I hope you join us tomorrow for the class at the Granada (see previous article for details).

I'm also teaching similar classes at the Salsa Mambo Festival, July 23-26 in Palm Springs.

Saturday, July 11^th @ Noon:

“Music For Dancers” master class

At “The Granada”, Alhambra, CA

 

"Music for Dancers" gives you a deeper connection and a new perspective on the music. Enhance your dancing by mastering the structure, timing and feeling of the music. Designed for dancers, taught by a master musician.

Feel the music, and know it too!

 

This months focus is on “Finding One” and tuning your ears to hear more layers in the music, giving you more choices in your dancing. (You can’t dance to music you’re not hearing.)

Hear things you've never heard in the music, and learn structured approaches to enhancing your existing musicality.

This 90-minute class provides the foundation for taking your dancing to another level.

All levels: Recommended for Intermediate/Advanced dancers, or newer dancers who want to move faster than others. We do NOT dance in this class.

Excellent for partner dancers AND dancers who freestyle.

Music is music, and the principles in this workshop apply to swing, salsa, hip-hop, R&B, swing, jazz and almost any other dance music.

The example music covers a wide range of styles, from hip-hop, R&B, salsa, latin-jazz and even a heavy metal tune. Once you hear the principles, you can apply them to YOUR music, no matter which style.

I have over 80 tunes in my class play list (we never get to all of them), each included because they clearly illustrate a principle or two.

Questions: Call Don @ 818.903.0016

Please feel free to invite other dancers, including swing, salsa, hip-hop and jazz/modern dancers. Anybody who wants to dance to the music is welcomed.

Master classes are usually $25 at the Granada, but I worked with “The Granada” and this special master class is only $20.

This week I'll be in Palm Springs at the Salsa Mambo Festival (July 24-28). I look forward to seeing all my salsa friends.

I'm teaching a couple classes and will also be teaching with Edie the Salsa Freak. Of course, I'll be dancing every night, so save me a dance. Say hello if I don't recognize you immediately. A few of you don't look anything like your photos anymore!

It's a great weekend. More details:

Just a little bragging here...

I'm crossing 120 articles on my Salsa dancing blog. If you haven't checked it out in a while, please do and tell me what you think!

Edie and I are doing two 8 hour workshops this weekend.

If you know someone who always said they were going to learn salsa, this makes it easy!

We are in Garden Grove, and here’s a link to the details:

See you on the floor!

I taught 6 classes at the 2007 Summer SalsaMambo Festival.

Two were mine (Intro to Salsa & Musicality), I also taught two assisting Edie the Salsa Freak (two, three hour bootcamps) and two classes assisting Ruby Karen (social tricks and spins).

I'll do my classes again at the New Years Eve 2007/2008 event. See my primary blog (http://www.UnlikelySalsero.com) for details.
