RCR hosts a Cuban Dance Party every 1st Saturday of the month at the LMDC in Oakland. Here’s the full schedule for the night:5:00pm Rhythm & Listening Music Workshop: Clave Types & Clave Changes (understanding Cuban music taught by Ryan)
6:15pm Rueda Timing Workshop (with Or, for current L3 and L4 students — must have already completed L2 of RCR Curriculum)
7:30pm 1-on-1 Cuban Salsa (Casino) Dance Workshops (two levels Int/Adv and Beg)
8:30 - 11:30pm DJ Ritmo spins Música Cubana
At 5:00pm, Ryan’s listening class will be devoted to the four types of clave and how they can change in a song. We’ll talk about 2:3 versus 3:2, son vs. rumba, and how these changes can affect us as dancers (in particular when the “1” and the “5” flip during a song. Then at 6:15pm Or will offer a Rueda Timing class, new structures where the different couples execute moves on different beats (e.g. alternating couples dancing on 1 and dancing on 5). Finally at 7:30pm we offer a 1-on-1 social dancing Salsa-Casino class (two separate levels taught in different rooms simultaneously).
The Lake Merritt Dance Center is a PERFECT venue for dancing, featuring a smooth vintage hardwood dance floor with ample space to dance.
