SALSA:
Salsa comes from mambo, a Cuban-rhythm based dance. We teach practical
"club style" salsa for social dancers as well as advanced
salsa for professionals and competitors. Patterns are taught on
"clave" or "on the 2". A strong emphasis is
placed on timing and open footwork (shines). Our specialty is
teaching the student to combine technique with flavor in order to
learn advanced patterns, but not lose sight of the
rhythm.
LATIN:
Other than Salsa, our studio specializes in Bolero, Cha-cha, Samba
and Merengue. Lessons and difficulty of patterns advance at the
students own pace. Students may choose to concentrate on the social
style, or take their dancing up to a performance level.
