Latin Dance Class & Events News from Danza Latina

(Intermediate to Advanced)
Monday 13th & 20th March 7:20pm - 8:20pm

This is a two part intensive workshop with I'an & Reuben. A shine is simply salsa footwork on you own. No partner is required for this workshop. Each of these 2 workshop focuses on 1/2 a performance routine.This is aimed at Intermediate through to Advanced salsa levels.

TO SHINE…OR NOT TO SHINE…?
Shines are a vital and exciting element within Salsa. When we first start salsa most of us have to get used to the whole ‘partner’ idea, which at first seems to be a strange ‘invasion of space’; After a while, we get so ‘comfortable’ with simply holding hands and tying and untying knots, that the thought of letting go and ‘shining’ on our own becomes quite confronting. We
don’t know what to do with our feet or our bodies, and the shapings and ‘moods’ of some steps may be a little unfamiliar at first. However shines are really liberating! It allows the leader and follower equal possession and enjoyment of the song, without breaking the ‘partnership’ bond. To avoid them is missing out on half the experience of salsa. Shines
should not overtake the dance, but it is an exciting break in patterns to watch and is great fun to do.
