Frank's "Dance into Spring" Holiday Workshop
Series:
Passover: Monday, April
2nd 6:30-7:50
Footwork Building Blocks Do you wish you knew and remembered more footwork
combinations? The secret is knowing the building blocks. In this
workshop, we'll break down many steps and show you how to use them to make
fabulous combinations on the dance floor. You will also receive a chart
with all of the footwork you learn to help you remember
it.
8:00-9:20 Dance on a New Beat! Have you ever
wanted to dance with some one…only to find you danced on different beats?
Don't let it happen again! This workshop will focus on transferring what you
know from "on 1" to "on 2" or vice versa. You will also learn timing
secrets to help you stay on whichever beat you choose for the whole
song.
Easter: Sunday, April 8th
Are you
tempted to leave the dance floor when you hear cha cha cha? Do you wish
you could flow better from one Latin rhythm to the next? Everything you know
about salsa can help you advance quickly in other dances as well, and vice
versa. In each of these workshops we will give an overview of the basic
steps, and focus on the body movement, footwork & turn patterns that will
make you look your best with whatever song is
playing! 4:45-6:15 Merengue &
Bachata 6:30-7:50 Cha Cha

city of Boston.
