Course Content:

Salsa Foundations 2 is the next step for dancers who have built a solid foundation in Cuban salsa and are ready to develop greater freedom, adaptability and confidence in their dancing.

We'll introduce new movements while exploring how to use what you already know in different ways. Rather than simply learning more sequences, you'll develop the ability to make choices, create combinations, and respond to your partner and the music.

Through practice challenges, experimentation and playful exploration, you'll have opportunities to discover what works for you and develop your own expression.

You'll develop:

• Travelling turns — technique for leading and following turns while maintaining connection and control

• Creative combinations — combining familiar and new movements in different ways

• Musicality — recognising musical structures and matching movement and energy to the music

• Expression — exploring styling and ways to bring your personality into the dance

• Lead–follow skills — developing clearer, smoother leads and more responsive, expressive following

As your skills develop, you'll become more comfortable dancing through a full song, responding to different partners and music. You won't need to have learned every movement someone uses; you'll develop the understanding and technique to respond to new situations and keep dancing.

Foundations 2 builds directly on Level 1. You should be comfortable with the Level 1 movements, footwork, timing and basic frame technique, as these will be used as building blocks rather than extensively re-taught.
