Come and learn Salsa with Joseph Koniak, one of the leading forces in the Salsa World. 3x Official World Salsa Champion, judge, coach and choreographer for BBC’s Hit Dance Series, Strictly Dance Fever and Strictly Come Dancing
A unique blend of steps that enables students to dance unlimited dance patterns with a wide range of Salsa styles. Jorge specializes in helping students understand Salsa Rhythm step by step.
Music is played intermittently during the lesson – so students can practice their steps / routine to the music. Each track during the lesson is different and the variation takes into consideration different rhythms, moods and beats so students can play with their interpretation and musicality.
All classes begin with a Warm up and may end with a cool down. The warm up uses isolated body movements that incorporate the movement that one would use in Salsa.
The goal of the warm up is not to make you sweat or feel warm, but to raise your temperature and heart rate to a “working condition”.
Dancers must develop and perform an appropriate cool down routine after dancing rigorously.
The cool down is just as important as the warm up, to ensure muscle protection from extreme soreness and to prevent unforeseen injuries. Joseph Koniak’s cool down methods usually consist of slower dancing, yoga and stretches that are designed to lower your heartbeat after dancing.
