### 2/5 — Body flight? Body flat.

*2023-03-17, version 3.12*

Although all the patterns are here, I cannot get over the lack of body flight, Cuban motion and terrible foot positioning to learn from the content as it was very distracting. Pigeon-toed steps are not pretty to look at and definitely should not be emulated.

### 5/5 — Addicted to Salsa Basics

*2019-02-20, version 3.12*

Easy to follow instructions given for individual moves. Each section builds on the next.

*2018-08-11, version 3.10*

I learned basic salsa 32 years ago, but always wanted to learn more but never had time to go to actual classes. This app is awesome! I’ve learned so much my wife and I have always been addicted to salsa now we are addicted to this app.

### 1/5 — Como cambio idioma?

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-10-02, version 3.9.4*

I teach on1 and on2 and chacha to students at a medical school and am really thinking seriously about structuring the class around this app so that my students can quickly reference videos when social dancing. The timing and styling videos are particularly helpful for the beginners and the advanced videos are a good challenge for me. Fun all around! Thanks for making this app!
