About the course
This is a short, progressive course designed to teach the basic foundations of Cross Body Salsa.
We'll demonstrate the difference between leading and following in the first class, asking you to pick a role for the course.
Learning to partner dance is like learning a new language. There are lots of different elements to it which you have to keep trying over time to develop muscle memory and fluidity. With this course, while you will be practising many different things at once, we have broken it down into the following 3 focus areas:
🎵 09.09: Understanding rhythm and timing through the basic steps
💞 23.09: Building connection and communication through partner work
👣 30.09: Developing fluidity through a social dance routine
We've got 3 weeks to really go into depth and give you practice time in between the learning with the free dance social right after. As you will be swapping partners throughout the course, it will also be a lovely way to get to know a new group of people over time. For us, learning salsa gives us a space to build community through connection, care and the joy of dancing together ❤️🔥
Welfare & Accessibility
At each class there will be a dedicated Welfare Team Member. They will be around to give extra support on moves as well as any needs or concerns you might have to participate in the class and feel comfy in the space.
While spots on the course are limited to a small group, it is taking place in a queer pub, which will remain open to the public.
The pub has no steps into it and the toilet is on the ground floor with no steps.
We are actively working on making our courses as safe and inclusive as possible. Please get in contact with any needs you might have that would make it better work for you.
Tickets
There are only 20 spots on this course. We will put the waitlist on if we sell out.
We are offering 3 reduced cost spots for people that identify as Latinx / BIPOC
Salsa & Bachata Dance Social
After each class Sanura Dance are hosting a free Salsa & Bachata social where you can stay to practise what you have learnt and meet other people from the community. To help them with tracking attendance please RSVP here:
