Step by Step salsa dancing lessons on Video are brought to you by the #1 Rated Shawn Trautman Instruction.

Being possibly the only Cuban guy in the world who can’t dance Salsa, I found this video to be excellent for beginners. The moves are taught very slowly to start off with and then repeated over and over again to give you a chance to learn them as you participate along with the video. Although I was already taking introductory Salsa lessons prior to purchasing the video, I found the video to be a great supplement because, let’s face it, once you leave the dance studio and go back to your regular life you pretty much forget everything you learned. – Rigoberto C.
