STOP SINGING: "123, 567"
START SINGING: "PA-PA, PA-PA-PA!"
Transform your synchronization and learn to dance to any Salsa song with perfect musicality.
Welcome to the world of RHYTHMIC MUSICALITY.
In this immersive 4-part series, we deconstruct the FUNDAMENTALS of Salsa rhythm and the CORE instrument layers. You won't just listenβ€”you will learn to RECOGNIZE, VOCALIZE, and DANCE to each specific instrument.
We will PLAY instruments, RECORD live, create LOOPS, and SING the rhythms until they are in your soul.
IF YOU CAN SING IT, YOU CAN DANCE IT!
πŸ₯ WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
THE THEORY: Master the basics of Salsa rhythm with the goal of thinking like a musician.
INSTRUMENT RECOGNITION: Learn to isolate the Clave, Conga, Cowbell, and Guiro in any track.
VOCALIZATION: We’ll teach you to "scat" the rhythms so they live in your body.
DANCE: Every concept is immediately applied to your feet, bridging the gap between "hearing" and "moving."
πŸ“… THE 4-PART ROADMAP
Session 1 | April 11: The Skeleton – THE CLAVE
● Master the salsa roadmap. Understand 2-3 vs. 3-2 and how to dance "on Clave."
Session 2 | May 2: The King – THE CONGA
● Unlock the tumbao and make your On2 timing effortless.
Session 3 | May 23: The Core Beat Drivers – COWBELL & GUIRO
● Recognize the high-energy "chatter" that drives the dance floor.
Session 4 | June 20: The Full Picture
● A live looping masterclass. Practice transitioning your movement between the core instruments.
πŸ’‘ WHY THIS WORKSHOP?
We use Live Looping and a "Perception Board" to let you visualize exactly what is happening in the music. Whether you are a beginner struggling with timing or an advanced dancer looking for "flavor," this series will change the way you hear Salsa forever.
