New Year Latin Styles Fast Track classes

To kick off your dancing year in style, we are running a series of 2-hour fast-track classes in different Latin styles for one week.

Starting on Tuesday 7th January and running every night until Friday 10th, each evening will feature a different style: Kizomba, Merengue, Salsa on 2 and  Cha Cha Cha. Each class will cover the basics in the first hour and move on to more advanced steps and combos in the second hour.

Perfect for anyone who wants to find out what these styles are all about and try their hand as something new. Come and join in the fun!

Tuesday 7th Jan: KIZOMBA For all those wanting to be able to get into the groove of this slow, sensual dance that is all about connecting with your partner as you move around the dance floor. Our Kizomba fast track class will cover the basic footwork and work on connecting with a partner. Kizomba’s emphasis on lead and follow will benefit any other partner dance styles you practise. The intimate feeling of the dance and hypnotic music make this Kizomba both accessible and irresistible – no wonder it is growing in popularity all over the world!

Wednesday 8th Jan: MERENGUE The ‘easiest’ of all the Latin partner dances, merengue is often underestimated, but this simple 2-step dance provides the opportunity to work on the basic Latin styling required in all Latin dances and to learn complex turn patterns and knots. It can be playful and fast or slow and sensual depending on the lead and the easy footwork allows dancers to build up complexity in the arms as well as the lead and follow that are much more difficult to incorporate in other Latin styles with more complex rhythms.

Thursday:SALSA ON 2 Also known as New York style and originally popularised by the ‘Mambo King’ Mr Eddie Torres, Salsa On2 has become the preferred style for many of the world’s top dancers. The smoothness and flow of the steps and the ability to really let your musicality shine are some of the aspects of On2 that people love.

Friday 9th Jan: CHA CHA CHA Originally from Cuba and now popular world-wided, this cool, sophisticated yet funky dance is a must for anyone’s Latin repertoire. This class will introduce you to the basic steps and on 2 timing that gives Cha Cha it’s distinctive and infectious flavour. From there we will move on to simple, useable turn patterns to take to the dance floor as well as introducing the ‘shine’ element and the fun that can be had with this style of dance.
