In the Pre-Intermediate Salsa series, Tianne and Jack will teach a elemental salsa pattern with three distinct lead and follow variations each week. Intermediate classes emphasize proper technique, flowing movement.
Our pre-intermediate salsa class is for people with at least 3 months of social dancing experience. Students should be moving on from beginning classes and building a base of knowledge and familiarity with basic intermediate salsa figures. Dancers taking our classes will become familiar with leading/following these figures: (1) right turns, (2) left turns, (3) cross-body leads, (4) reverse cross-body leads, (5) catwalks, (6) right side passes, (7) baskets, (8) back-spot turns.
Every class, we start with footwork, bodywork and/or individual dance moves so you can get really comfortable with basic steps. At a half-hour into class, we continue onto partnered dancing starting. Each week of the month, we introduce lead and follow variations.
As always, no partner necessary.
