Intermediate Mambo Class Claudia Sol and Edgar teaching class http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1563137632427&oid=6097947601 http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=150631474970617 ~Combo class footwork and partner work~ Dando Mambo Dance Company will be teaching a 4 week course on the stylish, modern NY Style Mambo, focusing on a variety of patterns with double turns and prepping techniques. Prepping techniques allow for the lead to indicate how many turns he will lead for the follow, and allows the follower to know how to position her feet maintaining proper form throughout the turns. Classes will also focus on teaching the social and musical aspects of Salsa. Students will have the opportunity to learn about timing and musicality and transferring these to body movements. In this class you will learn how to dance the most popular Latin rhythm on beat 2. If you came last month, you learned how to dance on beat 1. Now you have to learn to dance on 2! If you didn't come last month it doesn't matter. We are going to do different steps to a different beat! It's a class you can't miss! The Spinning Technique The spinning class works on balance, spotting, conditioning and various spinning techniques while incorporating body mechanics and physics - and, making it all fun! The first half of the class focuses on solo spins. The second half brings in partner work techniques and hand positioning, using a series of turn drills designed to strengthen both male and female technique. Time to get dizzy and enjoy!
