NEW | Beginning Salsa & Merengue Workshop
Salsa is a popular, energetic, sexy dance with origins in Cuba and Puerto Rico. It is considered one of the more difficult Latin dances due in part to the music’ s fast tempos, but with a little practice, you will soon be having a blast on the dance floor! In contrast, merengue is considered the easiest of the Latin dances. The basic steps and rhythms are relatively simple, allowing many fun moves to be incorporated in a short amount of time! If possible, please wear closed-toed shoes without rubber soles. ◗ Nov 15 | Su | 1-3 pm 1 Session | Fee: $ 69 | Sandburg HS AL-B780-F1 | Smith-Miranda
