Salsa Dancing Back After Storm Week.







Salsa students were back on the dance floor Tuesday night. It seemed great to see everyone, and they were happy to be back learning some new moves. Both groups were doing so well, especially after being off for the previous week.
Thursday night's group also did well and were excited to be back dancing and learning new moves.

Level I Moves-
Ni-Pa-Mi-Ni-Pati- Not for you/Not for me. Clapping of hands. Old partner, self, new partner. Abajo- Going down, Ariba- Going up
Chevarria- Knees
Adios- Ballroom, Goodbye
Allamonde- Old partner, New Partner, back to original partner. (Elbow to Elbow)

Level II-(Enchufle-Pelota con dos)-Do enchufle move, stomp twice, clap twice, then pick up next person. Suenula- There are different variations of this call. Stomping of inside foot. (Fly, Single Clap); Fly Doble,(Double Clap). Photo.Adios- Ballroom, Goodbye
Moves that are listed from Level I, are also in Level II's repertoire.

Level III-Siete- Cuddle her in, send her back out.
Hecho-Turn follower under leader's arm to the other side of leader, change hand work, then finish move with a Dile Que No(Cross Body Lead).
Enchufle Con Jiro-This is where the leaders get to show off a little. Do an Enchufle, then leaders do a spin before they pick up the next follower.

There are hundreds of moves in Rueda De Casino, and we are just touching the surface with each group. As our groups progress, we will be showing more videos on youtube, so stay tuned.
See you on the dance floor. Be well and keep dancing, Shelley
