Taught by Chicago International, and Detroit World, Salsa Congress instructor El Barón, Jed Walker.

We start from the very beginning with the basic step and timing.
Next, we learn to hear the beats of music in the measure.

Then, we learn how to connect with, and communicate to, our partner through the movements of our body utilizing our dance frame.

Next, we progress to turns and turn indications creating a fun turn combination.

Then, we learn some exciting dance moves utilizing steps such as the waist brush, the shadow, the smooth move that will have people standing and watching you move to the alluring beats of Bachata.

No partner is necessary. We rotate partners in class.

FAQ AND FYI

SHOES: We recommend soles that allow you to slide safely across the dance floor, such as leather, smooth plastic, or suede. A closed back, or a strap across the heel, will help keep your foot in place as you turn. Rubber-soled shoes, athletic shoes and flip flops are not recommended.

CLOTHING: Although we don't have a strict dress code, the norm for our classes is nicer-casual. Layers are suggested as you will heat up as the class progresses. Clothing should breathe. Cotton or other natural fibers is preferred. Clothing that restricts your movements is not recommended.

We will take a 10 minute break during the Mini Boot Camp. We suggest you bring a drink and a snack such as fruit, cheese or nuts for the break.
