" This DVD is addictive, each time I look at it, I just have to check one more move...and
an hour has passed. The interactivity is easy and the whole DVD is fascinating"

The DVD starts with a rolling introduction about Cuba.
This has visually stunning images from Cuba which is beautifully accompanied by Rumba music.
We then go on to show a Rueda performed by ten dancers, five couples.
There are three of these , a beginners piece, an intermediate piece and a fast advanced piece.
While a piece is playing there is a menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
Every time a move is done the name of the move appears on the screen and allows you to hit a button...
which will then take you straight to the teaching of how to do that move from four angles.
The next section is another Rueda but this time with the best six dancers in a faster advanced dance.
More than 40 moves are illustrated with 4 viewpoints so you can see hand, feet and body actions.
Each of these pieces of video repeat automatically and you can slow, reverse and analyze them in detail.
Various extras are included , for example a full length promotional piece from Osvaldo Chacon,
“ Mi Vicio” with a great dance sequence. The full musical tracks and production slides.
More than 200 minutes of teaching and visuals, very accessible and fun to watch.
As a dancer at any level this gives you a chance to review all aspects of the movement,
and as a beginner you can get to grips with the names, the calls and the process of each move.
Detailed visual teaching of Rueda de Casino moves in Cuban style led by Leo Henriquez, beautifully and clearly shot and explained.
All you ever wanted to review and practice rueda moves. Here is a list of the moves demonstrated:

“Mi Vicio” music video and dance
In beginners and intermediate sections you can choose the move from the live action as it plays,
or from a menu. You then have a choice of 4 different viewpoints, of which the feet and whole viewpoint are most useful.
The move is then played in an automatic repeat so you can examine and copy it.
There is over 2 hours of video footage with many extras that are useful to a rueda or Casino dancer.
This is the most comprehensive rueda DVD available.
Using two new, specially commissioned, tracks written by Osvaldo Chacon and produced by Alex Wilson,
you will want the DVD just to own the music..the best of UK and Cuban music combined!
