An in-depth look at what makes Miami Style Salsa Casino different from other styles of Cuban Salsa. It's origins, unique rhythmic lead and follow, and some lost Miami turns from the 90's.
Salsa Nick was fortunate enough to be able to study with several of the original and innovative dancers in the Miami Salsa Casino scene. Omar Cabrillo, Henry Herrera, and Ramani Nicola. He was able to study at all the well-known Miami Salsa schools; Salsa Connection, Salsa Racing, Salsa Kings, and Salsa Lovers. In addition, he partnered with Gigi de Calle Ocho for the instructional video "The Quick and Dirty Guide to Salsa" vol 4.
We will be presenting many of the unique steps that make Miami style different from other styles of Salsa and Casino. Also many of the lost turns from the early days of Salsa Connection and Salsa Racing.
**Please: We ask that all students be familiar with Miami version of Vacilia.**

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
