DVD Invitation to Dance: Wedding Dance - Waltz Slow Dance & Rumba
Review(s): DVD Invitation to Dance: Wedding Dance - Waltz Slow Dance & Rumba
Welcome Addition to My Dance DVD and Book Library
I have been dancing a wide variety of styles for a while now and collect dance instruction DVDs and books--as well as have regular private and group instruction. Dance is a passion that I have dedicated myself to.
I love this DVD. It is has good basic and intermediate info, and is easy to follow (at a low price, and with a music CD to boot). I do not see it as a substitute for real good solid one-on-one training with a live dance instructor--but as a nice supplement. And in spite of my dance experience I find that there is always something new that I learn from different instructors than my regular one, and how they explain something in a slightly different way or show some nuance I had not noticed before.
I love Kyle's relaxed, calm, patient style of teaching on this DVD. And I did like the little gentle musical interludes between lessons showing ordinary people dancing, enjoying themselves, and exuding their love of dance. This is what dance is about.
Kyle's everyman, all-American demeanor underscores that anyone can learn how to dance with proper training and dedication.
horribly outdated
This video is very misleading. It shows a younger couple on the front very modern looking, copywrite 2003, then when you watch it, everything is from the 80's from way outdated dance steps. I can't see anyone under 80 dancing to these dances.
sloppy - just the steps without good form
IF you know nothing and don't intend to ever take lessons or get it right, then these are ok. But the details of the dance are so sloppy that if you ever want to take lessons or learn to dance right, then don't waste your time with these DVDs

As in other reviews, we've tried a number of other videos and DVD's on dance lessons. We found this one particulary helpful as it shows a good balance between the leaders and followers part. We took 6 private lessons before we found this DVD and thought this was a better value. We are looking for more advanced videos now.

This DVD has helped my wife and I become better dancers. It features the teacher and his partner but then shows very average people of all ages dancing throughout the DVD. Being male, I was a little intimidated by this at first but quickly lost that feeling because of the pace and teaching techniques the instructors use. Good buy! Only drawback is that if you rewind often to watch and practice on your own, you quickly get tired of the music being played.

When I first put this dvd in the machine I was shocked to hear Country Rock music being played as the sound track. I was immediately discouraged about what I had just bought. The people dancing to the music were't particularly inspiring either. You wouldn't watch them dancing and say "wow! I would love to dance like them!" The dance instructor wore his best pair of jeans for the occasion. In other words the video is extremely square and low budget and I'm not sure these people have ever actually heard swing music.
On the other hand, the steps are presented well enough and if you have some good swing music to dance to and make an effort not to be as stiff and square as everyone in the video you can learn some moves and get some basic dance steps under your feet.

Ballroom Dancing for Beginners will appeal to novice ballroom dancers who want an introduction to several different social dances. Instructor Teresa Mason, assisted by Randolph Scott, teaches basic patterns for six popular ballroom dances: fox-trot, cha-cha, tango, waltz, rumba, and swing. Mason sensibly begins by introducing steps that recur in many ballroom dances, such as walking step, rock step, and triple step; several dance positions; and music timing for different dances. Next you start learning specific dances. This 47-minute video is well instructed, not rushed or complex, and Mason doesn't try to pack too many moves into each dance. The black background, however, is somber and sometimes makes it difficult to see Scott's moves clearly (he's dressed in a dark suit). The...

Learn social dance basic steps and snippets of routines in ballroom, Latin, country/western, wedding, and disco. Instructor Teresa Mason offers practical tips that apply to all social dance: attire, dance etiquette, poise, posture, rhythm, and connection. Then she introduces the basic steps, variations, and styling of 5 different dance styles and 12 different dances within those styles. Elegant, competition dancers in gorgeous costumes present inspiring mini-routines, then demonstrate basic steps--first with leader alone, then leader and partner, and finally to music. There's not much instruction about how to do each step: it's basically watch and imitate. You won't become a fabulous dancer just by following this 80-minute DVD, but you will have a better understanding of social...
