"Cuban Salsa" Casino Classes : 3 Levels!

Details

  • Beginner Level 1: Wednesdays 8:30pm
  • Beyond Beginner Level 2: Thursdays 6:30pm
  • Intermediate level 3: Thursdays 7:30pm

A common misunderstanding about Casino (on of many Cuban dance forms) is that it is only done as a group (i.e., Rueda de Casino).

In reality, many of the calls you learn in the Rueda can be led and followed in a partner setting, and you'll find yourself partner dancing 95% of the time at places where Casino-style dance is held. Obviously, the concepts you learn in this class will help you if you end up taking Rueda classes, as well!

You'll learn:

  • How to communicate with your partner as a lead and follow
  • The necessary footwork you need to know for all the foundation Casino turn patterns
  • The differences between Timba music and Salsa music
  • Body isolation - adding "funk" to your Casino dance

    Limited spots.
    REGISTRATION REQUIRED. No walk-ins.
    PARTNER REQUIRED.
    This class will be a 4-week cycle. Couples must enroll for entire month.
