Energetic Soul's Midwest Mixer Weekend
Posted September 11th, 2008 by Geo-
Energetic Soul Dance Studio hosts a weekend full of Casino, Rueda de Casino, and Afro-Cuban rhythms! Energetic Soul and the studio's artistic director Duane Wrenn offer leading instruction in Cuban based dance styles that can help dancers with any background expand their understanding of salsa, its afro-cuban roots and circular style movement. As well, this weekend will include conditioning and stretching classes.
Class Descriptions
- Understanding the Soul°sa Purpose ~ This class is specifically designed to teach individuals how to transition between the two main structural foundations of Latin Dance, which incorporate linear and circular movements.
- Casino Style Turns ~ These turns are developed with a circular mindset. The main difference between Casino style dancing, and linear style dancing, is that Casino style's complete turns happen in six steps, and linear style's complete turns happen in three steps
- Wake Up! And Get Your Body Moving ~ This invigorating stretch class includes movement exercises that are designed to warm up the body's core, incorporating static movements to lengthen the muscles.
- Timba Dancing ~ Afro-Cuban body movements done to Cuba's popular salsa music known as Timba. No partner needed for this class. Just come prepared to move your body and sweat!
- Rueda de Casino ~ This famous Cuban style is a group dance where partners are changed frequently through an exciting series of turn patterns called by a group leader.
- Triples (1 leader + 2 followers) ~ In this multi-partner dance class, we will break down both linear and circular turn patterns and combinations that involve one leader and two followers.
