Edie, Hi my name is Duane Kingston. I've seen you a couple of times and introduced myself and Jimmy Anton's Social. I told you that your tapes with the guy from Colorado were my guide in learning how to dance. I learn so much from the two of you and incorporated that so much in to my dancing. Especially living in NC at the time those tapes is still the best. And it was the best exposure I could get to that much instruction. "60 moves in 60 minutes" for real. - Duane Kingston Dear Ms. Edie, As a matter of fact, Josie Neglia was my first video teacher since last May in 1998 when I started to learn Salsa in Macondo, one of few Salsa clubs in Seoul. It gave lots of pleasure cause some of those instructors of Salsa in Seoul did not satisfy me. Next was Eddie Torres. I liked it as well. Much more dynamic than the former. And finally several months ago, I happened to find your Cool Moves Revealed with Shock !! It was literally nothing was covered but revealed. As mentioned, I used not to have partner, always video instruction has forced me to do more practices. But I've been so happy to find such a dream-like treasure island as Cool Moves Revealed. Now in Korea there has been a rapid spread of Salsa atmosphere in particular, compared with those days I started Salsa about a year and half ago. Most of this unexpected cultural trend should be attributed to activities by groups based on the Internet Providers' networks. Salsa people and people to be Salsa meet and communicate each other thru the cyber network. At this moment, I now am watching your dance and practicing some of your Salsa dreaming myself one day dancing with you. Provided any new version of video be released, I shall be informed first. From my small heart (I'm very thin), I wish to appreciate your reveal of those marvelous videos with which my life is filled with lots of happiness suddenly. I wish your End-Millennium Salsa Party be still going and finish with much success, and resume endlessly for another millennium !
Hi Edie, However, we both know that Salsa has a beauty that transcends cultural differences and racial lines. What Ive learned from instructors, other dancers, and especially yourself inspired me to write an article on the phenomenon of Salsa which was recently published. I recently ordered your "Cool Moves Vol. 2" video and it is truly the best one I own. It's easy to follow and most of all, it's beautiful to watch. I watch it all the time just so I can try to perfect my own style. I love dancing on the one but the best thing is that you can adapt all the moves to dancing on the 2,3 or 4 for that matter. Which leads me to my next question......When is Cool Moves Vol. 3 coming out? And for that matter, Vols 4, 5, 6-100? I can't wait Edie.....Take care and long live Salsa!!! Hi Edie, I have to comment that your Cuban Casino Style dancing is the smoothest, most "in control" I have ever seen. Consider I lived in Miami for 3 years and you will realize the strength of that comment! I just received your video with Edie!! I just want to tell you that you had some really awesome moves!! For a caucasian, you move very well with the salsa. Most caucasian men I know have absolutely no rhythm!! Big ups to you and your talent!! "Eric and Edie - Congratulations! Your new Cool Moves video is not only fantastic but it is such a great value as well! This video is great for the person who is new to salsa or someone who has been dancing for years. The clarity and quality of the video made it easy for us to follow and execute any of the moves. We're excited and can't wait until Cool Moves III comes out! Maybe you can show us how to link all of these moves together!!! Thanks" "I just received my salsa tape today. I don't believe it. And I can't believe the moves that I've seen already. I must have have screemed at that tape at least a couple of times. 'Cool moves' is an understatment. I cant wait to get at least 35-40 of those moves down pat so that I can show them off this summer. you said that there is a list of over 1500 different moves? It's mind boggling. I really enjoy watching you two dance together. And Eric is one of the smoothest dancers I've ever seen. I've already started stretching exercises with the hopes that I could try to be as limber as he is. Thanks for creating this tape. I don't even want to think about what the next '60 cool moves' tape is going to be like. It would be too much for me to handle right now. Thanks again.." "The solid rhythm of the dancers makes understanding how the steps are done quite simple -- you won't have trouble learning all the moves from watching the tape... Two of the outstanding features of Eric Freeman and Edie, The Salsa FREAK's dancing are their precise standards of position and rhythm. It makes for a very clear presentation of where your feet and body should be on each beat of the music... "Hi Eric: I just received the Cool Moves vol II video and just wanted to let you know what a great job you and Edie have done. Your organization and teaching styles are excellent and the collection of moves you've chosen is great--lots of variety and many wonderful inspiring patterns. I like having several different styles of moves included and also the inclusion of some 'classic' moves. (There were several very nice moves that I'd known at one point but had forgotten about... Now I can remind my partner to lead them more often.) Anyway--it's a great tape. Maybe it could be the beginnning of an entire video encyclopedia of moves....(!)" "We believe this video would be more applicable to intermediate salsa dancers, since the moves aren't broken down in great detail. We like it because there are so many combinations on one video. Also we like the fact that you show variations of the same combination. The beginning of the video is great when you demonstrate dancing on the one..two..three...cuban...etc. This is often an area of confusion with dancers who are only accustomed to dancing on one specific beat. The verbal step counting and written breakdown of each combination is especially helpful. Seeing and trying to learn these 60 cool moves makes us yearn for the other 1440 cool moves you have left to show!!!" I recently received the Cool Moves (Revealed) vol II video and I was very satisfied. I've seen some of the these moves at the club before but instructors in this area do not teach them. The Cuban style moves were wonderful to see and the casino rueda demonsration was quite beautiful. Great mutliple turns, double hair comb moves, head ducks, free spins etc. Edie also adds some great styling for the follower. ...my favorite is Cool Moves Revealed Vol II. Sixty moves at $30 is a great bargan and Edie is terrific with her emphasis on female styling.
