Salsa and other Latin Dance Instruction

New York Style Salsa Partnerwork

Welcome to New York Salsa! Fridays at 5pm
By 8 weeks 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).

At the beginning of the class, we take advantage of the pilates studio (430 York Blvd, Hamilton) and do a few warm up exercises. For the dance portion, you can bring dance shoes provided they have suede on the bottom, but socks or indoor non-stick shoes are ok too. Outdoor shoes not allowed

$160 weeks for 8 weeks (Oct 18-Dec 6) or $20 per class. Registration is required for drop in.

Partner Dance Series

Welcome to the Partner Dance Series! Sundays at 11:30am
By the 8 weeks you not only will learn how to connect with another person dancing to a song, but know a little bit about musical interpretation! In this term we will be using various salsa music songs. Some questions we will be answering is, who is leading? Who is following? Do you know where our weight is? Are you listening to the feedback that your partner is giving you? How are the two of you responding to the music? No partner is required, but if you don't have 1, you most likely will be dancing with your instructor, Nicole Lamb :-)

Let's take advantage of the pilates studio (430 York Blvd, Hamilton) we will be using and doing a few warm up exercises. For the dance portion, you can bring dance shoes provided they have suede on the bottom, but socks or indoor non-stick shoes are ok too. Outdoor shoes not allowed

$160 per 8 weeks (Oct 20 - Dec 8) or $20 per class. Registration is required for drop in.

Salsa & Yoga Fusion - Drop in

We get it! You're busy! This option is for you. $20 each, when you can make it :-)
Pick and choose your dates!

1st Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm

Location: 1043 King Street West

How does one combine yoga and salsa you ask?! The premise is, that we prime the mind for learning with some breathing and yoga practice to balance your body and mind.

We continue the session with a beginner salsa lesson that focuses on
  1. Weight Transfer
  2. Rhythm
  3. Timing
  4. Practice to 1 or more songs - usually focused on 1 salsa song so we can know the song inside and out. Please note, by the time you are done the song you will or will be very close to dancing the salsa song on time. Skill - matching your hearing to the beat of the song

We complete the class with a slow yoga cooldown.

*this class intention is to work as a group and therefore if we have to stay on 1 exercise for those challenged, we will. For those who want challenge, I will suggest musicality drills (such as clapping at the same time), more salsa steps and ways you can coordinate your body movement to salsa music.
