Salsa Footwork, Styling and Body Movement Course

About this course

This standalone course concentrates on the individual components of salsa styling rather than partner-work patterns. Sessions use exercises and drills to explore footwork, arm styling, hip and upper-body movement, with attention to coordination, agility, rhythm and musicality. Learners experiment with combining these elements and examine influences from Latin, jazz, afro and hip-hop dance. Teaching takes place alongside other learners and a tutor, with practice focused on applying movement choices to salsa music and developing a more integrated approach to social dancing.
