Your warm-up will guide you through breathing and fluid movement exercises that strengthen technique, musicality and flexibility, while also breaking down the unique movements of Afro Latin Dance rhythms, body movements and attitude. The across-the-floor combos will get you moving with turns and jumps using authentic Afro Latin moves, while also teaching you spatial awareness, inner power and stage presence.

This workshop is designed to help you turn up the volume on your existing dance skills. Whether you’re building on foundational techniques and need instruction on the basics, or are an experienced dancer looking to master more advanced skills. We will be focusing on problem areas such as “spotting” and changing your spot, better preps, deeper plies and more graceful landings. We will go over basic pirouettes, piques, chaînée turns, and fouettés, as well as a variety of stationary and traveling jumps.
