<p>Sarah will be performing in a Salsa group routine around 1:00 and 3:00 pm on Thursday, July 17, and Friday, July 18.  Come join the fun!</p>
<p>We’re talking Italian food, Italian music, Italian fireworks, and lots of Italian family FUN – whether your family’s Italian or not.  Festa is more than just an Italian Festival, it’s America’s premiere Italian cultural event. And it’s right here along the Lakefront in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. So plan on gathering up your family and friends, and joining us for all the FUN at the 31st annual Festa Italiana, July 17-20, 2008.</p>
<p>Festa Italiana tickets are now available; order your tickets today online by going to the order ticket page.  Advance tickets will be $10.00, a $2.00 savings from the price of $12.00 at the gate the day of the festival.</p>

<p>Have some fun during your work / school week with a hot Latin dance class designed for all experience levels! <b>No pre-enrollment or advance registration is necessary.</b></p>
<p>Learn <strong>energetic</strong> and <strong>sensual</strong> Latin dances like Salsa, Merengue, Rumba, Mambo, Cha Cha, Argentine Tango, and Bolero.</p>

<p>Please, no <a href="/faq/street-shoes/">Street Shoes</a> on the dance floor. Dance shoes, practice shoes, dance sneakers, or stocking feet are all fine.</p>

<p>Sarah and I have each updated our &#8220;About&#8221; pages with an expanded biography, complete with some of our favorite videos.  The videos demonstrate artistry, excitement, performance, attitude, personality, creativity, expressiveness, and energy that we find inspirational to our dancing.</p>

<a href="/about/sarah-calhoun/">About Sarah</a></p>
<p>In addition, the <a href="/prices/specials/wedding-special/">Wedding Special</a> page now includes several examples of what you could do as a first dance at your wedding reception.  Creating a unique first dance has become quite popular.  So much, in fact, that the TLC Network is premiering a new show called &#8220;Rock the Reception&#8221; about couples who &#8220;turn their first dance into an unforgettable production number!&#8221;</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Sarah and I would like to offer a group class (or two classes, depending on the amount of interest and the skill levels of those interested) in advanced leading / following principles, using those principles to invent exciting moves.</p>
<p><b>However, we do not have a good way to gauge how many people may be interested in such a class.</b>  That is what this post is for.</p>
<p>We envision a ten-week class, meeting for 75 minutes each week and costing $125/person, in which the focus will be primarily on partnering, musical interpretation, in-class performances (for the other class participants), movement technique, and unlocking your individual and combined creativity.</p>
<p>We will work in the context of American Style Rhythm (cha cha / rumba / swing / bolero / mambo), though not exclusively.  The partnering and interpretation principles are appropriate for every style of partner dancing (Smooth / Standard / Rhythm / Latin).</p>
<p><b>Past partner dance experience is definitely a good idea.  If there is overwhelming demand for an introductory-level class, then only minimal dance experience will be expected.  If we offer an advanced-level class, then considerable dance experience will be required.</b></p>

<p>You should <b>plan to enroll with a partner</b> (a friend / neighbor / roommate / romantic partner / dance partner) as the class material will be heavily geared toward creating interesting dancing with a partner.  <i>Leads, if you have no partner, you are encouraged to enroll anyway.</i>  Many ballroom dance classes attract more follows than leads.  Leads, your enrollment means that individual follows may enroll and have a partner available in class.</p>

<p>We have no start date picked, and no meeting time or place.  <strong>Provided there is enough interest in this class, we will select a place and time.</strong></p>
<p>Post a comment, below, to indicate that you would potentially be interested in such a class (provided the yet-to-be-determined day and time work for you).</p>
<p>Please indicate whether an intro-level, advanced-beginner-level, or advanced-level class is what you desire.</p>
<p>In addition, please share suggestions for the kind of material you would like to cover, including light and shade, acceleration, using changes in elevation, delayed turns, dynamic power, shared weight, lifts, sensitivity, etc.</p>

<p>This Group Class will meet each Sunday from 7:00 - 8:15 pm, beginning 8 June 2008 and running until 3 August 2008, for a total of <strong>eight sessions</strong>. <strong>There will be no class on Sunday, 22 June.</strong></p>
<p>In this <strong>75-minute class</strong> meeting for a total of <strong>eight sessions</strong>, we will discover how to produce many of the common dance moves you see at nightclubs where people dance Salsa. </p>
<p>We will be working with the Miami or Cubano style of Salsa, featuring many turns and spins for both the leads and the follows. Building on a simple set of common moves, we will continue to explore good lead and follow connections, inventiveness, and fluidity in Salsa dancing.  </p>
<p>The class will emphasize creating a solid constant connection between the lead and follow, and how to use that connection throughout the entire dance and in every move that we create! We will use a simple set of common moves to explore good lead and follow connections, inventiveness, and fluidity in Salsa dancing.</p>
<p>Improve your own balance and learn to recognize how each partner influences the balance of the other. Develop an understanding of how you move your own body and how those movements are felt and interpreted by your partner. (Applies to leads and follows alike.) Build the fundamentals for creating good partner connections and for leading and following well. <strong>Exercise those fundamentals to invent your own moves!</strong></p>
<p><strong>This class is designed for dancers who have had some experience with Salsa, and will move at an appropriate pace.</strong>  Enroll to improve your sense of partner connection and refine your body action and basics&#8230;and learn some fun new moves!</p>
<p><strong>You do not need to enroll with a partner.</strong> Expect frequent partner changes and numerous group activities and exercises.</p>
