Tuesday April 14th we start our special Mas Tumbao Salsa workshop series. Salsa dancers can expect to practice and develop their ear for dancing to the clave and staying on the clave. I'm excited, we'll have live percussion accompaniment. All levels welcome with an "on2" style focus. $25/person. RSVP required, please register by emailing balorico@gmail.com. The next dance series of Ballroom Dancing, Bachata and ongoing Salsa group lessons at Kenyon Hall begins Monday 5/11. Drop-in this month to get a taste!

My Latin students ask why they should take Ballroom dancing. I say because you will find other levels to explore with what you already know...like a crossbody lead or backspot turn. Learn to inter-relate dance vocabulary into other dance forms and be the guy/girl that is ON the floor dancing WITH the music. This week: 2/28 Enjoy both Ballroom for Adults at 6pm AND Salsa at 7pm for only $15 An opportunity to try it out, challenge yourself and meet other locals interested in dancing and practicing together. Kids & Teens-last week to sign up for the next cycle of Youth Ballroom. Ask about our complimentary class. Please call 206 679-7229 or email Vanessa at balorico@gmail.com.
