Level 1:
Music Rhythm Timing. |
This is for those
who have never taken Salsa instruction or are just starting to
learn Salsa. This course teach you only the most necessary elements
you need, but you learn it properly. First we teach you to understand
the music that is called salsa. The music that we, today, call
Salsa is exciting and infectious, rhythmically charged and we
will make you understand why it is perfect for dancing. To be
able to dance well you need to learn how to dance in time with
the music. After you learn how to listen to the beats of the music,
we will cover the fundamental steps in class and practice. |
Leading and following/ partner
connection. |
When you master
the basic step you will learn to connect with a partner. In all
partner dances there is one person (the man) who leads, and one
person (the lady) that follows. We believe that from the very
beginning, having a clear understanding of leading and following
will make your dance look and feel smooth gracious, controlled
and relaxed. Exercises will be covered in class to build a good
communication between you and your partner. You will learn easy-to-do
partner moves and combinations of moves |
Tips for getting the most out
of this class: |
Practice what you
learn in class by yourself (remember: You do not need a partner!).
We will make sure that it is easy for you to remember the sequence
you are given in class. Start dancing at the clubs as
soon as possible. You should dance with many different
partners at different levels. |

people seem to believe good dancers are born. But all good dancers
I have known are taught or trained. -Fred Astaire
|
Level 2:
Syllabus from level one is required
|
Our classes focus
a lot on techniques, making you able to learn very fast, and able
to dance with anybody, not only those who took the class with
you. In this level we will build different combinations as we
teach new technicalities within each class.
In level 2 the music will span from medium to fast tempo. This
class will have main focus on combinations and fun. After this
class you will notice that you are able to learn new things very
fast. New partner things will not be a "headbreaker"
and you will be able to copy moves after only a short demonstration.
This class will introduce you to casino rueda - a fun group dance.
After the end of the session, you will be able to dance with confidence
and have fun on the dancefloor, and you will be excited to learn
more. Not to forget, you will have a lot of new friends :) |

"It all started because I was attracted
to this young lady but I didn’t know how to dance and she
did." - Eddie Torres 'The Mambo King' |
Level 3: |
During this class
you will learn less new technicalities. We add new dance moves
based on techniques you have learned before. We also add easy
and fun elements such as dips. After this class you will be a
better dancer and you will know longer combinations for partner
dancing. You will also learn how to easily swith to different
dance styles such as the LA style. |
| "You
can learn a routine that will only work with a certain partners.
But without dance technique you won't become a good social dancer"
|
Level 4: |
This class will
strictly focus on partner dancing. Now it is time to make you
a great social dancer. You will learn cool moves, and be introduced
to many exercises that will make you strong in a nightclub.

Ladies styling
(Ladies only) |
Ladies styling and technique means moving with
control, elegance and femininity. This is done through special
execution of steps, proper posture, shoulder and arm movements,
hip action and much more.
This is a 4-week class teaching you new steps as well as elements
for partner dancing. You will learn afro-cuban body isolation,
how to use your hands, and how to spin. This is a progressive
class. Consuelo will ensure that you have progress and understand
all figures. Welcome to a class that will make you sweat.
Anbefales sterkt selv om du har tatt kurs før også.
Consuelo vil lære deg detaljer som du aldri vil lære
i en vanlig partner-klasse hvor også menn er med.
|
Men's technique |
Uansett om du er nybegynner eller rimelig erfaren vil dette
kurset heve nivået ditt betraktelig. Et dansekurs hvor du
lærer detaljene til de viktigste teknikkene som brukes av
den som fører i salsa. Her lærer du hvordan du kan
bli flink uten at du trenger en partner å trene med. Du
lærer f.eks spinning , afro-cubanske bevegelser, etc. Anbefales
alle menn som ønsker mer kontroll på dansegulvet.
Kurset er designet for at du skal bli bedre til å navigere
en dame over dansegulvet med kontroll og stil.
Her lærer du hemmeligheter som du normalt aldri lærer
på et partner-kurs og som det tar lang tid (måneder/år)
å finne ut av på egen hånd - ting som vil gjøre
dansing enklere, og gjør deg til en populær dansepartner. |

"Den som kan
salsa kan være trygg på at det er lett å skaffe
seg venner uanset hvor man drar i verden. Nettverket man trenger
er internet!"
"I pardans må man berøre
den man danser med, og om du aldri har møtt dansepartneren
før så blir dere på en måte øyeblikkelig
kjent med hverandre. Når musikken stanser går man
hver sin vei eller blir mer kjent med hverandre og hverandres
venner"
