As winter Break is coming up, this course will be given in an intensive format. The last 4 classes will be given in two bootcamps. Each Bootcamp will have 15-30 minutes break / dance paractica in the middle.
In this course, we will deepen our understanding of the dance and create a solid foundation for your dance:
- The focus of the course is on Salsa Cubana’s core elements. The moves which are the “basic blocks” in the foundation of Salsa. Example moves: Vacilala, Siete, or Coca-Cola.
- You will learn new more advanced moves you could use on the dance floor.
- Improve your Partnerwork technique, and be a better leader or follower.
Our classes are known to be extra detailed and structured. This will allow you to understand better the structure of a Salsa Dance, and have the foundation upon which you can compose and follow later on more complex figures with perfect technique.
The course 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 matching amount of men and women.
Who is it for?
Truly this course is for everyone, this is the most important course in our program – and it’s rare that we recommend dancers to skip – Beginners and advanced alike. We give many details you get nowhere else and work on the foundations like nowhere else.
More in detail we recommend to three groups of people.
- Next level after Beginner Course – For dancers who took La Candela’s Beginners course or a few classes before in another school. (5-10 depends on the school)
- Dancers that learned on the dancefloor – For people that dance for a long while but didn’t take classes before or need a refresher of the core technique. This course will focus on the elements that allow you to have a smooth dance that feels effortless and beautiful. Keep in mind you still need to know the material of the Beginner course, and without it, it will be difficult to follow. ( one/two private classes can often help with getting there if you have considerable experience ). Also, consider reading here more why you should take this course and not just “dance for fun”)
- Any dancer that looks for a kickass technique. We explain everything with super details, and this could enhance your understanding of the dance.
You need to be familiar with and be able to perform the following moves:
