Pre-registration is required. Contact the Instructor to reserve space in this class, regardless of whether you have already been taking classes or Private Lessons with this instructor.

You do not need to enroll with a partner. Partner changes occur frequently in class.

Please fill out all pertinent Registration Material, and bring it with you on the first day of class.

If you have completed one of Darrell’s or Sarah’s recent classes, then this class is for you!

This Group Class will meet each Thursday from 6:00 – 7:15 pm, beginning 10 June 2010 and running until 29 July 2010, for a total of eight sessions.

In this 75-minute class meeting for a total of eight sessions, we build upon skills you know in Salsa and Merengue (and perhaps other dances you already know). This class will use those skills to present Rumba and Swing (two additional Rhythm-style dances).

Students should be familiar with cuddles, hammerlocks, under-arm turns, and the movement-of and reaction-to space – these are skills that both Darrell and Sarah teach in their beginner/new-dancer classes. You will continue to refine these skills in each more advanced class that you take.

In addition to having greater mastery of these basic skills, by the end of class you will be very comfortable in Salsa, Merengue, Rumba, and Swing.

Along with partnering, musical interpretation, in-class performances (for the other class participants – optional, but encouraged), developing greater strength/balance/flexibility, movement technique, and unlocking your individual and combined creativity, course material will introduce topics such as light and shade, acceleration, using changes in elevation, delayed turns, dynamic power, shared weight, dips/tricks, and partner communication/sensitivity.

This class is designed for dancers who have some experience with partner dancing and will move at an appropriate pace.

Please, no Street Shoes on the dance floor. Dance shoes, dance sneakers, or stocking feet are all fine.

Pre-registration is required. Contact the Instructor to reserve space in this class and to ask any other questions.
