We start from the very beginning with the basic and the progressive basic steps. 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. We apply this to dance Salsa with "On1" timing or "LA style" Salsa. We will teach you a right turn, a behind the back hand change, some cute combinations such as the matador with the styling of the hairbrush and the waterfall. In addition, you will learn the "connector move", the cross body lead. Then we will create a fun dance routine for you to use to practice our new moves and to take to the clubs to dance. We will show you how to put these all together so that you can move smoothly from one combination to another to make your dancing flow and get you out on the dance floor looking good!
