Save The Date! Ryan & Sidney (Rueda Con Ritmo) are Coming to San Diego To Do Workshops Nov 15-16

Greetings Casineros
GREAT NEWS! I am bringing two stellar Cuban dance instructors from the Bay Area, Ryan and Sidney from Rueda Con Ritmo, to come teach musicality and rueda workshops. You do not want to miss these incredible instructors. At rueda congresses, participants pack in and fill up their workshop rooms.
 My personal experience learning from them, back in Seattle, is that they are excellent teachers to teach Cuban dancing to the many polyrhythmic beats and accents to timba music. Their performances are by far the most challenging and well orchestrated. For non-Cubans who learned dancing to numbers, like myself, new to rueda and casino, Ryan & Sidney have a way of breaking down the music and teaching how to dance changing time utilizing visual aids and crafting music that help the Salsero On-1 dancers to pick up the time change on the footwork. Ryan brings in his years of knowledge of Cuban music and Sidney brings her years of knowledge of Cuban Salsa and rueda. She is so creative in her choreography. Some of my best learning moments on understanding the music (Cuban music) have been with Ryan and Sidney.

Check out their website and watch their performance videos. They were the first instructors who helped me to navigate changing time from dancing On-1 to On-4 and back to on-1 in the same move.  Be on the lookout for their workshop information forthcoming! Just SAVE the date! Sat & Sun Nov 15th & 16th. We will celebrate and party with Ryan and Sidney that weekend!!
