Salsa
 

top

Salsa is a spicy, zesty, energetic and sensual partner dance. It is considered a "street dance" as it is free and spontaneous. Some of the areas of emphasis include:

 Connecting with your partner
 Indicating and interpreting leads
 Partner and personal weight management
 Building blocks of Salsa moves
 Positioning and body space

Our Salsa classes are divided into "A" and "B" classes. The "A" classes focus mainly on the footwork of fundamental moves, while the "B" classes focus on the variations of these moves, through the the use of intricate arm movements.

Levels offered:

Level One A Salsa, Level One B Salsa, Level Two A Salsa, Level Two B Salsa, and so on.
 


Casino Rueda

Rueda is a fun Cuban group dance, made up of couples dancing Salsa in a circle. During the dance, one person will call for specific patterns to be executed, at specific times, by all. There is a constant changing of partners, which makes it a vivid and joyful spectacle.

Although Rueda is done as a group, the patterns can also be applied to regular Salsa dancing. Rueda patterns are very intricate and beautiful to watch. As such, learning Rueda can greatly enrich your repertoire of Salsa moves.

Levels offered:

Intro to Rueda, Rueda Two, Rueda Three, Rueda Four
 


Bachata

Bachata is a romantic dance characterized by he sensual thrust of the hips to one side. Although the basic step is easy, as with all Latin dances, the hardest part is getting the body action. In Without the hip and body action, Bachata just isn't Bachata.

In our Bachata workshops, you'll learn how to perform your steps with the right body movement. As Bachata is all about hips, you'll learn the secrets to swaying your body and thrusting your hips on the one-beat pause in a sensuous and fluid manner. That will make the difference between looking like you're marching, and looking like you're dancing.

Guys will also learn how to lead the Bachata using their arms and their bodies, while ladies will learn how to interpret the lead and move to where the leader takes her.

Levels offered:

Intro to Bachata, Bachata Two, Bachata Three. Lessons are offered via two-hour workshops.
 


Merengue

Merengue is a very fun dance that can be enjoyed by dancers of all levels. Because it is easier to learn and less technical, it has a wider presence than Salsa.

In  our Merengue workshops, you'll learn how to do the Merengue with style, through proper weight shifting between the legs, hips and upper-body. Weight shifting is the crux of Merengue and it's the reason why some people march, while others groove.

Once you can master weight shifting, you can then begin to perform the beautiful and intricate arm movements associated with Merengue, with style. Best of all, you will be able to apply the techniques of weight shifting to your Salsa and smoothen your basic steps.

Levels offered:

Intro to Merengue, Merengue Two, Merengue Three. Lessons are offered via two-hour workshops.

Unsure about when and how to sway your hips? Covering moves for the beginner to advanced dancer, these workshops are perfect for those who want to add a touch of elegance and playfulness to their dance.

Salsa Basic Steps
 

top

Basic steps are the most important and yet overlooked aspect of Salsa. How you do it has a huge impact on your balance, rhythm, agility and of course the way you look. It makes the difference between “tramping” and “dancing”.

There’s a lot more to the Salsa basic step then just the 6 steps. Do you know when and how to transfer the weight between each foot? Which part of the foot should you be stepping on first? What should your posture be like? Should you be swaying your body?

Find out the answers in this one-hour workshop.
 


Shines
 

top

Shines are a sequence of footwork performed individually, to the rhythm and accents in the music. When performing open shines, you have the freedom to move and interpret the music in any way you like, alongside your partner, who is also doing open shines. Shines allow you to perform by yourself, thus allowing you to "shine".

Shines involve more complex footwork patterns than the usual Salsa basics. Styling is very often taught along with shines. Shines are a great way to increase your repertoire and with practice you will be able to "play" with the music. Other than offering a welcome break after unending turn patterns, shines are a great way to improve:
 
• footwork speed
• overall body coordination
• Timing and precision
• Agility in body movement
• Appreciation and use of syncopation in the music.

The better you are at shines, the more nimble a dancer you'll be. If you've ever marveled at how some dancers can glide across the dance floor effortlessly to fast music, you should definitely attend this one-hour workshop!
