In this workshop you’ll learn a Rueda de Casino choreography to perform at the Cubason Congress in Mallorca, Spain OR at RCR’s Annual Halloween Party at MNC on Friday, October 31st.
In the workshop you will apply and develop your knowledge of partnering technique, turn patterns, rhythm, and body-movement, taking your salsa skills to the performance level. Each week you will learn a section of our original choreography — a Halloween-themed Piece called “La Muerte,” which includes elements of Thriller. The workshop is for dancers who are currently taking Levels 3 or 4 in our regular drop-in classes, i.e. have completely mastered Levels 1 and 2 from our curriculum.
We will meet Sundays starting August 24th to October 26th. Each session is offered on a sliding scale ($20 to $40 for each two-hour session). We will allow drop-in for the first few weeks of the workshop but after that we will require dancers to register for the full workshop. Participants will also need to purchase their own costume and purchase a pass for the Cubason Congress (to perform in Mallorca — use cubasonperformer code for a discount).
Participation in the performance workshop will require individual and/or small group review outside of the weekly meeting times — we expect that the material taught one week will have been practiced and internalized to the best of your ability so that we can continue with new material each week. We will take videos during each session and share them with the participants privately so that you can review during the week.
Dancers who will not be traveling to Mallorca to perform can still participate in the workshop, in fact we hope there will be a group that performs the same choreography on the same night in San Francisco.
Participation in the workshop does NOT guarantee a spot in the performance. In the final sessions of the workshop if we assess that you have not learned the choreography in the correct sequence, with the correct timing, and with the correct style you will not be able to participate in the performance. We will also do our best to find an even number of leaders and followers but if there is an imbalance some dancers may not be able to participate in the performance — in this case we will include the dancers who have best mastered the choreography.
If you have questions about your level or other aspects of the workshop please contact us.
