LOCATION
630 Rundle Ave.
Body movement and Musicality are the top two skills that standout when you're watching your favorite dance-pro heat up the dance floor. They're honoring the music, feeling the rhythm in their body and expressing their "sabor", often with a partner and sometimes solo. We want to help you bring this same energy to YOUR dance journey by helping you embody these skills within and outside of partner-work.
Why this workshop is a must:
Body Movement: Learn the inner workings of body mechanics and how weight shifts help you access contra body movement that is so helpful in your Salsa journey.
Understanding the music: The lines between what you hear and in return interpret with your body can often be blurred. We'll identify key instruments used in the music and learn how to dance to each, both in partner-work and solo.
"Honoring the Break": You may have heard this term in NSD classes before. Why? BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT! There's flavor in the pause and we're going to help you find it.
Solo vs Partner-Work: Sure you can express all of these topics while shining or solo dancing, but can you offer the same dynamic within a dance partnership? We'll show you how to hone these abilities within and outside of your dance partnerships with flair
