About this Event
First 90-minute workshop is FREE ... followed by 3 more for only $15 apiece!
Join us on Jan. 23rd & 24th 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 ask is that the dancers need to 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, and also come back the next day for 3 more hours. The full weekend covers 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 EVER 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, JAN. 23rd
>> Registration: 12:45pm - 1:00pm
>> Rueda Level 1: 1:00pm - 2:30pm [FREE!]
>> Rueda Level 2: 2:30pm - 4:00pm
SUNDAY, JAN. 24th
>> Rueda Level 3: 1:00pm - 2:30pm
>> Rueda Level 4: 2:30pm - 4:00pm
SPECIAL WEEKEND PRICING (cash only):
LEVEL 1 workshop: FREE
LEVELS 2 - 4: $15 each workshop
Full Bootcamp (six hours): $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 more than 14 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. Start your 2016 dance year on the right foot by joining us on January 23rd & 24th!
