WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
SATURDAY (25th Feb)
11:50– 12:50 Son (knowledge of son basics required)
Danced on the off-beat. Son is one of the traditional partner dances that salsa evolved from with a beautiful and elegant style.
1:10– 2:10 Rueda (Intermediate)
Time to let loose and have a bit of fun with some new turn patterns.
2:20– 3:20 Dominican Bachata (Open – All levels)
Learn to move those feet, with a lesson in authentic Dominican style bachata.
SUNDAY (26th Feb)
12:00-1:00 Rumba (Open – All levels)
Unique to Cuba, Rumba is a meld of African rhythms and flamenco influences. Elements of rumba are commonly integrated into Cuban salsa. This workshop will help you to ground yourself to the beat of the music and develop your body movements.
1:20 – 2:20 Orishas/Afro styling (Open Level)
Afro-Cuban dancing that represents each of the Orishas. Learn different movements that help to unlock the body, and develop your musicality. Time permitting – we will work on how we can add elements of these dances into our salsa.
