We often find ourselves as Casino (Cuban) style dancers, dancing to complex fast Timba Salsa in small crowded clubs. Usually the best music and dancers are found in the most crowded of clubs. At times, the music calls for a break from open and larger movements. Still wanting to dance and express ourselves we have developed a workshop series that focuses on the closed position in Cuban (Casino) Style Salsa. Our techniques are drawn from a variety of sources including Danzon, Son, Casino, Salsa Linea, Tango, and Tai Chi. Our workshop starts with the basics adapted to crowded intimate dance floors, and covers traveling, rhythm changes, posture, connection, communication, turnillos, adapting complex moves to club situations, Paseas, Habaneras, and Suelta Cerca. Learn to lead and follow anything in a relaxed friendly environment without all that yanking, pushing and pulling to communicate with each other.

4-week progressive workshop series - 2 weeks left

October Thursdays at Urban Motion and Arts: 366 Grand Ave. in Oakland
Every class is followed by a relaxed, friendly social playing the best Timba, Salsa, y Timbaton

Schedule:

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
