🔥 WORKSHOP SCHEDULE — SATURDAY, JANUARY 10


🕛 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Beginner Salsa Partnerwork Workshop

A perfect starting point for absolute beginners and newer dancers.

Learn the foundations of partnerwork, including:

  • Basic steps & timing (On1)
  • Right and left turns
  • Cross-body lead technique
  • Connection, frame, and communication
  • A beginner-friendly combination to tie everything together

No partner required. No experience needed.

🕜 1:45 PM – 3:15 PM
All-Levels Salsa Body Movement & Isolation Workshop
A solo-training intensive designed to help you move like a salsero/salsera.
This workshop focuses on building natural, confident movement through:

  • Upper-body and ribcage isolations
  • Hip movement & weight transfer
  • Core control
  • Footwork coordination
  • How to add flavor without forcing it

This is the class that makes your dancing feel and look smooth, grounded, and authentic — whether you’re social dancing or training for the next level.


🕞 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM
Workshop III — Copa Variations

(Advanced Beginner / Intermediate)

The copa is a fundamental salsa technique built around the redirection of the follower, making it one of the most important movements in partnerwork. Understanding this technique helps both leaders and followers develop better timing, control, and connection on the dance floor.

In this workshop, we’ll start by breaking down the primary copa technique so dancers clearly understand the footwork, timing, and redirection. Once the foundation is solid, we’ll build on it by learning two to three creative copa variations that can be easily incorporated into social dancing.

📌 Additional Notes

  • Attend one or multiple workshops — each is purchased separately.
  • No partner required for any workshop.
  • Classes start on time; please arrive 10–15 minutes early.
