This level is a must for anyway that has never taken Salsa before. This class session is not equivalent to a one hour class you may have taken at a nightclub or resort before. This is a 5 hour series (over 4 weeks) that progresses each class. There is review as well each class to keep good practice of your fundamentals. (NOTE: If you have danced other genres before and feel that you can advance quickly, please contact us for a private to advance to LEVEL II quicker.) You will learn initially some basic patterns in Casino Rueda (from Cuba) and then will move onto L.A. Style patterns for more partner work. Here are more details of the content covered in the session:Introductory Salsa footwork
Lead and follow techniques
How to find the music
Keeping your timing
Partnering technique including how to cue.
Beginner combination patterns.
Dance etiquette on the social dance floor.
Single? We recommend earlier registration so that we can find you a partner for the class.
Makeups? if prior to the start of your class, we may be able to provide a makeup but no guarantees. If a complete transfer needs to be made, there is a $20/person fee for transferring to a future date.
Drop-In? We allow a drop-in trial class for only the first class of a beginner Level 1 series. Its $52.50 incl. tax/couple for 90 min. Only if there is enough room will there be 1 class drop-ins. Couple that sign up for full 4 week series will take priority.
Shoes? Ideally dance shoes for both, latin heel for her and jazz sneakers or jazz slippers (but no outdoor shoes, stilletos, or marking soles allowed). A low heel or flats for her and dress shoe or wornout running shoes for him will suffice to start with. Allowance for the foot to pivot is key.
Attire and masks? No preference to clothing as long as your legs are not too restricted. Office business casual attire is usually the norm. Masks are optional only if provincial or municpal bylaws allow. Updates will be made with each class.
