1. Ladies Cross Body Lead Workshop & Latin Aerobics, October 7th

Grace's workshops are very detailed and filled with a wealth of excellent styling tips. Not only can she beautifully demonstrate each dance step, but she has the ability of breaking these steps down in an easy to follow step-by-step manner (a skill which only a few salsa instructors in the world seem to be capable of doing). Every dance movement is broken down according to the "On 1" timing. Ladies Styling moves are added once students have mastered the basic principles behind the step. Occasionally, some dance steps have more than one variation of ladies styling to them. When this is the case, Grace or one of the other DWG instructors will execute these variations and let their students decide for themselves which version fits their style.   It’s that time again ladies; time to brush up on your cross body leads and body movement technique.  This class will be small so come and get the attention you deserve.

October 7, 2006 from 1PM to 5PM at the Promenade Dance Sport Facility 2605 Lord Baltimore Drive, Baltimore, MD  21244

1:00-2:45 p.m.  Cross Body Lead Workshop, Review & Drills:  Tired of losing your balance?  Uncertain of your footwork?  Do you want to master your Cross Body Lead so that you can eventually begin to use your arms in a stylish manner?  Grace has put together a 2 hour Cross Body workshop because she feels ladies need more than 1 hour of instruction and practice during a workshop.  Bring your questions & spend some time focusing on one of the most important movements of salsa.  This class will have two 10 minute breaks.

3:00-4:00 p.m.  Latin Aerobics: Bring your tennis shoes and get ready to "get down" to great Latin hits while burning off some of that ice cream or pizza you love!  Try Grace's Latin Aerobics Class.  Grace has been teaching this class to private health clubs for over 5 years.  This class will also include a cool down and ab workout. Come and have some fun!

4:00-5:00 p.m.  Ladies Styling Cool Down:  As we cool down from our Latin Aerobics we will use this hour to focus on slow movements of the hips, shoulders and body.  We must first master stylish movements slowly to understand what are bodies are doing.  Grace will also use this class to help you relax into stretching any soreness away!

Pre Registration Rates:

    1 Hour 45 minute Cross Body Lead Workshop:  $35

    Latin Aerobics w/Grace: $10.00 

    Ladies Styling Cool Down: $20.00

The Door Rate will be $5.00 more for each class.  ($40, $15, $25) There will be no refunds if you do not show up as we reserve the floor for each student. 

Sign up now and get the discounted rate!

Attire: Casual, comfortable sweats or yoga pants, (preferably) salsa practice shoes (for turns and spins on a wooden dance floor). If you don't have salsa shoes, you can wear your evening dance shoes. Tennis shoes are fine or the aerobic class only.  They will inhibit your spins in salsa and may ruin your knees over time. You can go to the DWG Store to see if you find something you like.  Or go on line and check out shoes like Supadance or International.  They can get pricy but make a world of difference when you dance.
