June 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th of 2010

In our second installment of our SalsaMatics series we will open it up two more distances from our partner. We will also explore and become grounded in our core Casino Salsa movements; enchufla, paseas, exhibes and vacilia. We will examine how we move out of our closed position framework and create a more fluid framework to allow for more freedom of interaction between you and your partner. Participants should be intermediate to advanced Salsa and Salsa Casino dancers and have a working knowledge of these core movements as well as "dile que no". We will be exploring using more advanced movements in your basic turns and how that relates to more complicated figures.
