About this Event
First 90-minute workshop is FREE . . . plus try up to 3 more for only $15 apiece!
Join us April 1st & 2nd when SALSA GRANDE will teach all of the first four 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 at an 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, and also come back the next day for 3 more hours. So, if you decide to stay the full weekend, you will get more than 25 Rueda moves, with 6 hours of dancing and easy-to-understand instructions, for only $45! That's why we can safely call this the BEST DEAL IN TEXAS when it comes to learning Rueda!
All of these weekend workshops will take place at the SSQQ Dance Studio. The two-day schedule is as follows:
SATURDAY, APRIL 1st
>> Registration: 12:45pm - 1:00pm
>> Rueda Level 1: 1:00pm - 2:30pm [FREE!!]
>> Rueda Level 2: 2:30pm - 4:00pm
SUNDAY, APRIL 2nd

SPECIAL WEEKEND PRICING (cash only):
LEVEL 1 workshop: FREE
LEVELS 2 - 4: $15 each workshop
Full Weekend (six hours): just $45!
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 over 16 years, including multiple appearances for television, Latin festivals, and other special events in Texas and California. He makes every effort to break down the moves and techniques in an easily understandable fashion.
You don't 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]
Hope to see you on April 1st & 2nd!
