This dance is Mambo in disguise. Many don't know that Mambo is the
original dance and Salsa is what popularized the genre
underlyingly. This is a special workshop series as this subcategory
of salsa only gets taught to performers and dance team members of
ETOWN SALSA. A portion of this class will be footwork in solo and
the majority will be partnerwork patterns. You will learn timing
on2 which will be an essential part to this class that requires
music appreciation.
You will need to have some dance experience in Salsa on1 or other
dance background in partnering dances in order for you to grasp the
concept of Mambo as it really focuses on music in order for you to
succeed at this dance. Good music background , especially in
percussion is key to mastering this style. We recommend completing
at least one series of level 1.5 (Salsa on1) in order to join this
class. This class is designed to challenge you but we will take the
class at a slow pace in order for everyone to understand the timing
concepts well.
We will do a quick review of Lev 1 in this class and then expand on some new moves that will add to your repertoire. This will give you a better preparation for LEVEL 2.
Masks will be mandatory. No swapping of partners. You must register in advance at least 24 hrs before the start date. If wanting to register the same day, please call ahead to confirm if it's ok. text or call 780-906-7939
