Customer Review: big mistake
YUK! I just recently started downloading mp3s and really screwed up when I bought this thinking it would be the Carlos Santana music I knew in the 60s. What else would "Ulitmate Santana" mean? Instead most of the album is just Santana accompanying some bozo singing stupid disco type songs. My bad. Remember, when it says "featuring so-and-so" it usually means you better like so-and-so and not care too much about who the titled performer is.
Customer Review: Great songs, but...
Carlos Santana has very few bad albums, or even bad songs. (Stay away from his collaboration with John McLaughlin though.) If you're looking for a one-disk compilation and are familiar with his later songs plus his late 60's hits, the songs here will be familiar. But... try Caravanserai, Borboletta, or some of his other unbelievable albums from "in between". If this is all you know of Carlos Santana, you have a lot to discover! What you hear on this disk is just an introduction. I give this review 4 stars rather than 5 not because there are bad songs on this CD (there aren't), but because you, as a Santana listener, deserve more.

Dancing is essentially a mood enhancer and a very good way to burn off some calories as well. But dancing on skates will require some great body balancing skills, and a lot more fun at that. Some popular workouts are jam skating, roller dancing and relaxing. With a pair of roller skates and some funky music, you could virtually invent your own style. If you do together in a group, there is no telling what you can come up with, especially if you put in some acrobatic maneuvers as well. Well, all in, it is just fun.

Through the years, skate dancing has evolved from one form to another. Its popularity has been like a roller coaster ride, sometimes reaching great heights and other times reached ebb. As most group roller skates dancing is done at roller links, its availability has clipped the popularity of roller dancing somewhat. With maintenance at an all time high, it is a sad fact that public roller rinks are shutting down with added frequencies. No matter what, roller dancing will always be a fantastic way for a group to excite themselves, and it will somehow live on, whether there are roller rinks or not.

Roller skates dancing are a great way to stay cohesive with your group of friends. It is very physical because you can see your friends, you can bump into them and you move your bodies in unison to the thumping music together. Contrastingly, you will not be able to sense that reality if you were to just network your friends through the internet! As the saying goes, people need to get physical and not going virtual. You might have thousands of friends in MySpace, but you don't really know them at all.

One of the real benefits of dancing with skates is that you can get a real sweat out. Just dance for an hour and you will burn off 350 calories. It is a real body trimmer, and you will get a wonderful mood after the dancing. It is also one of those rare occasions that you can exercise and still enjoy the music at the same time. If you are a gal, roller dancing on a regular basis will shape your body like a ballerina. Your muscles will be so flexible that you can even contort yourself into a little box.

But before you can dance on your skates, you will have to learn proper skating techniques and also tech yourself stability control on those wheels. Good skate dancing can only be done on quad roller skates. Inlines are not suitable, and if you have basic ice or figure skating skills, you will do well on the dance floor.
