In Latin Dance Bootcamp I, you will move your body to Salsa tropical and Salsa romántica Latin dance rhythms; Salsa tropical is more playful and island-sounding while Salsa romántica is slow and smooth. In this workshop, participants will take time to master the basic steps of the featured dance rhythm, “Salsa”, with an introduction to Merengue and Bachata. Then the class will culminate with a few minutes of Zumba featuring movements inspired by the various dance rhythms learned in class to global music tracks.
