DVD Testimonials
 

Hi Edie,
ABSOLUTELY LOVED your DVD. Hopefully my comments below will help :)
Keep up the great work! 

 My review of your Musicality DVD
 

Simply a must have. One of the best DVDs that I have ever seen both in idea and execution. Musicality allows the creativity of the human spirit to shine!

Imagine an art class where the students are to paint a picture of a vase sitting in the room. Although it is the same vase for each student, each painting can be different depending on the mood, angle, experience and personality of the artist. That expression of self creates the art as does musicality transform movement into dancing.

 

Like the art students having the same vase to work with, most salsa dancers know similar moves with similar music being played at most clubs. Thus by applying musicality, you can convert your dancing from a homogenous regurgitation of the vase like everyone else's into a living and breathing piece of timeless dynamic art!

The Musicality DVD first makes you aware of the difference musicality plays in your dancing, then gives ideas for you to incorporate it into your own with brilliant examples of musicality in dancing to various music. The DVD develops your musicality skills and awareness so that you can take your tools, i.e your music and moves, and breathe more life into them as you are now a PART of the art! Throughout time, we have revered those incredible individuals that make art. This is the intention of the DVD: TO make your dancing become art!

 

From a practical perspective, Edie and Peter detail different types of salsa music telling you to dance to the music then giving examples. I love that they first teach the principle then give ideas of how to interpret that principle giving both something to begin with plus grow from.

 

Thank you Edie and Peter!!!

Hi Edie,

I wanted you to know that I absolutely love these videos. I think what you have done with this best leads series is so far ahead of anything out there. I have 4 so far (with Ronald and now Peter). The moves are fantastic and volume of information is great, but my favorite elements are the points where you identify what makes the lead so effective. I have been dancing a while and I am surprised by how much I have learned.

I am genuinely impressed with what you have accomplished. You should also know that I have a pretty large library of salsa DVDs (must continue elevating my dancing J ) so I have a lot to compare them with.

Thank you both for your assistance.

Wow,
Just a quick note. Watching your DVD with Al (styling) and my goodness you have a come a LONG way since then. Your recent DVD's (musicality and bachata) are superb and I love your additional input. Edie, keep up the great work and you will change people's lives when you give yourself in Brisbane. 

Have fun!

Hi Edie,
Your DVDs very well done (like the rest of the Leads series). I really enjoyed that the combinations section takes great familiar moves and packs them with flavor. I am looking forward to receiving the advanced Jazzy DVD. Do you have any others in this series (besides Ronald, Peter, and Jazzy) that you are especially proud of? I may as well start thinking ahead J. Thanks again and continued success.

Dear Edie,

Your World's Best Leads DVDs are amazing, especially those with Jazzy and Joe Figueroa. Ever since I saw you first in the Salsa Congress in Bangalore, something's happened to my salsa dancing. (And every time you danced with me you made me look good—so good, in fact, I received couple of complements.) The workshops I took in the congress, followed by the recent bootcamp in Bangalore, are giving me a great positive outlook on salsa. I love the fact that, both in the bootcamp and in the videos, you covered many practical aspects of dancing. The important points/tips you give in your interviews in the videos are the most useful instructions I have ever received. Showing turn patterns is not that difficult and not enough! But going beyond by stressing not much emphasized (but all very important) points like posture, attitude, integrity, etc….

You are amazing; hats off to you and your team, Edie. Please accept my heartfelt congratulations to you on your success in this project.

I look forward to many more quality and useful DVDs from you. Lost in admiration, as always,

Sultan

Received the 3 dvd's.   Thnx a mil for those.
I've only watched the spins and i gotta tell ya. OUT  [F......ing] STANDING!
Really well done.
 
Many thnx!
 
Dear Edie,
 
Hope this letter finds you well. I bought some of your instructional CD's at the salsa congress in Palm Springs. By far one of the best buys of the year. I would like to purchase the New CD you are making with Cristian Oviedo. When will that be available for purchase?
 
Thank You for sharing your salsa passion with everyone.
May your days continue to be bright and energetic.
 

Hi Edie,
We danced together in Lancaster on your way to the DC Salsa congress in the springtime.  I ended up buying your Salsa Syllabus 101-102 and 103-106; I like them very much.

Cordially  Philippe 

Hello Edie,

I have just going through your latest DVD's. Your enthusiasm and insight into salsa has really been an inspiration for me. You seem to have a sixth sense as to the future of salsa as a teacher and as a businesswoman. Other teachers come and go, or have their 15 minutes of greatness, but you are still there and still growing and surviving in a very tough market place...especially for a woman.  In the past two years you have taken me via DVD's from basics with Al, to basics in Miami, to salsa combination in Miami and now to salsa around the world. Now I see you are showing salsa on 1 and 2 with Ron Weberink. The salsa world in the US needs that now—I am seeing so much of the salsa on 2 influence even in Pittsburgh with people from New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Boston that visit Pittsburgh. You are something else, Edie. A special woman with a special dream to teach salsa ......that can only happen when you love something with your heart, because then you can teach it from your heart and not just from your head...

Thanks for teaching us all how to love salsa...and best of luck my friend and teacher.

Hi Edie,

I just wanted to tell you that I'm having a wonderful time learning from
your syllabus 101-106 DVDs and your DVD with Salsafix. It has really helped my lead
a lot.

Last Saturday at a salsa club, I had three people come up to me wanting me to teach them those flashy moves (Mummy, Wheel Barrel, Surprise Dip, Titanic, etc.) that I learned from you. Thanks. I just ordered your Men’s
Styling DVD with Jazzy.

Hi Edie,
I just finished watching your salsa syllabus 101-106  DVDs . Just want to
let you know the instruction of the moves is awesome.

Sincerely,
 Kenny

Edie,

The DVD's you recommended to us...  I LOVE them!  I can't wait to practice them and advance through the rest of your DVD series.  I wish I had taken advantage of the deal you had at the congress!  Had I known how amazing they are, I would have purchased 
most of them there.
