This is what we did in the Sunday classes of September.

Salsa Colombiana 1. Also known as "Cali Style" the partnerwork is also the same as "cumbia" just with a different styling, also very similar to some elements of "Cuban style". it will enrich your regular style and it's a must if you travel/dance with south american people. ( la idea es que la clase sea en español)

Colombian salsa 2. get your footwork going! solo dancing shines

Musicality 3. connect with the details of the music.
have you had moments when your partner let go of you and you don't know what to do? this is for you to hit all those notes and breaks in the songs.

After an amazing long weekend of dancing, we're ready to continue training.

The thing with dance, one workshop or even one month of classes is not enough. You need to practice and practice many times so it goes to your muscle memory. And when you're out there on the dance floor you don't have to think about the pattern or the steps, you can enjoy and connect with your partner and the song.

See you tonight and tomorrow for regular classes.

Dancers: Carlos Rueda IG:.rumba.dance
Combo: Salsa 3 class July. Inspired by Terry Tauliaut, Fernando Sosa and Carlos Rueda.
Song : Échale Madera - Ricky Campanelli

P.S. If you want to come to level 2 but you didn't come last week, make sure to check with me first because we're running out of space. - carlos
