5-WEEK INTERMEDIATE/ADV.
CROSS BODY SALSA COURSE

This workshop is designed to take your Cross Body Salsa to the next level – from intermediate towards advanced – by combining clean technique, timing and a deeper connection with the music.

Throughout the session, we’ll work on the essential components of Cross Body Salsa, plus elements of musicality and understanding of the different instruments, exploring both solo movement and partner work. The aim is to help you develop a more confident, expressive and refined style, always grounded in the music.
