Salsa workshops with 9-time world champion Oliver Pineda in Brisbane

Brisbane Salsa dancers, you are invited to join 9-time world champion Oliver Pineda in an immersive weekend of workshops. Oliver was most recently featured in an article as one of the top 10 male Salsa dancers in the world. He has also been a guest performer/choreographer on Channel 7's "Dancing with the Stars" and Channel 10's "So You Think You Can Dance". After nine world titles, Oliver continues to spread his incredibly profound knowledge to dancers around the world and is now coming to Brisbane to teach you. Each workshop is concept-based, meaning that the ideas presented may be applied to your current experience level. Some of the content and movements will be quite challenging for everyone (e.g. requiring you to go away and practice what you've learned). Oliver will be assisted by our own national champion, Madalyn Milazzo. ** Update ** Ladies Full Passes and Ladies Friday Passes are now sold out. ** Friday 16th March workshops ** 6:30pm - 7:25pm (55 minutes + 5 minute break) The Art of Social Salsa Dancing: Creating memorable social dances 7:30pm - 8:25pm (55 minutes + 5 minute break) Magical Connection: The techniques of the best dancers in the world 8:30pm - 9:25pm (55 minutes + 5 minute break) Breaking it down: The Sections of a Salsa Song and How to Express Them ** Saturday 17th March workshops ** 2:15pm - 3:10pm (55 minutes + 10 minute break) Linking Musicality with Solo Shines: Why and how the best use shines in social dancing and why you should be doing it more 3:20pm - 4:15pm (55 minutes + 10 minute break) Salsa Roots: Exploring Rumba and Afro Movements to better connect with and express the music 4:25pm - 5:20pm (55 minutes + 10 minute break) The Next Level: Adding Pachanga and Boogaloo to your Salsa ** Party ** Latin Utopia party featuring Oliver Pineda 8pm - 1am at Casablanca (now known as Fritzenberger) $10 entry on arrival https://www.facebook.com/events/174899776466772/ ** Are these workshops suitable for me? ** These concept-based workshops are "open level" which means that they suitable for beginners to advanced dancers.
