Let's Learn to Dance Salsa - An Introduction to Salsa

An Intro to Salsa Dancing! Let's Learn to Dance Salsa! Taught by Chicago International, and Detroit World, Salsa Congress instructor El Barón Jed Walker. In this one day, 1 hour drop in class you will be introduced to Salsa dancing in time to the music with another person. By the end of class you will even learn a fun turn combination. 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 and a fun turn combination with the styling of the "hairbrush" and "threading the needle". No partner is necessary. We rotate partners in class. This will help you develop your skills more quickly and allow everybody the opportunity to practice the steps being taught and also to meet new people with whom you might practice at another time. Nevertheless, you may stay with one partner if you choose. As space in this class is limited, advance registration and payment is highly recommended to ensure your place in the class.

A closed back, or a strap across the heel, will help keep your foot in place as you turn. Rubber-soled shoes, athletic shoes and flip flops are not recommended.
