The Cardinal Bar Salsa combo Lessons I What is a Combo Class? 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 partner 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 a 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. Cost for all classes: $12/class, or $40/four classes ( paid in FULL ahead of classes only! ) **Students and UWMBDA and Badger Ballroom members receive 50% off** DANDO MAMBO BRINGS YOU BACHATA IN JANUARY!!! fun and dynamic classes with the instructor!

Bachata is a genre of music that originated in the countryside and the rural neighborhoods of the Dominican Republic. Its subjects are often romantic; especially prevalent are tales of heartbreak and sadness. In fact, the original term used to name the genre was amargue ("bitterness," or "bitter music"), until the rather ambiguous (and mood-neutral) term bachata became popular. The form of dance, Bachata, also developed with the music. Bachata is a four-step beat achieved with a walking Cuban hip motion, and a unique “pop”. The dance is performed both in open position and in closed position depending on the setting and mood of the partners. The male leads the female with subtle communication using pushing and pulling on the hands to guide the direction in which to move or to hint on upcoming turns. The female may also provide communication using her left hand to indicate whether she is comfortable or not dancing in a closed position. DANDO MAMBO BRINGS YOU BACHATA IN JANUARY!!!
