Best Ladies / Men's Styling
Edie "The Salsa Freak

"I would like to say here that I am a traditional thinking dancer in that I believe certain styling techniques should be done by females & certain moves look better done by males.  I do not like males to do female styling techniques except maybe in FUN or to shock your dance partner. Other Salsa videos I have seen have been showing or having styling techniques that should be done only by females. I am well aware that in certain USA cities Men out number Women taking the Women's Styling classes. This is not the case with this video. It is aimed at ladies however because it is very clear in what it teaches I also feel it has some very good UNISEX styling sections.

This video is the best styling video I know off.

The two teachers are both champion performance dancers who give some good demo's. The video has a fun feel to it.  The video gives a written breakdown of what is it.  Many of these sections are also good for males to view.  With all the practical dance steps Edie talks about, She gives a solo demo then a demo with her partner.  For Cuban dancers please take note of the Eagle technique. This is a very common group move in Cuba at the moment.  Most of the moves in Edie's Freedom Concept can be done by either males or females. I must point out that if males are going to do styling try to limit it to only 1 or 2 styling moves per song unless it is a Gay song or you are having FUN.  ( Tip ) You can also do many of the moves in forward basic Salsa/ Mambo position as well as the backstep.  The video has Partnering techniques that is very good information for both sexes.  Remember to try to take the song's origin or word's or your geological location into account on how much styling you do.  This video is a very good length. It not only covers Salsa but Cumbia & Cucarachas styling techniques.  I must say I liked this video. It was easy to follow & it showed several directions like front, back, side of the techniques.  I feel it is good for both males & females for styling techniques."
