She will combine key elements of Salsa, Timba, Bachata, Merengue, and Afro-Cuban dance to teach beginners how to groove to today’s popular music. Meanwhile, you will pick up details about how to improve your body movement, alignment, articulation, and most importantly, how to develop your own style. Even though we can’t yet do partnerwork together, Ahtoy will provide a technical foundation for students who want to eventually learn New York Style Salsa partnerwork with BAILA Society at a higher level. We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Salsa community! Let’s groove!
