All-Levels Salsa Body Movement & Isolation Workshop
A solo-training intensive designed to help you move like a salsero/salsera.
This workshop focuses on building natural, confident movement through:
- Upper-body and ribcage isolations
- Hip movement & weight transfer
- Core control
- Footwork coordination
- How to add flavor without forcing it
This is the class that makes your dancing feel and look smooth, grounded, and authentic — whether you’re social dancing or training for the next level.
🕞 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM
Workshop III — Copa Variations
(Advanced Beginner / Intermediate)
The copa is a fundamental salsa technique built around the redirection of the follower, making it one of the most important movements in partnerwork. Understanding this technique helps both leaders and followers develop better timing, control, and connection on the dance floor.
In this workshop, we’ll start by breaking down the primary copa technique so dancers clearly understand the footwork, timing, and redirection. Once the foundation is solid, we’ll build on it by learning two to three creative copa variations that can be easily incorporated into social dancing.
