Details belowπ Thank you for sharing π£ SERIES π£ DANCE: SALSA CASINO LEVEL 1 This series introduces Casino, aka Cuban Salsa, preparing new and experienced dancers alike for a journey into one of the worldβs most dynamic social dances. The areas of focus are: 1) Posture, body movement, and style; 2) Rhythm, coordination, and projection; 3) Basic step, variations, dance positions, and movement; and 4) Core figures. Once students have progressed in these objectives, they will be ready to progress to the next level, where more complex and stylish content is introduced. They will also be prepared to dance elegantly in social settings. Registration minimum: 5 Instructor: Adolfo Castillo and Lisbet LΓ³pez π£ DANCE: SALSA CASINO LEVEL 2 Students strengthen their foundation from Level 1 while learning traditional Casino figures and modern variations, using clear transitions with spatial awareness. Students will develop the ability to improvise by combining traditional figures, taking into account their partner, the structure of the music (verse vs. montuno), and the mood of the moment. By advancing these objectives, students will be ready to learn more advanced and eye-catching content and will gain a higher level of social dance skill. Registration minimum: 5 Instructor: Adolfo Castillo and Lisbet LΓ³pez π£ DANCE: SALSA CASINO LEVEL 3 Students learn the foundations of Rueda de Casino, integrating previous content with new figures and coordinated group formations. Students will perform figures involving partner changes, group movement, use of dance elements from other Cuban and international styles, off-beat (contratiempo) rhythm, and surprise transitions. Registration minimum: 5 Instructor: Adolfo Castillo and Lisbet LΓ³pez β WEEKLY πΆ MUSIC: AFRO-CUBAN PERCUSSION Participants learn drumming and percussion technique, drawing on traditional and contemporary Afro-Cuban rhythms. These rhythms are rooted in the traditions of the West African slaves brought to Cuba and the Caribbean starting in the 17th century, and continuing through most of the 19th century. Some of the rhythms we learn maintain close similarity to their African antecedents, while others are more uniquely Cuban, Haitian, and Caribbean, influenced by the mix of African cultures as well as indigenous islanders and Europeans. Instructor: Adolfo Castillo π£ DANCE: AFRO-CUBAN TRADITIONAL & FOLKLORIC Connect to the rich traditions of Afro-Caribbean rhythm. Move your body with passion and flow. Learn from accomplished professional dancers and carriers of Afro-Cuban culture. Join an inspired and welcoming community. No experience necessary. Class is for all levels. Get ready to move, play, and challenge yourself!
