http://www.latinconnectiondance.com presents... EVERY TUESDAY FOR 5-WEEK SERIES! The LAST CLASS WILL BE A QUICK REVIEW/SOCIAL PRACTICE! Bridge Salsa is just that...A class with a definite direction at a pace that takes you consistently from one place to another - and that place is the Next Level of Dancing! By learning Key Moves that create the future Intermediate patterns, both Leaders and Followers develop good habits by focusing on the dynamics of each move, instead of trying to forcibly execute a series of various moves (i.e., in a pattern). This class promotes great Lead and Follow technique and uses motion study methods to help students execute moves with good timing. At the end of the Series, an optional Nights OUT! to a San Francisco Salsa Club is offered at a discount to students. Each Bridge series has a new theme.
