    RUNNERS UP SALSA SCHOOL OF THE YEAR 2011


    Salsa is a dance to music. Salsa music was created in the Caribbean and adapted in the southern states of America. Salsa dancing mixes African and European dance influences. The roots of Salsa: Son, Guaguancó, Rumba, Boogaloo, Pachanga, Guaracha, Plena, Bomba. 
Salsa is normally a partner dance, and Rueda de Casino is where groups of couples exchange partners in a circle. 
We teach the footwork so you can understand the ergonomics of the dance….the basic steps, timing and interpretation of music, partner dancing with leading/following freestyle and the footwork moves of Salsa.

    NO PARTNER REQUIRED…PLENTY HERE!!

    NO SPECIAL CLOTHING OR FOOTWEAR NEEDED

    (JUST SOMETHING YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE  IN ~ ITS A WORK OUT!!)

    GUYS…LOTS OF OUR MEN BRING SWEAT TOWELS AND SPARE TOPS

    “had a fantastic night, I didnt go in the end stayed a lot later so glad I did had the most amazing dances, the band was amazing the level of male dancers was so fantastic both in salsa hall and kizomba room. Thank you for making me feel so welcome I cant wait for my next visit to Barnet. Last night gave me back the passion I started to lose in Salsa I loved the evening my feet still hurt from all the dancing :-) xx

    “thank you sooo much for tonight…havent had a night like that in ages…”

    LESSON PLANS @SALSATRICTY;



    Lesson plan as guide to help you decide which level you are at
    @SALSATRICITY
    Salsa dancing can be energetic and is a workout and, for the benefit of all dancers, we recommend you obtain wet wipes or a flannel/towel to wipe/dry yourself throughout the evening as salsa dancing can be very physical and can cause even the fittest person to sweat

    BEGINNERS
    basic step
    back step
    forward turn to right
    cuban turn(some weeks can introduce cross body if no complete beginners )

    IMPROVERS

    cross body/Dile que No; including cross body send outs /fourth form/ Guapea
    ladies cross body double turns
    first form/enchufla
    back across/second form
    Routines will include all above including from beginners level
    INTERMEDIATE
    outward or hook turn to right and left
    3rd form or round the world
    double/treble turns
    introduce the basic dip
    forward turn to left

    Routines will include all above including from beginners and improvers level
    ADVANCED...building on all this!!! plus more so for example the dips and multiple turns will be more challenging and there will be a mixing of the forms
    527A0032-2
    At SALSATRICITY we have a gorgeous cocktail of CUBAN  and  LA… we teach the footwork with a Cuban feel……but by advanced you will have the understanding to do LA and Rueda

    “As a university trained PGCE teacher who taught in some of the top schools in the country it makes me smile to think of OFSTED going into some of the clubs!! xxx but they dont so it really is up to the salsa students to try out as many classes as possible to see what style of teaching suits them…it is supposed to be fun but you are learning a PARTNER dance so you owe it to all your partners to dance with them…..in time to the music …to the music and have a wonderful dance …you may never get an opportunity with that person again xx Love the dance…love to teach xxx”

    MAINLY CUBAN BUT WE TEACH THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FOOTWORK SO YOU CAN TAKE IT TO ANY CLUB

    21036_303415192455_771232455_4559515_7498369_n

    SALSA music has 8 beats …but you only step on 6 of them……you pause on the other 2….the secret of salsa dancing is the timing and pausing when your partner pauses so you do not tread on their toes!!……leading your partner….or being lead!!….and of course feeling the music so you are dancing to it rather than trying to remember the routine you did last week…which is where we come in…

    we teach you the understanding of the dance….so you  can go away and make your own routines……and of course you can dance SALSA to so many different types of music…Frank Sinatra… RnB…reggae….Red Hot Chile Peppers….anything with the 8 beats….as long as you put the pauses in!!

    Birthday dance cake and chocolates….let us know if it is yours and we will orgainise it for you
