(Pre-requisite: Salsa Fundamentals I & II)
In this class, you will learn what it means to have a good "connection" with your partner, so that you can communicate with each other in the most effective possible way. We will discuss the concept of connection, and explain why it's so important. We will illustrate some techniques for improving your connection, such as hand positioning, tone, leverage, and the use of body weight. Every combination will be based on proper execution of the cross body lead. This may sound complicated, but the techniques are quite simple, and will do wonders for your leading and/or following skills.

LEARNING IN GROUP LESSONS
Group Classes are designed so students are not required to bring a partner. They are an introduction the exciting world of Salsa dancing. Here together with fellow students, the new dancer has the chance to become familiar with a variety of steps and patterns. Rotation of partners throughout the class allows dancers to practice steps with different students. This format exposes everyone to dancing with several partners and promotes that skill. Rotating partners also helps build a team structure and sense of family and friendship within the dance group. Creating this type of atmosphere builds confidence in our students and encourages them to apply what they have learned on the dance floor. The group lessons are taught semi-monthly in four to eight week sessions. At the end of each session, students are assessed to determine if they are ready to move to the next level of instruction. The skill requirements increase as the levels progress. Depending on the skill level of students, they may choose to repeat a level to master the skills.
