The footwork is fast-moving but not difficult to learn, thanks to the careful way perky instructor Giselle Roque de Escobar teaches and cues. She performs the workout accompanied by 6 bare-bellied women and one man, and an exuberant and skillful drummer. Everyone is fit, young, lean, and enthusiastic. The workout heats up quickly and burns for 40 minutes. Recommended for aerobic dance fans who want to spice up their workouts with a Latin flavor. --Joan Price

Marc Anthony: Live From Cali Colombia

"The biggest-selling salsa artist of all time." -- All Music Guide

* El Cantante, a fi lm based on the life of Hector Lavoe, stars Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez. The fi lm recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival to rave reviews and will open in theaters on August 1, 2007. * A rare 2003 performance by one of the greatest salsa singers of this or any generation! * Marc Anthony delivers a passionate, exciting performance from Cali, Colombia on a Latin American tour that took him from Miami to the capitals of Central & South America. This concert captures the raw expression of his tremendous artistic prowess. * Marc Anthony began his career as a songwriter and backing vocalist for pop acts like Menudo and the Latin Rascals. He subsequently collaborated with house producer Little Louie Vega, who featured the singer on the Latin-fl avored club hits "Ride On the Rhythm" and "When the Night Is Over." * In 1992, Vega and Anthony opened for Latin bandleader Tito Puente at New York's Madison Square Garden. Seeking new inspiration from Puente's music--as well as the music of Rubén Blades and Juan Gabriel--Anthony performed at the Latin music convention Radio y Musica, his first step on the road to salsa stardom.

Kathy Smith - Latin Rhythm Workout

You've got to hand it to Kathy Smith--the indefatigable diva of fitness has a knack for staying on top of the cultural curve. Her peppy Kickboxing Workout came out right on the kicking heels of The Tae-Bo Workout and added much-needed polish to that popular workout's moves. Smith's Latin Rhythm Workout, released in the fall of 1999, capitalizes on America's love affair with Ricky Martin and Latin music in general. The workout has great music (unlike a few of Smith's previous videos), provided by a live band at the Conga Room in Los Angeles, and a lot of infectious energy from Smith and her core group of fellow dancers. Whether this works as a workout for you, though, will depend on how quickly you can absorb dance steps. In fact, it's unlikely to get your heart rate up to decent workout levels, unless you're a fairly accomplished dancer used to throwing yourself into the steps. The tape includes a very brief warm-up, and then segments that essentially teach steps like the cha-cha, the samba, and the merengue, followed by a few minutes of cool-down. Because the steps aren't strenuous per se, there aren't two workout levels provided, as in most of Smith's tapes. Included is a bonus segment for you and a partner, to teach you how to take the steps onto the dance floor of your favorite salsa club. --Anne Hurley
