What You'll Learn
In this class you will learn the fundamentals of Cuban style Salsa and the basics of Bachata, Son and Cha Cha Cha.
Salsa Cubana, also known as "Casino," is danced individually, as a couple, or in a group. Rueda de Casino ("Salsa Wheel") is danced among multiple couples via call and response.
In this fun and engaging series, Rueda is used as a methodology to expedite Salsa learning in any format. Focus is on the individual dancer in connection with a single partner. By the end of this series you will understand timing, body movement, lead-follow technique, space use, footwork, turns and combinations. Music is provided, video recording allowed and dance performance opportunity available.
Class Format
Class begins with a timing and movement warm-up. We teach step variations and patterns in rotating lines. In the second half of class we apply these step patterns and turns in partner format, where combinations are formed through lead-follow. After the first hour, we teach 15 minutes of basics in other Latin social dance: Bachata, Cha Cha Cha and Son. Class ends with a 15 minute practice session, where repetition of moves and individual assistance from instructors helps students solidify skills.
Salsa Musicality
In Salsa, timing, rhythm and dance flow is conveyed through layered music. Lead and follow between partners is created through the frame, points of connection and tension.
The flavor of Salsa derives from a fusion of Afro-Latin and European music and dance forms, enhanced by cultural phenomena from around the world, including jazz, ballroom and various styles of pop music. Salsa is dynamic and accessible. Beginner Salsa will help you acquire the skills and sensibility necessary to survive on the dance floor, advance to higher levels and form a basis for your own style.

The WSH North Room is a voluminous gothic space with studio mirrors and over 2000 square feet of fine hardwood floor made for dance lovers. Parking is available behind WSH Cinema, across Campus Road behind Anabel Taylor Hall, and on West and Central Campus.
