The school says: This course is designed for salseros and salseras who would like to add some groove, calculated shoulder rolls and shimmies, and stylized variation to their salsa dancing
We say: Salsa is more than just basics, CBL and turn patterns. This body movement class adds on to your fundamentals and teaches you the right way to feel and move your body to salsa music. Take this class to add 'Oomph!' to your moves.
The school says: Open to all levels, this class offers men and women the foundation to execute spins perfectly and consistently. Students will develop a greater awareness of their body and learn the intricacies of spinning, preparation for spins, controlling momentum, and stopping. This workshop is excellent for anyone that wants to improve their technique and balance while spinning and dancing.
We say: Holds true to exactly what the workshop promised. You learn of techniques to perfect your spin which includes the muscles to engage, the correct positioning, the strength and weight to put in and how spotting should be done.
Afro Cuban Body Isolation & Movement by Andy Suarez

Friday, 14 December 2007
The school says: Learn essential dance exercises that will help you produce the Afro-Cuban sabor to your Salsa shines.
We say: Don’t expect to learn a series of shines. The class is predominantly about dance exercises where students execute various Afro-Cuban moves demonstrated by Andy. Get ready for lots of body isolations, shoulder rolls, some jumping, a little drama and a good workout from head to toe.
What is Bachata: Bachata originates from the Dominican Republic. The music is played in 4/4 time and often tells of bitter-sweet stories. The basic footwork of the dance consists of moving back and forth or sideways. The dance is characterised by sensual hip and body movements.
