Class Description
¡Pa’lante! dance instruction is inspired in classical
Afro-Latin "street style" Salsa and emphasizes rhythm, timing,
music flow and lead-follow connection. We teach Salsa in Casino style,
a dynamic dance form of Salsa which brings out the true collective and
expressive essence of Latin music and dance. Beginner and Intermediate
classes begin with a warm-up of Salsa Suelta (Salsaerobics), where we
go over basic step patterns and their dynamic variations ("shines").
We then move into partner work, teaching turns and combinations with rotating
partners. In Rueda de Casino, dancers change partners and perform known
combination moves to the arrangement of a caller. Rueda is one of the
best ways to learn Salsa as it allows students to dance with various partners
in fluid motion and in a relaxed setting. Rueda moves are easily incorporated
into Salsa single partner dancing, and vice versa. Learning Salsa partner
dancing and Rueda simultaneously is an excellent way to enhance your repertoire,
style and confidence on the dance floor. |
