This is a short, progressive course designed to teach the basic foundations of Cross Body Salsa.
We'll demonstrate the difference between leading and following in the first class, asking you to pick a role for the course.
Learning to partner dance is like learning a new language. There are lots of different elements to it which you have to keep trying over time to develop muscle memory and fluidity. With this course, while you will be practising many different things at once, we have broken it down into the following 3 focus areas:
🎵 09.09: Understanding rhythm and timing through the basic steps
💞 23.09: Building connection and communication through partner work
👣 30.09: Developing fluidity through a social dance routine
We've got 3 weeks to really go into depth and give you practice time in between the learning with the free dance social right after. As you will be swapping partners throughout the course, it will also be a lovely way to get to know a new group of people over time. For us, learning salsa gives us a space to build community through connection, care and the joy of dancing together.
