This is not your normal Salsa Class.

Salsa music is rich and complex. It is more than just counts, it has it’s own heartbeat known as the clave.

But do we really understand the clave? Or  Tumbao?

 

Go beyond just learning turn patterns. Salsa has a natural swing rooted by the foundations of afro latin rhythms. By connecting to the music you can gain a deeper understanding of movement and flow.
Dispel the belief that you cannot find the ‘salsa’ rhythm without counting, one of the most effective ways to learn to dance On2 is by Internalise pulse and rhythm, incorporating the clave and Tumbao helping you find your own swing, using the count as a tool and not as the rhythm.

In these weekly classes both beginner and advanced dancers can gain deeper perspective of salsa rhythm and dance

Beginner/Improvers Classes will be held in one and half hour sessions.

These are not for absolute beginners, classes are suitable for On1 dancers wanting to learn On2 / Contra-tiempo

 

Intermediates Classes will be held in 2 hour progressive format.

both classes will be covering:

  • Clave Rhythm
  • Tumbao
  • Body Movement
  • Body Isolation with Afro Movement
  • Musicality
