Building Blocks of Salsa/Mambo (C) (R)

 

How the CYCLE works:

 

The cycle is driven by the "Turn Combinations" taught on that day, thus the cycle begins on any given day and recycles back. There are four turn combinations in the 1st level syllabus:

1. Cross Body Lead (CBL)/Reverse CBL 2. Right & Left Turn/Back & Side Breaks
3. Broken Left Turn/Back Break
4. Broken Left w/CBL (Inside/Outside)

If you come to class on a day when I am teaching Foundation Step #4, then you would start the cycle then and continue onto #4, #1, #2, and #3 where the cycle would end. If you start the cycle at #2 it would, you would continue to #3 and so on. Thus, you can actually begin at anytime.
 

Level I (7-8pm every Friday) for Beginners: this is for students that do not know one or more of the 4 turn combinations. This class is perfect for absolute beginners!

 

Level II (8-9pm every Friday) for Intermediate: this is for students that know and are comfortable with all of the 4 turn combinations in Level I.

 

Level III (9-10pm every Friday) for Advanced: this is for students that are comfortable with creating turn patterns and spins.

What is building blocks?: Building blocks (c) is a technique created by me "Frank Ritmo" in which I will teach leaders to create their own repertoire of turns on the fly! Followers will be able to detect any turn pattern and adapt to different leads. I have created a successful technique of building beginner students to become intermediate/advanced dancers quickly. 

 

My technique will teach you to become a strong dancer with your own unique style!

 

* Foundation is the most important key to becoming a talented dancer.

 

See you in class!

 

The most influential dancers from my first steps to the time I became a well-established dancer has been Eddie & Maria Torres, Angel & Addie Rodriguez and Cuban Pete.
