A great and uniquely organized salsa instructional DVDAug 01, 2006
By DIJR
After viewing tons of different beginner and intermediate salsa videos, I believe that this volume 2 of Hot Salsa is a great and uniquely organized instructional DVD. There was an attention to detail that I found helpful (particularly for those that are transitioning from beginner to an intermediate level); he managed to do this without dragging it to long like some other videos do. In addition, my partner and I really liked how he worked in variations; for example, he taught variations for open breaks and for cross body leads. Although they are not different patterns in of themselves, they are simple and easy to learn moves that add variety to one's dance, especially for beginners who have a limited number of patterns to work with. One thing that was also different that I liked about this video was that he included a section with music (very good music too). Therefore, instead of practicing when they practice, you have the ability to just select your music on the DVD and practice with your partner. The only thing that I would have liked in this video are more patterns; however, if you include the patterns taught in his first DVD, with that of his second, and include his variations, one actually has a decent amount of material to work with on the dance floor. For a long standing intermediate salsa dancer myself, I am looking forward to seeing what he can put forth in his advanced videos.

Highly Recommended Instructional Salsa DVDJul 02, 2006
By BARRY Barton
This review applies to both volumes (Hot Salsa Lessons vol. 1 & 2). These are excellent salsa instructional DVDs for the following reasons:
I have seen 2 other top instructional salsa DVD series from two different but highly respected salsa instructors but by far Ken Baldwin explaines in such careful detail each aspect of each basic step, drill, salsa pattern or styling move that he teaches.
These other teachers tend to show you the moves or patterns rather quickly, and the way they teach/demonstrate the moves often has you wondering "How did they do that?" or "I don't get it" or "How do my feet move again?" or "What do I do with my hands again?" etc. I find myself having to replay them over and over again to try and figure out the moves mostly by obsevation.
But Ken Baldwin teaches in much more depth and shows that he cares by being serious in what he teaches. Foot-cam close ups, salsa patterns shown at regular AND slow-motion speed, original salsa music to practice to (Vol 2) are just a few of the many features and bonuses on these DVDs.
Although serious and professional in teaching, there is also an enjoyable light-hearted aspect as well and both volumes include some very humorous moments. I found myself laughing quite a few times. They are fun to watch and a great learning tool.
I highly recommend.

Confessions of an AddictJul 12, 2006
By David R. Hughes
"Eurodave"
Hello, my name is David and Im a 'Salsaholic'.I own over twenty instructional DVD's, but I can stop buying them any time I like. At least that's what I tell myself.
Ken's DVD's are at the very top of my most watched. You really get alot packed into this one. He spends alot of time with the small simple stuff which makes you a much more stylish dancer, (It's the small moves that get you noticed).
If you want fifteen complex patterns and not much else, this really isn't for you.(there are five cool ones at the end though).
I have to mention the music in this one,it's so fresh and will stay in your head for days after you first hear it.
If there is anyone who loves dancing & teaching Salsa more than Ken, I've not come across him. (although the dude from "the learn to dance salsa series" comes a close second) VIVA LA SALSA

don't just be a good dancer be a great dancer !!Jun 16, 2006
By Dean Robbin
after veiwing ken's first dvd I couldn't wait for this second dvd to come out and continue this great series in salsa dancing. The main reason I liked the first dvd was the simple and clear way the moves were explained and presented and broken down. I was very happy to see that this second dvd continues this exellent way of teaching and smoothly brings you up from begginner to intermediate level.another bonous in this dvd is the fantastic salsa music that can be played seperatly for practice.This dvd was worth every penny I spent for it and I'm all hope that this isn't the last one in this series.

Simply Excellent!Aug 04, 2006
By lbec
"focus man"
Outstanding!! Please come out with more DVDs! This instructor is the best I've come across. He gives you the technique and insights of a master dancer. (especially from the leaders perspective) Good technique is essential to dancing well and worth hundreds of dollars in private instruction. There are DVDs with more patterns but they are "fools gold" for rank beginners who are misled in what they need to dance well. They are badly taught by rushed and incompetant instructors, who emphasize no technique or style. They make the leader and follower look like a comedy act on the dance floor. Without technique you can't lead or do the dance with anyone, well that is.
