The next salsa workshop will be on November 1st !! The topic is: "Spins, Spins, Spins!" Do you often lose connection with your partner and find yourself struggling to get back into the rhythm? Do you want to improve your spins? Do you want to increase your dance repertoire? Do you want to systematically improve your dance skills and enhance your salsa experience? If you answered yes to any of the above, you should consider taking one or more of the upcoming workshops. Each workshop will focus on one particular aspect of the dance and is designed to help you improve your skills! Please email or phone Sebastian if you are interested in attending one or more of these workshops. Please specify which workshop you wish to attend. We need a minimum of three people to pre-register (i.e. by phone or email), otherwise the workshop will be cancelled. Please check this page for any updates!

Previous Workshops:
Here are the workshop details: Workshop #1: Transitions, Connection and Momentum Connection with your partner is very important in any social dance. How do you connect with a partner? How do you use the momentum from your partner? How do you transition from one dance move or pattern to the next without looking awkward? We`ll give you the techniques to address these issues and to make you smooth on the dance floor. Workshop #2: Footwork & Styling We will cover several footwork steps and patterns ("shines" from beginner to advanced), and how to connect different steps or different patterns together. We`ll also give you theoretical and practical methods to add style to your footwork. In addition, we'll cover the essential spinning techniques you will need to spin on your own, which is necessary for the footwork combinations. Workshop #3: Body Isolations and Latin Body Movement Dancing is not just about steps or turn patterns -- it`s also about how you move. In this workshop we will give you a variety of exercises that will help develop your range of motion, flexibility, muscle strength, coordination, and an overall awareness of your body`s movement. We will also use these concepts of body movement to add flavor to our dancing. Workshop #4: Spins, Spins, Spins Have you ever seen someone spin 5 or 8 times on their own? How about 10 or 20 times with a partner? How can they do it? We`ll teach you all the essentials you need to power your own spins and the techniques to spin with a partner. Workshop #5: Spinning Techniques, Styling & Intricate Patterns This one combines the best concepts from our other workshops. Learn the esentials for spins, while learning a complex pattern and add style with controlled body movement combinations. |
