WHAT OUR CLASSES ARE LIKE:
THE ATMOSPHERE
Classes are lively, fun, and
no partner is needed.
A Cuban Salsa dance class ("Salsa Rueda") feels like a team,
and many class members have become good
friends. (In fact, a number of
couples who got to know each other in
our classes have gotten engaged or
married. There is a photo from one
of these
couple's wedding on this website!)
Classes cover beginner, intermediate
and advanced levels. The
regular classes are drop-in
unless otherwise noted.
We generally break
into groups so everyone can move at their
level. The atmosphere is
friendly and informal, and newcomers are made
to feel welcome. A lot of material is
covered in every class and we always do plenty of
review to help reinforce the moves.
GROUP DISCOUNT:
Contact Barb about a discount
for groups--(and to get on the mailing
list):
BarbBtalks@aol.com.
HOW TO DRESS
Feel free to dress
comfortably and informally. You can
wear socks or shoes
with a leather bottom like loafers, as it's easy
to do turns in them. They don't stick to the
floor like gym shoes. For the first
several classes, though, don't worry
about shoes. Initially you are not doing
spins but just learning the movement and
rhythms. And you can see
then what others wear.
INSTRUCTION
The Cuban Salsa lessons are patiently
taught by instructor Barbara Bernstein in
conjunction with a number of other skilled
teachers. All the teachers are
experienced Salsa Rueda dancers who kindly share their
talent as instructors with DanceInTime.com. For
Barb's full biography, click here.
SPECIAL
"CUSTOM" PROGRAMSa
Additional classes have also been set up
to teach other groups or individuals.
Barb has taught Cuban Salsa (Rueda) to groups
out-of-town, as well as training local
professional performing teams.
She taught high school students, young
children at summer camps and in schools, and
run
workshops at high schools and colleges (e.g. Howard High,
Einstein High in Wheaton MD, Walter Johnson,
Bowie State University, University of Maryland
in College Park and in Baltimore, MD, Prince Georges Community College
in Largo, MD, American University in
Washington, DC, Green Hedges Elementary
School in Vienna, VA, and Lafayette
Elementary School in DC, plus others).
In addition, Barb has
taught lunch-time and after-work Salsa classes to
government and private sector employees in their offices and fitness centers
(e.g. at Census Bureau and GAO in Washington
DC, at private tech
firms in Maryland, etc).
TO SCHEDULE A CLASS OR PROGRAM:
If you know of a group interested in
lessons, or want to discuss private
instruction,
contact Barb.
Also, don't miss the team-building
programs that are available, designed for government or
private industry offices as well as
schools. Each program is tailored
to the needs of the hiring organization.
