Hi guys! I hope you are all well and enjoying life.
I have spent my whole career trying to find ways to help my students feel the music like latinos and free their dance. My Music Interpretation and timing system, “Spirit” will help you connect to the diferent rhythms and sounds in Latin music as you had been born in Cuba, Puerto Rico or NY!
I will give you tools that will help you enhace your musicality and free your dance straight away.
We will work with a musician ad live music so you get a chance to try some of the instruments and feel the flavour!!!
We will cover the following topics all related to Salsa and mambo dancing.( You will get notes at the end of the course):

1-Tempo or pulse
2-Timing
3-Rhythm
4-Instrumentation
5-Song structure
6-Song ananlysis
All related to salsa and mambo dancing

1- You will learn to find the tempo in any song
2- what are bars or measures, how do you find the 1, 5 and all the other beats in any song. Diference between dancing on 1, on 2 New York and ON 2 Puerto Rico.
3- what is rhythm
4- what instruments are played in salsa music, what are the rhythms they play and how do we express them with our body.
5- Diferent song structures and what to do where.
6- Learn to analyse a song from the tempo, structure, instrumentation anf style and how do you dance to it.

The day will be very practical so come wearing confortable clothes and ready to have fun!
