Each class starts with a few slower salsa songs to warm up our muscles followed by technique practice. Compared to the intermediate/advanced level, there is an extra focus on basic movements for all body parts- which in fact is good practice for dancers at all levels! Thereafter, we will dance a shorter choreography with the mix of styling moves we've just learned.
What is styling in dancing?
The term “styling” is used to describe movement that is used to augment or embellish a more basic movement, or more literally, to describe the elements of one's personal “style”
Salsa history
Salsa originated in the 1900s in Cuba, where rhythms from the two main existing styles of music in the region (Cuban Son and Afro-Cuban rumba) were combined to create a new dance. This new rhythm was combined with American jazz andtaken to New York by Cuban musicians.
