We are about to celebrate our second anniversary on the 28 of August, but beforehand I would like to say that everything we have achieved has been down to all of you who show up every 2nd and 4th Sunday, and who believed and keeps believing in us, those who have supported us via the web, social networks and by spreading the word.

It all started with a dream, an idea to hold a regular salsa party where those of us who love salsa could come and have fun.

The first social we had was on 24th August 2008. We had the support of many people and promoters, and I still remember how we were shared all the emotions involved, the nerves and happiness etc, without exception.

We are also very happy and proud to say that we have appeared twice in the New York Times in different articles related to salsa in New York, and this is thanks to all your support which has given the Vieja Guardia social a reputation as one of the places to go for great salsa in Manhattan.

SATURDAY, MAY 22nd

Do you ask yourself one or more of these questions…….

How can I improve my leading and follow?

Why do some of the turn patterns I learn in class don’t work in social dancing?

How can I dance in complete sync with my partner to
make all the moves look and feel smooth and easy?

How can the instruments help me fix all of the issues from the
questions above?

How can I improvise more moves when I dance Salsa in Social
Events?

I want to talk about the common issues that happen on the
dance floor and more important how to fix them.I've been dancing/teaching for more than 12 years and it took me all this time to find out the answers to all these questions myself...

Now I want to share with you my experience and knowledge (which took me years to learn) and explained what helped me the most to improve my dancing and summarize this into a workshop!!

If you are asking yourself all of these questions and want to improve your dancing then this will be the perfect workshop for you! Of course, we are going to cover
much more than that, as well as answer any of questions that you have
on your mind. We encourage you to bring them to the workshop!!!

Workshop Program:

1) Timing and Musicality: 1HR

How to listen to the conga (live) Clave (live) Cowbell (live)
by a professional percussionist Willie Moreno. You will learn how to dance in different ways using these instruments to create a different feeling while you are dancing.
Learn how these instruments guide you to follow and lead with precision.

2) Leading & Following Techniques (with live instruments):  1.5 hrs

“How important these little details are that make a huge difference”,
I will cover the details that help you improve your leading and following, talk about positions of the hands, rotations, correct resistance, positions of the body, and how to apply this to turns that we use all the time on the Dance Floor or Performing.

All these details will help you to improve and guarantee you will feel the difference after this workshop.

We will record the workshop and I will give you the access to watch this valuable information any time from the comfort of your home.

3) We will have 30 min of Questions and Answers.
