SUMMARY:Beginner NY Salsa
DESCRIPTION:Classes will be broken into 5 sections at Level 1. New sessions start the first Monday of every odd month. \n1. Warmup \n2. Footwork \n3. Review \n4. Foundational move for Level 1 On2 Linear Salsa (of which there are 7) \n5. Dance with Music \nPhilosophically things to be on the lookout for\, the importance of melding footwork and partner-work when dancing Salsa\, the importance of spaced repetition\, the importance of tying everything to Social dancing\, and personal convolutional schemes to try to attenuate the lead/follow dichotomy. No partner required. \n*NEW* The Dance Complex requires ALL visitors to have a Membership\, Guest Pass\, or $5 Day Pass to access the building. \nCost: $23 Single Class | $85 for 5-Class Package | $130 for 10-Class Package | $110 for new student 10-class package \nCash\, Venmo (@Brendan-Folan)\, Zelle (bjfoley21@gmail.com) \nREGISTRATION: Not Required\, Drop-Ins Welcome\nDrop-ins welcome. \n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nLinear Salsa is a hybrid dance that comes from Mambo (a Cuban style that was popularized in the 1950’s NYC Palladium). NY Mambo is a marriage of footwork and partner-work from Cuba (Aftro-Cuban movements\, Cuban Son) and the U.S. (Jazz\, Swing). Salsa is a marketing term popularized in the 1970’s to commodify all Latin music and dance to a U.S. audience. Circular Salsa primarily comes from the Cuban dance Casino\, which itself originates from Cuban Son. Salsa is by nature transformational\, multinational\, and multigenerational\, embodying the shared heritage of Latin music. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nI was the assistant teacher of this class for over 2 years under Ricardo Contreras. I’ve been taking classes from Juan Lopez for over 7 years. I started my Salsa journey learning New York Style Salsa On2 in Worcester. I also work at the Havana Club\, so you can catch me dancing Salsa there\, and maybe the occasional Bachata. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\nI think it’s nifty. \nAccompanists\, Assistants\, or Regular Substitutes\nRicardo Contreras and Juan Lopez \n\nHow can students learn more about this offering?\nSocial Media: @salsa_ricura @bjfoley21\nWebsite: salsaricura.org  \nContact Information\nContact:\nbrendanfoley06@gmail.com
