ALL DAY SALSA BOOTCAMPS – SATURDAY 3RD MAY AND SUNDAY 4TH MAY
Firstly, what is a salsa bootcamp? A salsa bootcamp is an intensive day of instruction designed to produce a recognizable difference in the way you dance. It is NOT a series of workshops! It is an integrated full day course.
In these bootcamps, Jaime & Liz will give detailed instruction in the areas of salsa dancing where Melbourne dancers tend to lack most: elegant arm styling, body movement, musicality, and so on. The aim is not to teach you more turn patterns and shines; it is to add flair and grace to your dancing, so that you dance to the music and execute the turn patterns and shines you know much, much better! This kind of opportunity to learn straight from the masters of style without even leaving Melbourne doesn’t happen often. Moreover, each bootcamp will be limited to a small group of just 30 people (preferably 15 men and 15 ladies), so that you get maximum benefit. Don’t wait. Email synergysalsa@gmail.com and book now to reserve your place!
