm. I highly recommend this set to anyone who is interested in a thorough, logically presented system to learn Salsa dancing at home. It is also a very useful practice companion if you are taking salsa dance classes.

> 3 dayAmazing learning experience. I would buy this DVD-s 100 times, is that good. How do I know? Well, I started dancing on one, and switched to different styles. Why? because I did not have this type of guidance. This course is clear, fresh, and incredible educational. Buy it.

> 3 dayGreat step by step instructional video. The sound is clear and the instructors walk you through each routine. It takes watching the video several times to get the steps right... but thats not the instructors fault. Once you go through the first video you know enough to have fun on the dance floor.
