Upcoming Saturday Workshops
AUGUST SATURDAY WORKSHOPS
Salsa QuickStart (intro) w/ Sarah Riddle Have you been curious about learning Salsa, but just can't seem
to find the time? No problem! This 4 hour intensive workshop is
geared to get dancers and NON dancers moving to today's most popular
Latin Rhythm - SALSA! The class will cover Salsa rhythm, hip movement,
Salsa timing, 3 basic step variations, three turn patterns, and
more! After finishing the Quickstart course, students will be
eligible to take the Salsa 2 weekly series, without taking Salsa
1! Don't miss out on this ever popular, easy to learn dance. Register
Now! Argentine Tango has changed the lives of thousands of people
around the world! So you know a little Salsa, but you want to take it to another level, or perhaps learn a dance that can be done with several of your friends at once! Casino Rueda is the perfect choice, if so. Developed in Cuba in the mid-20th century, Casino Rueda is the Caribbean answer to American Square dancing - only done in a circle! Students in this class should know the basic Salsa step and fundamental partnering technique (frame, hand positions...etc). You will learn Spanish calls for Casino moves that are truly Cuban, and the distinct body movement that goes with them. Once you have a small hand full of moves and the calls to go with them, you and your friends (or class mates) can start up your own circle right here in local Portland clubs. You may be surprised to see other couples join your Rueda, widening your circle of dance friends
Developed in the mid 20th century by Buddy Schwimmer, Night Club
2-Step is a social dance said to the perfect ballad dance, but
can be danced to mid-tempo songs as well. With some resemblances
to Ball room Rumba and New York Hustle, NC2S is a fun and versatile
dance. Have you been curious about learning Swing, but just can't seem to find the time? No problem! This 4 hour intensive workshop is geared to get dancers and NON dancers moving to this ageless and ever popular dance -Swing! The class will cover Swing rhythm and timing, basic Swing steps with basic step variations; three turn patterns, and more! The Swing Quickstart workshop fills up fast, so sign up ASAP! Don't miss out on this exciting and easy to learn dance. Students will learn the equivalent of the 'Intro to Swing' 4 week series material, plus some bonus material in a non-intimidating, low pressure, fun environment. No partner necessary, no prior experience required!
