Salsa Ladies Bootcamp in Amsterdam

Salsa ladies in Amsterdam, we are bringing Poetic Motion to you! Gina Abbate & Vivienne Vicente will teach an all in 1 bootcamp Poetic Motion style!

The bootcamp will take place from 12 to 3 and exists of three intertwined parts. We start with the fundamentals, techniques that will not only benefit your salsa dancing but your overall dancing. We focus on using your full body in dance, awareness of your body posture, of the music, the people and the space around you and we will work on maintaining a peaceful and relaxed body and mind when you are dancing.

After that, you can apply the techniques in a footwork/shines part. We will finish practicing partnering techniques that you can develop and apply yourself. Even without a partner, you can rock the dancefloor! To end this awesome day there will be some space after the class for questions and feedback.
