Imp- Smooth it Down and Break some Rules
I believe most people aspire to a smoother style where dancers seamless shift from one move to the next in complete balance with each other and the music.
Dancing in a smooth, fluid way looks and feels great, but that’s just the start of it:
- You can dance faster
- Dance in smaller space
- Dance to slower tracks
- Re vitalise you same ‘ol moves
There are several methods used in this course. Paradoxically, one way to get really smooth is to get crisp. Hitting that beat and timing events with precision. Another way is to draw upon the concept of Flow and Peak State.
Of course you never only dance smooth. So the Sharpening up serves a second purpose.
Sometimes we define rules by breaking them and I group all the rule breaking techniques into a group of moves called Garnish, as in the pretty stuff on the edge of the dish.
It includes:
- Freezes
- Dips 'n drops (doing them safely)
- Six beat moves (multiple spins and footwork)
- Transition steps
There's loads of useful stuff on this course so come and enjoy :-)
All Salsa Rapido Improvers to Intermediate salsa courses (i2i) are designed to take post-beginner salsa dancers into the world of freestyle salsa dancing so you can get into dancing at the salsa clubs.
As with all Salsa Rapido courses, it is a genuine foundation course spanning the regional styles and popular moves.
They are intensive and offer real progress and achievement within a fun, friendly and supportive environment where experienced and less experienced participants help each other.
The program is designed as a compliment to your existing classes or as a stand alone path to club/social dancing and advanced salsa levels
Each course consists of four hours of actual tuition on one day. This does not include coffee breaks, lunch period, Q&As or practice sessions!
