Tuesday Night Class Re-Cap 10/14

Awesome class last night! We had a small but great intermediate group.

A few of the songs we played

"No Te Detengas" - Jesus "El Zunzun De La Salsa" & Havana City

We covered a variety of vueltas/turns.  El Uno, Kentucky, dame dos, enchufla pa' arriba, el reloj, patine y patine para mulheres, and sententacito

See you all next week 10/21 and be sure and practice, practice, practice. No matter where you are.  If you can't find a partner then grab a wooden chair.

Intro to Salsa Cubana - 3 week workshop for Beginners in November


Salsa Vale Todo presents...

A 3 week complete Introduction to Salsa Cubana Workshop.

November 7th, 14th, and 21st
7:30pm - 8:30pm
at Urban Motion and Arts: 366 Grand Ave. in Oakland
$36 for the 3 week series. Please no drop - ins
register here: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studioid=16921&sclassid=287&sDate=10%2F3%2F2013&sLoc=1&sTG=24&sType=1

Every class is followed by a relaxed friendly social playing all Timba (Cuban Salsa) from 9:30-11pm. The social is open to all and is free. Beginners: get some dinner or stay and watch the advanced students and come back for the Social.

Salsa Nick has designed a 3 week workshop to get you familiar with the many aspects of Cuban Salsa or Casino. We will cover the important aspects of the Rhythm, footwork, partnering technique, Casino, Rueda, Suelta and a brief intro to contributing Cuban dances (Son, Rumba, Cha Cha Cha and Mambo). Everything you need to get out on the dance floor and/or continue in our many other Rueda and Casino classes. 

You must pre-register for this class, as space is limited to give you the best learning experience and it will most likely sell out. Go to: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ws.asp?studioid=16921&sclassid=287&sDate=10%2F3%2F2013&sLoc=1&sTG=24&sType=1 to register.

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.

Experienced Salsa Rueda dancers : Perhaps you have some friends who have never done Salsa or Rueda before, here is 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 info you need to adapt to the Cuban style
