DVD for Casino style and Rueda moves.
(This
will take about 90 seconds to download on a 1meg link)
There
is a list of the demonstrated moves at the bottom of this page!
" 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"
We
have already received many comments similar to this one!
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.

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!
