Level 1.5 Salsa Tuesdays - Advanced Beginners
6-Week Series
This progressive 6-week series class is intended for beginner students and introduces the salsa on2 basics and foundational concepts. Throughout the six weeks we will continue to focus on timing, musicality, building on the layers of the salsa basic step, learning left and right turns, simple footwork drills, and progressing with introductory partner work techniques that are fundamental to basic On2 salsa. We recommend taking the Level 1 Absolute Beginners 6-week series at least once before registering for Level 1.5.
By the end of the class you will be proficient in:
- Leading and following steps to a basic salsa rhythm
- Executing left and right turns with and without a partner
- Simple footwork drills (side basic, back basic, and other “on-tempo” shines)
You will also be introduced to:
- Cross-body-lead steps and signaling for both leads and follows
- Combining steps and changing their direction to create your own shines
*Note: there is a possibility that Level 1.5 and Level 2 will be combined into one class if registration numbers are less than 15 students per class.
