Salsa Music & Dance Weekend Date: 7th – 8th November 2009

Learn to Salsa dance in the beautiful setting of Over the Rainbow. Following the highly successful and popular 2008 weekend, Norma and DJ Beatroots will be returning to Over the Rainbow in November 2009.

Led by Norma Daykin who has taught salsa dance regularly in Bristol and Wales for over 5 years. Norma studied Latin American and ballroom dance for many years before developing her interests in salsa. As well as being a UKA professional salsa instructor she is also a musician and composer. Her approach draws on her unique combination of skills, emphasising rhythm and musicality, making salsa music understandable for all.

The course covers different styles of salsa dance (cross body, Cuban) as well as other club dances (cha cha, bachata, merengue, rueda). The weekend includes moves, turns and spins, technique for leading and following, shines, styling and musicality. The course is open to beginners and improvers as well as more advanced dancers who would like to revisit technique or increase their understanding of salsa dance music and rhythms. Over the two days the syllabus is progressive, culminating in intermediate level cross body moves at the end of day two. However, there are break-out options led by co-teacher Lorna Henry for those who want to consolidate their learning. The workshop programme is structured to allow you to pace yourself and concentrate on particular areas if you wish.
