The Salsa Beat

Level 5 Warm-Up 🔥 Our students learn the warm-up combo in 10 minutes as a challenge 💥 This requires a mastery of previous concepts & a little workout for the brain 🧠😅 What tools do you use to quickly learn combos?

Some of our favorite memory tools:
1. Counting with emphasis 🧮
2. Chunking (remembering short sequences as moves then putting those together) 🔢
3. Visualization 🏆

Level 5 Pattern 💥 Your steps say it all 👣 The audience often looks at the upper body of a dancer-- the emotions on the face, the styling of the arms. But in reality, the lower of a dancer is just as important if not more so! The timing & technique of a dancer's steps transform a dance. Tip: Record yourself dancing and watch it back with your upper half covered. Are you stepping on time? Are you articulating through your feet and fully transferring your weight with each step? 🙌👀

It starts with one class, and then you become obsessed 🫣 Raise your hand if this is you 🙋

🎶Salsa dancing can become a way of life because 1) It's a mood booster (endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, aaand oxytocin are released) 2) You connect with so many great people 🙌 Once you start, you really won't want to stop! 😅

Level 2 Pattern 🤩 with Becky & Antonio ✨ We love dancing in sneakers at our studio. They're comfy & if you get dance sneakers (or add suede to the bottom) they can be great for stability and spins too! Tip: No matter the footwear, it's important to keep your weight mostly forward in the balls of your feet when dancing salsa so you're ready for your next steps. 🙌 What's your favorite footwear for dancing salsa? 👀💬👇

We want to get through the combo, so sometimes we do everything we can to get through it-- including back leading. 👀 Is this the right thing to do? We don't always "correct" this when our dancers are first starting out. Sometimes it's nice to get in the reps even when the leads are unsure what to do. But, back leading can also give incorrect feedback to the leads 😅 How can leads learn to lead, without follows actually following? Let's discuss this! 💬👇👇

Tip Time ⏰ Open Break Switches aka Cumbia Steps have an open break on the 6 AND the 2 when you're doing multiple switches 🙌 This requires an understanding of tension and connection. We want to keep our partner close to us without any heavy pulling ☺️ Try out Antonio's tips and let us know how they work for you! 💬👇
