Get ready to Dance Salsa! It’s dynamic, it’s fun, it’s social, it’s universal, it’s timeless – what’s not to love about Salsa! Giulio’s Salsa classes are based on the SOSA Style syllabus. Giulio was trained by world-renowned Fernando Sosa in Italy and is certified to teach you SOSA Style. During this workshop course you will learn the basics of dancing Salsa with a Partner in an easy and fun way.

Salsa is a dynamic and exciting partner dance, a great skill and social activity that will add way more fun and passion to your daily life. Dancing Salsa involves both Partnerwork and Shines (solo parts).

In this course, we will focus on the “Partnerwork” aspect – when you dance in connection with your dance Partner as a couple in frame – one is the leader and the other is the follower. In this program, we will also focus on the “Shines” aspect – this is when the partners temporarily dance solo – apart from each other – to show off their own fancy footwork variations before reconnecting to continue the dance as a couple in frame.
