Salsa instructie-DVD recensie: Jorjet: Shines on2, level 3 & 4

Instructie DVD recensie door Fabio Boschetti for salsa-dvds.com. Deze DVD is voor alle dansers die meer willen weten over Shines on2. De recensie is in het Engels omdat de DVD dat ook is. DVD te bestellen via www.salsa-dvds.com.

I wish this series had been produced years ago, since I have been looking for something like this for a long time. People living outside NY know that NY style comes with a very long set of shines which are considered `standard`; Troy in the DVD calls them `the shines you have to know`. Still, unless you can fly to NY and take classes there, these shines are hard to come by. They are interspersed in a few DVDs, but these DVDs seem always to be fairly stingy in terms of amount of material, and the full repertoire is hard to find.

In the series, finally, the collection is made available to poor mortals living outside NY; thanks Troy and Jorjet.

There is plenty of material which implies less time in explaining. Troy vocalises the music count of the shines and give some hints on how to perform them, while Jorjet executes them, first `raw`, then with style. I don`t need to add that she is very good at it. This DVD gives space for styling, which Jorjet does not waste.

The filming is done from the back while Jorjet faces a mirror. This way you have ample view of both footwork and styling.
You will need to use your remote to view them a few times in order to learn them but aside from that, this is a treasure.
Of course this is on2 material, modern mambo, and on1 dancers will need to put the work in to convert them, but you were after NY shines, right? Highly recommended!
