-------------------------------------
Hello to all avid and aspiring Salseros in the area (i.e. as far and wide an area as this e-mail reaches). Some of you already know that I am aiming to start a set of 6 week Salsa series at Step-n-Out Studio in Covington, KY. The classes focus strickly on Social Salsa (as opposed to performance) techniques. I start teaching on Friday, Jan 22. Below are some details on the classes I intend to offer. General prices are below the descriptions:
1) "Zero to Hero" Social Salsa Series (Part 1): Friday’s (7 – 8 pm)
This is a six week group class specially designed for either absolute beginners as well as those of you who had some recent instruction but little experience (6 weeks - 12 months) in Salsa.
You know... the Salsa bug bit you hard and fast, you got the basics down pat, and you are starting to master the rhythm. You are totally addicted but... you are dying to get sharp and look good on the dance floor fast! You want to take the fist strong steps be a smooth lead or a sharp follower. The class starts from the very basics and covers all fundamental techniques that you should know in order to truly stand out on the dance floor. Leaders will not only learn to lead smoothly, clearly and on time. They will also learn the key to creating and improvise multiple patterns (yes, even at the beginner level). Followers will learn proper timing, footwork, preparation and execution techniques to recognize and follow the most common styles of salsa. Basic Styling techniques will be introduced as well so both male and female can learn to make their movement more gracious and visually attractive on the dance floor without interfering with partner-work!
Part 2 of this series is scheduled to begin in Mar and will pick up where part 1 leaves in order to develop you into a fully proficient salsa dancer up to an intermediate level.
This is tailored for dancers who feel clearly at home with the basics footwork, combinations and the rhythm of salsa and are now capable of learning/executing increasingly complex salsa patterns comfortably. After hard and fast review of the fundamentals on the first two weeks, the class will introduced new patterns every week with the purpose to introduced/work/master specific skills!
If you have taken lessons and/or have been dancing for more than a year but are somehow frustrated with your progress this class is for you. If you are wondering what the secret is to create, lead/follow complex (or improvised) patterns at higher levels with ease you will be in the right place. If you want to be the follower every Lead seeks to dance with first, you really need to be here!
