Beginning to Intermediate Samba
When:
Monday 8:00pm - 9:00pm
Instructor:
David Alexander
Prerequisites:
None.
Description:
Samba is a very rhythmical dance where the rhythm of the music is expressed in the whole body, rather than just in the feet and the hips. This class starts the first week of the month and builds on what is taught each week. By the end of the month you will have learned a very nice group of figures, and will have reviewed them enough so that you will feel comfortable dancing at a social dance party. The class will start off at the beginning by by teaching the basic steps. Then each week will add a few new figures to what you have already learned. All figures taught are leadable in a social dance environment. Timing, footwork, lead/follow, posture, alignment, and usage will be covered in detail.
International style Samba is the standard Samba that is recognized and taught the same way worldwide. It is the most common, is compatible with the most dancers, and is the best for social dancing and for serious and recreational dancers alike.

This class is $10 per person per week, or $35 for 4 weeks.
