Granda Dance Project: Rueda de Bachata vol 1, Dancing them nicely and giving the Kizomba feel may be a bit more challenging, but the demos from Nelson and Sophia are captivating and convincing. The moves are simple and technically most dancers should be able to master them fairly easily. The only difference between the 2 volumes (except for the moves, of course) is that in Volume 3 the male and the female parts are demonstrated by the male and female dancer alone, while in Volume 4 each dancer explains his or her part while dancing with the partner, which I found more effective. The moves are then progressively combined into the final routine which includes all moves in the DVD. Each move is demonstrated, then broken down into the male and female parts, then danced to music. It is not down to earth salsa, rather a very refined and elegant one, closer to Mozart than to Celia Cruz, but it is worth watching and studying and I recommend you do not miss it.ĭVD available through in on1 or on2 version through *****īased on the format of their initial Vol 1 & 2 DVDs, Nelson and Sophia bring to us 8 more moves in each volume. The turn patterns are danced and explained on2 or on1, filmed with a single camera but demonstrated on all useful views in a visually stunning setting. Care is given to all details of the design of the turn pattern, so that a hand flick becomes a arm throw, a change of position generates the momentum for another surprise and no beat of music is wasted waiting for the next move, but filled with action.Īs you may have already understood these are mostly stage moves, but some of the material may be adapted for the dance floor, provided you put in a bit of work and surely you need to be comfortable with your partner. This talent shows at its best, in my opinion, in the choreography of the 8 turn patterns which represent the main content of the DVD while you would expect a salsa turn pattern to be accompanied by adjectives as ‘cool’, ‘nice’, ‘challenging’, ‘original’, ‘smooth’ and the like, I think calling some of them ‘beautiful’ is not fully out of place the ideas flow spontaneously and despite most of them are surprising, they still look natural, a distinguishing signature of an artistic creation. In the ‘extras’ section of this DVD you will find full-hearted recommendations and admiration of Marchant’s talent from names like Juan Matos, Hache Y Machete and his majesty Eddie Torres: quite an introduction.
