2013 schedule has been posted. First series to start on Tuesday Jan 22. Register early to have some winter fun.
Salsa Basics
Every Tuesday | 6:30-7:30pm
This class taught by Rico Bravo is geared for students who are developing a foundation in the basic step, rhythm, and timing. The series focuses on the fundamentals of salsa: basics, patterns, footwork, turns and technique, which includes proper posture, balance, and upper/lower body coordination. This lays the groundwork for a solid foundation in salsa. Learn the conservation of energy theory from the award-winning inventor of the clock system himself. All advanced moves are an extension of the basic. If someone's fundamentals are not technically correct, the student will just learn more and more combinations incorrectly and will not progress as a dancer. Therefore, this is the most important class for anyone wishing to learn salsa. Mastery of the basics will give you the skills and confidence needed to develop into a good dancer. Believe me, it will change your life.
Lead & Follow Techniques
Every Tuesday | 7:30-8:30pm
Tought by Rico Bravo. This is no ordinary class. It is geared for students with a solid, comprehensive foundation in the Basics (balance, posture, upper/lower body coordination, weight transfer, cross body, etc.). If you already have an in-depth understanding of the basics you're ready for this class. At this level, you will learn lead/follow techniques, transitions, and space management to moderate music. The student will further develop the skills to easily learn combinations in a manner that really connects with your partner. After taking THE BASICS and this series, you will have the techniques and a repertoire of moves that will make any dancer at any level happy to dance with you.
Bachata Fundamentals
Every Tuesday | 8:30-9:30pm
Learn the fundamentals of this sensual, romantic dance. This class is geared towards students who have no prior knowledge of Bachata or have been exposed but would like to learn proper
technique and form. Therefore, this series introduces the most popular of the Latin dances. If you already have the rhythm but would love to improve or increase your repertory then this class is
for you. Proper partnering techniques, footwork, and turn patterns will be covered. You will quickly gain the confidence to get on the dance floor with this fun and easy-to-follow course. To
