Cal Pozo's Learn to Dance in Minutes: The Basic Lessons

Buy This Item Cal Pozo's Learn to Dance in Minutes: The Basic Lessons by Parade Video  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 11-24-2008     Well organized and appropriately paced, dance instructor Cal Pozo's <I>The Basic Lessons</I> covers the fundamentals of ballroom dances including the foxtrot, rumba, cha-cha, mambo, lindy, and more. Each dance is taught in four sections: an explanation and history of the dance, animated footprints stepping out the moves, the perspectives (front and back) of each partner, and finally, a full-out demonstration. There are a few drawbacks. The music is ultra-cheesy (remember the canned music that used to blare from the organ store at your local mall?), and the sets and dancers' wardrobes recall the worst moments of '80s fashion. But practice while no one is looking, maintain your sense of humor, and--even if you can't chew gum and walk without stumbling--this video will have you swirling on the dance floor in no time. <I>--Beth Massa</I> Reader Reviews Although I work out regularly with step and aerobic dance, social dance is a new beast to me. My husband and I watched this video separately and then got together to practice the steps. Cal is very supportive and friendly; he assumes you know nothing about dance and really does teach you the basics, which I would have trouble learning in a class full of other folks. Yes, folks, it's just a start, but it's a great way for rank beginners to get their feet moving. We're purchasing more of the series and recommend this video for those of you who want to dance at the weddings instead of sitting on the sidelines watching.
