Tuesday Night Salsa NEW! starting Tuesday October 21st
October 17
Nick and Melissa are our instructors tonight. We are introducing our new dance classes and Series, Tuesday NIght Salsa starting on October 21
7 pm - Sweetheart Variations in Salsa: In this beginner-to-intermediate salsa class, we’ll quickly ramp up from the basic step to some of our favorite figures in salsa: the sweetheart variations. You’ll learn several variations of sweetheart, as well as windows and mixmaster. And while these variations look quite flashy, they’re all based on the same easy footwork, accessible to anyone. In addition, these three figures show up in pretty much every other social dance form there is, from Latin to swing to waltz. So as a bonus, we’ll demonstrate a few of the ways these figures can be adapted into other FNW dances throughout the night.
8 pm - Rumba: As the slowest of the Latin dances, rumba is both deeply sensual and easily adaptable. Stealing variations from salsa, nightclub two step, tango, and waltz, the possibilities are nearly endless. In this beginner-to-intermediate class, we’ll teach you the basics and some of our favorite variations, stolen from other FNW dances. Along the way, in addition to teaching you the specific moves, we’ll show you the basic concepts that allow you to adapt almost any kind of social dance vocabulary into rumba.
