1. Is It Salsa Dancing or a Salsa Workout?
The very best way to select or pick a salsa dance workout videos is to buy one that comes highly recommended by a friend. When that option isn't available, read the advertising clips on the packaging or website that you plan to buy from. Look for words that say "instructional" or "step by step" as this wording indicates that it's a teaching or instructional video on how to do a salsa dance workout rather than a video just showing salsa dancing. Some good choices for a salsa workout video are "DanceFit Cardio Salsa Sizzler," "DanceFit Cardio, Latin and Retro" and the "10 Minute Solution: Latin Dance Mix." These have dance movements broken down into ten-minute segments, making it easier to learn the salsa movements as you workout.
2. Pick Your Salsa Fire, Beginner to Advanced
Check the information listed on the video packaging that will tell you whether the salsa dancing level in the video is a beginner, intermediate or more advanced level. It will be very frustrating to a beginner to salsa dancing to try to workout to a video that's geared for more advanced salsa dancers. You need to understand what the steps are called, how the movements work, so you'll get a better salsa workout if you pick a salsa dance workout video for your dance level.
3. It Takes Two to Salsa as a Couple
Pick salsa dance workout videos for couples working out or working on their salsa dancing according to the instruction, motivation or dance level that's needed. Couples that dance salsa together may need to work on their turns, dips and connections as couples movements, so they need to select a salsa video that specifically states that it works on those movements such as "Learn to Dance: Salsa and Merengue" or "Salsa, Salsa, With Elder Sanchez."
4. Make Your Own Salsa Dance Workout Video
If you take salsa dance classes and want to do your salsa workout at home, ask your salsa instructor if you could video tape your class, so you can practice at home. Some instructors will be ok with this and some definitely will not, so ask before you make your own video.
