DANDOMAMBO CLASS SCHEDULE FOR JUNE! Hola mi gente! this is the new dance schedule for the month of JUNE! WHAT IS CHA-CHA-CHA? Cha-cha-cha is the name of a Latin American dance of Cuban origin. Cha-Cha-Cha is a combination of the Rumba and the Mambo. Some call it the "triple Mambo". This rhythm was developed from the danzón by a syncopation of the fourth beat. The name is derived from the rhythm of the güiro (scraper) and the shuffling of the dancers' feet. DANDO MAMBO BRINGS YOU CHA-CHA-CHA MONDAYS!!!

Learn how to build on two aspects of dancing - shines and partnering! A COMBO CLASS is a class format that incorporates both SHINES (footwork) as well as PARTNERING into the session so that the student can first focus on learning the rhythm and solo aspect of the dance before moving on to leading and following Our classes begin with a 15 - 20 minute calentamiento, or warm-up, that teach aspects of the footwork required for the upcoming partnering sequence but does so in a way that allows the student to focus on body movement, rhythm, and the basics of the dance. After the calentamiento, the class transitions into the partner work portion, where the students learn how to apply the footwork and timing to the lead and follow technique. These classes are designed to move at pace appropriate to the class level, while providing a dynamic, healthy challenge to the dancers. The format of the class is set up in such a manner that provides students the chance to ask questions and receive individualized instruction in a group setting. Where: The Cardinal Bar – 418 E.
