Monthly Cuban Salsa Party + Dance Workshops
RCR hosts a Cuban Dance Party every 1st Saturday of the month at Lake Merritt Dance in Oakland.
We are offering three workshops this month — at 5:00pm, Ryan’s listening class will be devoted to understanding the structure of a timba song, and how we can dance musically to the overall energy levels of the different sections of a song. At 6:15pm Or will be offering another Lead/Follow switch Rueda Workshop — dancers must ALREADY be at Level 2 of BOTH leading and following to attend, as dancers will constantly be switching back and forth between roles. Then at 7:30pm we offer a 1-on-1 social dancing Salsa-Casino class (two separate levels taught in different rooms simultaneously).
LMD is a PERFECT venue for dancing, featuring a smooth vintage hardwood dance floor with ample space to dance. Here’s the full schedule for the night:
5:00pm Rhythm & Listening Music Workshop (understanding Cuban music with Ryan)
6:15pm Lead/Follow Switch Rueda Workshop with Or (currently attending L2 and up as BOTH L&F)
7:30pm 1-on-1 Cuban Salsa (Casino) Dance Workshops (two levels Int/Adv with Sidney and Beginning)
8:30pm DJ Ritmo spins Música Cubana
