This class is for *advanced beginner*s that have completed our 4-week absolute beginner series & further extrapolates from key foundational motions in Cuban Salsa. In each 60-minute class of the four week series, students focus on improving & fine-tuning the core introductory elements of Casino: Exhíbela, Dile que No, Guapea, Enchufla-based patterns, closed & open position transitions, & compositional variations. Rueda de Casino, an interactive group dance involving rapid partner exchanges, will also be introduced with the goal of increasing & fortifying responsiveness in both lead & follow roles, along with spatial orientation & kinesthetic awareness. Upon completion, students will have all the necessary tools to transition to the intermediate level.

?8:00 \- 9:00pm \| Intermediate Cuban Salsa & Rueda de Casino \- Level 2

This progressive class is geared for those that have danced Cuban Salsa before & allows you to further solidify, fine-tune, & expand upon the basics covered in both Levels 1 & 1.5. Here is your opportunity to refresh all of the beginning motions at a pace that is comfortable for you while continuing to cement a solid foundation in this exciting, interactive, & fun dance. Students will be able to execute moves at the intermediate level with specific attention to patterns involving both Vacílala & Paséala & their variations. Linear & lateral Guapea footwork patterns will also be introduced. This high-energy class focuses on combinations, leading & following technique, styling, body motion, & fun salsa suelta footwork. Lead better. Follow better. Dance better.

We look forward to dancing with you!
