Tuesday Salsa Rueda in The East Bay

Monday, May 17th, 2010

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.

Salsa by the Lake

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

From Isaac….

Although the official Oaklandish Salsa by the Lake will not be happening this Sunday…our own unofficial “oaklandish” Salsa by the Lake will be happening this Sunday, 2-6 PM. 

So that we do not feel quite as suffocated by the construction going on, we will be dancing right next to the water, so that means it could be more breezy and sunnier, so be prepared to not get burned or get too chilled.  Otherwise, the location is just about the same.  Here’s a Google map satellite picture of our usual gathering place…the specific dance floor this Sunday will be the cement lip that sticks out over the Lake, about 20 feet away from our customary location: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Lake+Merritt,+oakland&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=29.895378,66.621094&ie=UTF8&ll=37.808502,-122.24969&spn=0.000908,0.002033&t=h&z=20&iwloc=addr.

The weather is looking good as well: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/94606?from=36hr_topnav_undeclared
