Maritza's Cuba Trip Review Intermediate Level Class Series -Starts Tues. Jan 10th

Greetings Everyone!
Dania & I are back from Cuba and we are armed with videos of all our new rueda, casino, son, chachacha, mambo, reggaeton dance moves. This is your chance to learn some of the moves we learned in Cuba. Be forewarned now that you will need to know the 11 basic moves well and to know Balsero, Montana, Dedo, Vacilala very well because many of the rueda moves will begin with these to start.  I will also speed up your footwork pace because we are going to use fast timba music for these moves.

In addition, this will be your segway also to learn Cuban body movement to reach that authentic movement style that is totally Cuban. So we will be working on that as part of a structure warm-up and you will need to bring a foam-roller to class. These are cheap and available at Walmart and Ross 4 Less. Get ready to sweat!! This class will tire you out big time!!

Here are the details:
