Learn To Dance - Waltz DVD

Advantages: Wide range of dances to learn.
Disadvantages: Only shows the very basic steps.

...Like many other people that are hooked by the BBC's 'Strictly Come Dancing', I decided to invest in this dvd by the head judge Len Goodman, which promises to teach us to learn to move like a dancing star. I thought that this would teach the steps of both latin american and ballroom dancing without necessarily needing a partner...not true. If you're buying this, you MUST have a partner to dance with. It's not really something you'll be able to master on your own. On the positive side, the DVD takes you through a wide range of both latin american and ballroom dance. The sections are as follows - 1) The Quick Step 2) The Cha Cha Cha 3) The Tango 4) The Rumba 5) The Waltz 6) The Samba 7) The Foxtrot 8) The Jive Another negative is that he only teaches the man's steps. The woman is just told to do the exact opposite to her partner. So... Read review

...Well a clasic romance movie. Allways will enjoy to see it. It's a nice story about a "girl" and a "boy" who meet eachother in an vacation. The common part it's dance... dirty dance :). She will learn fro him to dance. Will compete in a dance contest. Will win ? ehhh I guess al of you know how is the finish. If no you don't watch it... if you know still watch it (again). It deserves. The performance is great. Patrick Shwaitz plays great here. The romance is very nice. Of course will be some complications with ex-girlfriend( dance partener) of Shwitzy.:) The soundtrack is very memorable! Enjoy... and love!... Read review

.... However there is something missing from John's life that he can't put his finger on. On his train journey home he keeps seeing a beautiful woman looking out the window of Miss Mitzi's dance studio. Quite what triggers his impulsive decision to learn to dance is not really clear. There seems no unforeseen latent desire to waltz, and the attraction to the aloof, beautiful woman, Paulina (Jennifer Lopez), seems fairly superficial, especially when Susan Sarandon is looking so good, and has less of an attitude. However, we go with the flow here as John enrolls at Miss Mitzi's beginners' class, and meets two other men. Chic (Bobby Cannavale) is going because all ladies love a man who can dance and the chunky Vern (Omar Miller) is trying to lose weight and impress his fiancé. The charms of the three men seem to alarm any potential lady students... Read review
