Salsa Con Todo welcomes back Charlene Rose for another weekend, July 15th & 16th, of dance workshops. Consider joining one or two classes, on Saturday or Sunday, or buying the whole set! Advance registration saves money… but drop-ins will be welcome as long as there is room!
On Saturday, July 15th check out these two classes:
- Noon – 1:30p, Body Movement & Spins Technique – In the first half of class, Rose will break down various body isolations and combinations. She will show you how to incorporate these moves into your social dancing with ease. In the second half of class, Rose will instruct on execution of sharp, quick and controlled spins and turns. Spinning and turning technique is extremely important for both leads and follows, in order to achieve that desired sharpness and flare that every Salsa dancer seeks. Cost: $25 at the door.
- 1:30p – 3p, Partnering with Style, for Leads & Follows – Joining Rose, SCT founder Vassili will help teach technique and style like you’ve never seen! The pair will lead students through a simple yet flashy and stylized partnering combo that will make you stand out on the dance floor, while being great fun for both ladies and gents. Focus will be on connection, details about the subtleties of leading, hand and arm placement, styling within and coming out of spins, styling in open stance, head and shoulder styling and use of leg sweeps, scoops and kicks. Cost: $25 at the door.
Both Saturday workshops can be purchased for $45 in advance, online through SCT.
On Sunday, July 16th, Rose will lead an open workshop for everyone, and another for Ladies Only. Consider joining:
- Noon – 1p, Afro-Cuban – This very earthy dance originated in Cuba, and can be used with rhythms very slow to very fast. Rose will help ground students not only in the fundamentals of Afro-Cuban, but also teach popular steps that can be integrated immediately and give them an extra edge on the dance floor. In addition to learning something new, students can expect a great workout that gets the heart pumping and the body moving. Cost: $22 at the door.
- 1p – 2p, Latin Burlesque – Ladies can learn a sassy Latin burlesque routine that combines the spicy flavor and styling of Latin dance with the sensual sexiness of burlesque. Charlene Rose will teach the ladies flirtatious body movements, seductive struts, come-hither head whips and, most importantly, how to be the diva of the dance floor! Cost: $22 at the door.
For those wanting, and able to attend both workshops on Sunday, the set can be purchased for $40 in advance on-line. The whole weekend, of three or four workshops, can be purchased in advance for $85, through the Salsa Con Todo store.
For more fun, also consider joining the Salsa Con Todo social dance on Friday nights. The evening starts with two drop-in classes, at 8p & 9p, in Salsa and Bachata, followed by an alcohol-free, all-ages social dance at 10p. Find more details, and prices, on the Salsa Con Todo website.
