Salsa – Intermediate 2

As winter Break is coming up, two of the classes will be given in a Bootcamp format on Saturday. The class will have 15-30 minutes break / dance paractica in the middle.

At this level, we give dancers a deeper practice in Salsa Cubana. We revisit core elements to enhance them and build more complex figures based on them, keeping a close eye on correct leading and following techniques. We also address different concepts for experienced dancers.

It is not mandatory to do Intermediate 1 before intermediate 2. These are two separate independent parts of the same level.

The objective of the course is to deepen your understanding of the dance:

• You will learn some new core elements of Cuban Salsa such as the Tight turn.
• You will build upon known core elements and create more complex elements and figures such as Setenta, El Dedo, and more.
• Improve your Partnerwork technique, and be a better leader or follower.
• Approaching the notion of solo dance and styling.

It includes 8 lessons, each lesson 90 minutes. There is no need to come with your own partner, we try to start the course with a similar number of men and women.

Who is it for?

The course is designed for dancers who took La Candela’s Improver course or have between 3-6 months of dancing experience. The course will most likely prove too difficult for dancers who just enjoyed the dance and didn’t take classes before. In case you were not part of previous La Candela courses. The main elements you are expected to know are listed below:

• Enchufala
• Enchufala Doble
• Enchufala con Vuelta
• Vacilala / Lento
• Exhibela / Sacala
• Siete
• Coca-Cola
• Prima
• Paseala
