1.  Reserve your spot for the June 26, 2005 Salsa Workshop w/Cultural Explosion Dancers offered by DWG!

We have the pleasure of offering a salsa workshop by famous Cultural Explosion Instructors/Performers. They are coming all the way from New Jersey. Workshop Classes will be as follows:

2:00-3:00 p.m.- Spinning Technique for Men & Women:  A bit wobbly on your spins?  Take this class and double your turning ability, from doubles to triples, quadruples, multiple turns, etc.

3:00-4:00 p.m. - Funky/Cool Partner Work:  Learn how to get in and out of cool spinning combinations and how to perfect the lead and follow. Turn patterns will include hand flicks, locks, and tunnels.

4:00-5:00 p.m. - Intermission/Lunch/Practice: Eat from the lovely buffet ($10-$12)

5:00-6:00 p.m.- Salsa Three-some Dancing:  Hey guys, learn to dance with 2 women at the same time and how to share your partner with a friend!  Ladies learn how to follow this unique salsa dance. This workshop will double the ladies following technique as she has to be twice as sensitive to her lead since she's only getting half a lead when she's sharing the guy with another girl. Lady has to be very alert and sensitive to the lead when she's being passed off from one guy to another.

6:00-7:00 p.m. - Salsa Dips, Hits, Tricks & Freezes:  Learn how to use the music and when and how to dip your partner, when and how to freeze and how to hit the highs and lows in the music: musicality in salsa - some people just dance to the music, learn how to dance in the music!!

7:00  Practice

Reserve your spot by paying on-line before spots run out! This event is being held at Gardel's Supper Club; 18,000 square feet of dance space! A performance by Juan and Christina will happen at the Saturday Night Party at Gardel's on June 25, 2005! To reserve a spot click here!  http://www.dancingwithgrace.com/salsa-workshops.html
