Salsa On2 Intensive Drills & Details

Hello Everyone! I will teach concepts everyone should learn to be a better student and dancer. Learning the fundamentals of body movement will help you be a better student in any class you take. This training intensive you will learn about your body mechanics, so you may express yourself in any way you wish. The first month will consist of learning how to listen, identify basic salsa rhythms, and the structure of a song. Why do I need music class? Learning about the music will help you train your ear to listen. This will allow us to clearly recognize patterns, rhythms and announcements. Being open and having different ways of doing the same thing will give different ways to be playful and creative. We want to be free in our movement and this comes by allowing ourselves to do multiple things at the same time to allow our ears to listen while dancing, with this we can be responsive, have fast reflexes, and hit the music in a variety of ways. Musicality is subjective and having different tools to explore that helps you find what you think is musical. Second and Third month I plan on teaching intro into how to move the torso, shoulders, and waist. We will explore our range and how to move without tension. I will be explaining front intention, side intention, shimmies, and waist movement. Following this, we will be applying it by doing drills. Why do I need drills? Repetition is key. Learning drills or making up your own drills at home helps you practice more effectively. This tool is essential for at home practice. What are our goals and purpose for this class? Our goal is to give you tools and recommendations on how to listen and dance. By the end of the 3 months you should have different ideas to help you build yourself as a dancer. Will we be learning choreography? No. I will be doing a 3 month session and then restarting again with a new 3 months with different drills and details. In order to join you need to take the music class in either starting of the months.
