You asked for it, and you got it! Duane is coming back to GR to expand on the amazing workshops he taught here in November! (If you missed the November workshops, don't worry. You should still plan to attend these workshops.)
FOR ALL LEVELS and STYLES! Topics covered will be Musicality & Drills and Partnerwork. These workshops will help further enhance your understanding of the music, dance technique, and ultimately, your partner work. Two separate workshops will be offered, but we encourage you to sign for both as they will build off each other. Duane will also be teaching a Rueda de Casino lesson at the GR Salsa Social later that evening.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from one of the best dance and movement instructors in the country! Based in the Detroit area, Duane and his crew at Energetic Soul Studios travel the country every year teaching at congresses and dance festivals and he is considered one of the top dancers and instructors of Afro-Cuban Salsa in the Midwest. His dance background ranges from Cuban Rumba, Son, Capoeira to break dancing and hip hop. Duane's experience and his unique way of incorporating both linear and circular style (casino) salsa dancing makes everyone feel welcome, no matter your background!
We encourage you to sign up for both workshops below as they will be back-to-back and will build off each other. However, if you can only make it to one that is also an option.
