Salsa and Rueda with Salsa Nick

May 18th we will continue our progressive workshop series. This progressive series has a carefully crafted curriculum with varying levels to get you started dancing Rueda de Casino or dancing at the next level. Beginning levels will get you familiar with basic Rueda de Casino and Salsa and our Intermediate workshop is designed to bring you to the advanced level.

Nick and Serena teach together giving you the benefit of both lead and follow technique and styling. They bring over 10 years of experience at teaching in the Bay area. Bios at: http://salsavaletodo.com/valetodoprivates.htm

Experienced Salsa Rueda dancers : Is there a gap in your knowledge, moves that you are not familiar with? Perhaps you have some friends who have never done Salsa or Rueda before, here’s their chance to get involved.

Experienced Salsa Dancers: Even if you have been dancing Salsa for awhile it is a good idea to start at the beginning when learning the Salsa Rueda curriculum. Here is your opportunity. All the moves you need to get you to the intermediate level.

New Salsa dancers: Have no fear; you can learn both Salsa and Salsa Rueda at the same time. In fact it is a great way to learn club style dancing. The skills you learn from dancing this style of Salsa will make you a better club dancer in the end.

We encourage everybody to come and join our growing community of Salsa Rueda enthusiasts.
