East Coast Swing - Partner Work - Thursdays Jan 11th & 18th
5:30 PM (In-Person Only)
The sharpest, flirtiest of the Latin dances, Cha-Cha also has the added advantage of being one of the most musically diverse dances - Great for modern social dancing!
During the two week group class, you can expect to learn starting patterns and styling for both lead and follow.
In the follow up hour, we will expand on latin arm styling, connecting the points of the body to the core, exploring the practice of expanding and vacating space, and how all of these things apply to other latin dances! Including… (see salsa below)

East Coast Swing - Technique and Style - Thursdays Jan 11th & 18th

Ahhh, Salsa. Here lies my heart. Salsa is so incredibly dynamic - Sharp & Smooth all at once.
During the two week group class, you can expect a clearly broken down method designed to teach you a handful of starting patterns for lead and follow, and how to easily turn them into other moves - My FAVORITE dance short cut, and a proven method. You will also learn how to utilize your ‘Super Powers’ to maximize your partner role as lead or follow.
In the follow up hour, we will talk about timing, and how it can drastically change your own style and range as a dancer. We will learn the difference between turns and spins - and how mastery over a basic turn can drastically improve your style in any dance.
