WORKSHOPS
The programme of workshops is designed for four Salsa levels from, total beginners through to advanced dancers. The detailed timetable will be confirmed within three months of the event. In the meantime, please see last year's timetable.for an indication of what to expect.
The workshops focus on Salsa and are complemented by other dance forms and specialised workshops, to enrich your dancing. A fast-track introduction to Cuban Salsa is available for experienced Cross-Body Style dancers.
The workshops are delivered by some of the best Salsa teachers in the UK and abroad.
The programme includes: over 50 hours of workshops; a great choice of workshops at the same dance level, for intermediate and advanced dancers; *the best teachers, selected on their ability to teach rather than perform. New for 2008: Aqua-rueda lessons and party in the heated indoor pool!
For definitions of the levels please click here.
PARTY NIGHTS
The weekend includes three party nights. Meet dancers from across the world and enjoy inspiring dance performances, animation, line-ups, ruedas, and fun competitions. During the day, enjoy exciting rueda, templeque and reggaeton parties and fun line-ups with the Cuba-UK All Starts.
New for 2008:
- Party nights will be held in Lowther Hall (DJ's Cuban music specialists) and the Gallery Bar (mainstream Salsa DJ's),
- New international artists
- One hour show with world-class dance performances on the Saturday night.
Please note, this is an example of the Nov 2007 timetable to show you the sort of activities to expect.
