Here's what BootCamp Members are saying...
"It's amazing how much improvement I was able to accomplish with these videos.. I recommend it to anyone that is just starting or wants to improve their technique."


Robert Robles
Long Island, NY


"In addition to gaining confidence in Salsa dancing, I have gained confidence to do many other things, including talking in front of other people. It has enabled me also to be very comfortable with the opposite sex, in and out of the dance floor ... and I feel that I have become a more 'approachable' male to them. Thanks for your videos!"


Dr. Suji Gunaratne
Portugal

"I think that the salsa boot camp is a wonderful concept for all levels of dancing. Your videos are great, well explained & easy to follow...congratulations & Keep up the good work!"

Francis
Durrango, CO


"I received Salsa Bootcamp Vol. 1 DVD and I absolutely love it! As soon as I received it, I opened it as if it was Christmas. I already knew my basics so I was more focused on the rest of the DVD. I can watch it over and over again and perfect my dancing. What started out as a hobby has taken over my night life. Thanks again!"

 TESTIMONIALS
Here's what our Salsa BootCampers are saying...
"...classes are wonderful when I have the time and patience to dance with a variety of people with different skill levels. I'm a member of the salsa bootcamp and I have received the bootcamp DVDs. I love the fact that I can take my portable dvd player and practice the dance moves. I'm constantly listening to salsa music, I'm hooked."

Robert C. Navarro

"Salsa Bootcamp is GREAT. The instructional Videos are precise and very easy to follow. I learn something new from each one, and because I manage a Dance Studio, I have seen a lot of different methods of teaching, but I like these the best. I always learn something new. Thanks so much for all you do to keep this wonderful site going...I recommend it to everyone!"

Betty Norman.

"The site has been great; very easy to navigate!"
Joy C.

"I am very Happy indeed to be a member of Salsa Boot camp. I have learned so much through the videos...it is so nice to watch, and then practice the steps. Most amazing to me is the free DVD I received, to me it is like Christmas. I can hardly wait to watch it. So keep up the good work, and hope to receive another. Thank you so much, a very happy student."
