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.
Masks optional / Restriction Exemption Program in effect.
For those interested in taking a simpler style of salsa that has much similarities to Cuban style with a flare of Colombian footwork, this is the class for you! Its for absolute beginners and we are welcoming singles and couples. Your instructor Alex believe it or not started off with this common popular Latin dance that is normally for the untrained dancer. Easy to pick up and a great way to get into other styles of Salsa such as Cuban or L.A.!

Feeling like you need to get out and explore some dancing?!
Maybe Latin dancing?! Well your at the right spot.
What you will delve into is a vocabulary of dance moves that
eventually we will practice enough times to put into a little
choreographed routine by the end. Each individual pattern is first
learned and then by the last couple classes we will put them all
into one!
If you have always wanted to get the spicy taste of Bachata at a fun footwork pattern level, this is a great class for you. Plenty of flavor filled moves, and you get a chance to learn some great Latin moves that you may have seen in a Zumba or Latin fitness class.
