Étude

Curious to get a taste of what it takes to be on stage? These 6 week studies (Études) in movement allow you to learn and perform a short choreography focused on a particular area/feel of Latin dance.  Challenge your ability to retain and perform a choreography and  explore musicality. Celebrate your achievement by strutting your stuff ‘on stage’ at local events!

ÉTUDE #1 - Essential Mambo Shines

​Style:  
Mambo Shines - Salsa On2 (Big Band era)
Level:  Advanced Beginner - Intermediate Salsa On2
Instructor:  Angus Dirnbeck
Pre-requisite :  Salsa On2 timing required. Appropriate for students at iFreeStyle’s advanced beginner and intermediate level classes. Permission by instructor required. Contact Angus at angus@ifreestyle.ca or on instagram at ifreestyledance. 


**Assessment required if you have not participated in iFreeStyle's Salsa On2 program.  Previous performance experience not required.


DESCRIPTION
Much of what we do in Salsa On2 is founded on movements born of the mambo era. Big band, high energy music informed an upbeat flashy style that borrowed from cuban tradition and blended it with American dances like tap and jazz. As such it is a fitting starting point for the iFreeStyle.ca Études.

✅ Improve your ability to learn and retain footwork through a fun choreography!
✅ Improve your confidence with shines both on an off the stage!
✅ Develop your ear for music, musicality and salsa on2 timing!  
✅ Enhance your coordination, speed, agility, body coordination that are essential for footwork (and can help in being more fluid in footwork through leading/following)!
✅ Build your repertoire of essential mambo shines!
✅ Dance along side like-minded dancers with a goal to improve and have fun!


Important Notes:
1. There will be no “costumes required” rather we will coordinate colors/outfits and/or wear iFreeStyle.ca gear (will vary by project)
2. Timelines are already compressed so you must attend all 6 classes OR book a private lesson to catch up for any missed work.
