Beyond Patterns
I am interested, if there is demand, in putting together a class or series of classes in some of the neglected aspects of salsa.
* Playing with the rhythm
* Character
* Partner Connection
* Musical Interpretation (the song as a story)
It's a:
class
Venue:
None at present
Location:
, Yorkshire, United Kingdom Rhythm and Timing
This class (delivered along with Encuentro Latino) can be a single 1-hour class or a series of half-hour classes teaching the basic Conga, Clave, Bongo, and Timbales parts of the rhythm. The package involves live percussion on real instruments, participatory exercises, and dancing the basic step on 1 and on 2.
Students gain:
* Improved ability to hear the "1"
* Insight into how the rhythms are constructed and what is involved in making salsa music
* Encouragement to listen more actively to music (leading to more expressive dance)
* Dispelling of the "clave" myth
* Fun!
It's a:
class
Venue:
None
Location:
, Yorkshire, United Kingdom Absolute Beginners
At beginners' level, the focus is on having fun, the basic steps and a few simple moves. I get students leading and following from the outset to stand them in good stead as the salsa addiction takes hold! There's a little bit of talk about the music and the history of salsa but not too much!

Rhythm and Timing
Developed a one-hour "Rhythm and timing" workshop with Encuentro Latino teaching the very basics of salsa percussion and how to relate to them as a dancer.
