Do you have trouble finding the "one" beat?

Can't tell the difference between the "one" and the "five" beat?

Having difficulty hearing the rhythm in more instrumental salsa or mambo tunes?

Then what you need is a class on musicality and the rhythms of Salsa.

Musicality is the ability to relate your dance to the music's rhythm, as well as melody and mood. And since salsa is a partner dance, it is critical that you know how to interpret salsa rhythms, to remain synchronized with the music, and with your partner.

In this 2-hour workshop, discover the secrets of finding the beat to any song, and staying on beat. Learn how you can use the percussion instruments and melodic structures to identify the rhythm of any salsa tune. Understand the difference between songs that "sound more on 1" and songs that "sound more on 2", and even the trickier salsa rhythms that come from Cuba.

Learn to recognize the internal logic behind the structure of music and the typical patterns; all of which will help you to anticipate the "accents" in the music and dance to the music.

Whether you're a beginner or an advanced dancer, this class will help you to better appreciate the intricacies of salsa music and become a better lead or follow.

Please note: This will mostly be a sit-down workshop, with occasional dancing. Please wear something comfortable that will allow you to sit on the floor. And do bring paper and pen for taking notes.
