Summary: Great advanced moves! Just what I was looking for!
Review: Dancing salsa for more than 3 years and was looking for a video to explain some of the fast, new combinations in the night club these days- this was exactly what I was looking for.
It showed the moves, counted them, then explained both man and lady's parts so my partner and I knew exactly where we were going wrong.
We used many moves in our new routine for the contest at our night club and WE WON!
I love Josie's videos.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's Okay just not great
Review: Great improvement instruction wise on her last couple of videos. Very clear & detailed instruction.
This video is for intermediate to advanced level.
However the video is just nice variations on common moves.
There is nothing new or really exciting in this video.
It is a nice video just not great.

Summary: She did it again!!!
Review: I have all of Josie's videos!!. I purchased her two new videos as soon as they became available. I absolutely LOVE both videos 8 & 9. I am a trained dancer and have purchased many videos and taken dozens of latin dance classes from dozens of latin dance instructors. I have always wanted to take lessons from Josie, but I have never been able to. I believe these videos are better because I can go as slow or as fast I like, I can put her on pause when I need to take a break without having to pay extra!!
These new videos are amazing,they both have very clear and concise instruction and are very nicely organized which makes them easy to follow (even for my mom). Before Josie's videos I felt that instructional dance videos were useless, but you have to try them and see for yourself how valueable and useful they actually are. These videos will help you become a beautifully trained latin dancer. If you just learn a few of the combinations you will blow people away on the dance floor. All the the steps and combo's in her new videos are what's hot right now, she is so on top of what's going on in the Salsa World, in fact I think she's a trend setter in the Salsa World. Everybody wants to either dance like her or dance with her. Becuase of these new videos I feel that I truly dance like her. Not only is she gorgeous, but it is obvious how professional she is. They are also fun videos to watch with your friends. I highly recomend both videos to anyone who wants to learn how to dance Salsa from a REAL professional Dancer. They are worth every penny.

Summary: Advanced Salsa Variations Video 8
Review: I have been following Josie for years, taking her workshops and have all of her videos. I also have other advanced videos on the market. Nobody breaks it down like Josie Neglia!
Not only are all the counts described, but this video also has leading tips, following tips, tips for turning and how to execute the moves with better balance and grace.

I have been to salsa congresses in different cities for the past two years and Josie has all the latest trends of salsa moves here- such as hand tosses, multiple turns for men and ladies, surprise endings to cross-body leads...etc.

I love the partnering moves. I use them with my dance partner and we always get a crowd around us at the club.

I highly recommend this video if you want to stand out at the night club!

The other videos I have just don't break thisng down as clearly as Josie's videos do. She's the greatest!

Summary: Advanced Salsa Variations Video 8
Review: Josie has a unique way of breaking down the steps very lucidly. Due to her world travels in 2000 and 2001, she has packed the latest moves of the salsa club scene around the world into this video.
I have learned many of them in only 1 viewing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Josie can do better
Review: Josie is a great Salsa dancer and I love her style and agility, so it hurts me to score her video low.

I think she could have done a lot better. My criticisms are:

1. Salsa is sensual and fun, but they seemed stiff and somewhat mechanical.

2. some of the combinations presented seemed forced. They didn't seem to have a natural flow.

3. I also didn't find the combinations interesting.

4. Taking out the section where all the moves taught are performed while dancing to almost a full song b/4 and/or prior to the moves being taught was a bad choice, in my opinion.

I think her other advanced video was a much much better work.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good video with some nice variations.
Review: My first reaction after watching the video was positive. I thought that Josie and her partner demonstrated useful and advanced salsa variations that can be learned in time and with practice. Before considering learning some of the variations, I watched the video a second time and I was still pleased with the moves, the presentation, breakdown and execution of the salsa variations. Many of them are common, meaning I had already learned them, currently dance them and regularly see the variations executed by salsa dancers here in Toronto. If you are not looking for a flashy background in the video, background salsa music and high energy you will be please with it. It's simple, the steps are well executed and broken down and the variations are advanced moves because you have to have excellent rhythm, timing and body control to dance them properly once learned. This a great video for those looking to continue learning more salsa moves and for those who need a refresher from time to time.
