Advance Salsa Fundamentals (Intermediate/Advance)

This class is a special class. One of it’s kind. This class is for students who are (or honestly consider themselves) Intermediate or Advance Salsa Dancers. This course is five class long, each class is 60 minute long. In this class you will learn how to expand your “repertoire” of dance move by exploring what you already know. Most dancers limit themselves because they lack imagination. This course will play with your imagination. The first class will be about the 7x3x2 rules taught to me by Victor from San Tropez. You cannot miss this first class because the knowledge taught in this class will be required for the remainder of this course. The second class will be about Cross Body Lead….the millions of millions of CBL. The third class will be about the many types of Copa moves (Aka In and Out). The fourth class will be about the many types of sling shots. The fifth class will be about hand shines and complicated arm patterns (such thread the needle….straight jacket….etc).

CASINO RUEDA (Miami Style)

In Rueda, couples form a circle in which one person calls or signals the different moves. Depending on the call the couples dance intricate combinations and turns or switch partners. Danced to Salsa timing (stepping on the one beat) the result is a fast paced, beautifully synchronized, exciting dance. Not only do you get to interact with other dancers it's also fun beyond words!
