SALSA DANCE CLASS UPDATE

The new 6 week series of classes have begun. There are many of our dancers that have come back for the next round of partnering and Rueda De Casino.
In this 6 week session there will be emphasis on Frame, bodywork(Motion), and style.

In Cuban Salsa Dancing, Motion in some sense can't be taught, because it must come from within the individual and from the music. My theory is that I can help students be aware of the motion within themselves and when the music changes and when to use their bodies to the music.

There are still many areas in Cuban Salsa that we can make and use our own style of dance. Also, when someone is taught a specific move, they may add their own moves and create their own dance within Salsa.

A few weeks ago, Laura Gonzalez and Jose Torres showed the class a move they know and it worked out well. Part of the move they taught the class is a good exercise in Salsa that helps and connects to other moves in partnering and Rueda. Gracias, Laura and Jose.

One of the goals I have at this time is to build a core dance group, to be able to go out into the communities and perform at events. To show and make people aware of our dance. If anyone has an event that they would like to have our group dance at, just contact me.

Moves taught this week: Avion, Barracuda, Silencio, and Hecho. These moves will be Focused on, because they lead up to many more moves in partnering and Rueda.
