Salsa Classes at Zee With Nicole Lamb!

Partner SWING Dance Series - Sundays at 10:30am

By the 4 weeks you will learn how to be a better lead and follow, transferring the connection skills used in Westcoast Swing that will be taught in class. "West Coast Swing is a partner dance with roots in Lindy Hop, characterized by an elastic look that results from its extension-compression technique of partner connection and is danced primarily in a slotted area on the dance floor. ...Traditional figures include 6-count and 8-count patterns of one of the four basic varieties: (1) Starter Step, (2) Side Pass, (3) Push Break / Sugar Push, (4) Whip.[2] The Anchor Step is a common ending pattern of many West Coast Swing figures.[3][4] Alternatively the basic patterns in West Coast Swing are defined as: Push Break (or Sugar Push); Left Side Pass; Right Side Pass; Tuck Turn; and Whip. Virtually all other moves in West Coast Swing are variations of these basic patterns." Please bring dance shoes (non stick) or even socks because Outdoor shoes not allowed

You not only will emerge yourself in the rhythms of salsa but you will also learn how to connect with another person dancing to this flowy style of music! This style of salsa primarily focuses on keeping the space tight, being close to your partner and yes, because of this tight linear dance, you learn how to spin on the spot! We will also learn how to express ourselves through body movement and "styling"

A partner is not needed because we will be switching partners and if the music calls for it, perhaps learn a couple of "shines" along the way (this is when the partners break out of their connection and dance on their own).

Please bring dance (non stick)/inside shoes or even socks as Outdoor shoes not allowed
