(this following review refers to the Advanced tape in this set only)

I have wanted this video since it came out, but did not want to spend $59.99 for the entire set. so I bought the advanced tape only in an e-bay auction. With shipping and handling, I got it at a good price. The quality and sound are a little iffy in spots, but when you get things from e-bay, you sometimes gamble with quality. Having said that, I am so glad I did not get the entire set. I was able to do the whole video without the steps video. What a waiste of money to make people buy 4 videos.

About the video- The music is a little corney for my taste. I love REAL latin music, but it is danceable. The video moves pretty fast without much instruction. But trust me, the steps are repeated enough so that you'll get them eventually. The set is simple and the dancers are lively. I've done the tape 3x since I got it 3 weeks ago. It's a lot of fun and I would recommend it for people who love to dance and shake their hips. Hopefully Beto and the gang will make more of these. A "Live" tape would be excellent!

Instructor Comments:
Engaging personality. Doesn't talk much but smiles alot.
