Dance Mix (Monday)

About this course

Sessions combine cumbia, merengue, salsa, reggaeton, mambo, rumba, flamenco, calypso and Salsaton, with the possibility of incorporating belly dance or hip-hop. Fast and slow Latin rhythms are used alongside body-sculpting exercises and dance-based cardiovascular activity. Learners work on recognising and performing a range of movements, with progress supported through an initial assessment, individual targets and self-reflection. Tutors may recommend exercises to practise at home as learners develop.
