About this Event

First 90-minute workshop is FREE....and the second is only $15! Join us on June 11th when SALSA GRANDE will teach the first two Levels of its fun workshops for learning the "Rueda" format of Salsa dancing. And, yes, the first 90-minute workshop is absolutely FREE, with no catch! All we require is that the dancers should already have Salsa partnering skills that are at least Intermediate level or above. So, although this is an introduction to Rueda, these workshops are *NOT* a substitute for a beginner Salsa class. If you like the first 90-minute workshop, you can stick around for another 90-minutes of fun Rueda moves for only $15. In other words, just one afternoon will include more than a dozen Rueda moves, with 3 hours of dancing and easy-to-understand instructions, for a total of only $15. That's why we can safely call this the BEST deal in Houston when it comes to learning Rueda! Both workshops will take place at the SSQQ Dance Studio. The Saturday afternoon schedule is as follows: SATURDAY, JUNE 11th >> Registration: 12:45pm - 1:00pm >> Rueda Level 1: 1:00pm - 2:30pm [FREE!] >> Rueda Level 2: 2:30pm - 4:00pm SPECIAL PRICING (cash only): LEVEL 1 workshop: FREE LEVEL 2: $15 for new students (or $10 if repeating) You will discover that these sessions are a great mix of being fun while also informative and challenging. Plenty of hands-on practice is included in every workshop, while listening to great music....and free bottled water is provided for all attendees! Lead instructor Michael Whitmire has been dancing and performing Salsa Rueda for more than 15 years, including multiple appearances for television, Latin festivals, and other special events. He makes every effort to break down the moves and techniques in an easily understandable fashion. You do not need to bring a partner, but for planning purposes it does help us to know in advance if you are coming. If you RSVP on this Facebook page, then please also include a note indicating which Level(s) you will be attending. Or, you can send that information by e-mail (along with any other questions) to [email protected] We encourage you to plan an early arrival, allowing extra time for traffic, road construction, etc. We look forward to seeing you on June 11th!

That address is located in the Heights area of Houston, near the intersection of 18th Street and East T.C. Jester Boulevard. The studio can be a little tricky to spot for first-time visitors, but SSQQ is around the left side of a large warehouse-type building that houses a "Restaurant Depot."
