BRAND NEW FORMAT PLUS NEW STARTERS GO FREE OFFER

BRAND NEW FORMAT PLUS

NEW STARTERS GO FREE OFFER

THIS THURSDAY 19TH AUGUST!

Yes, it’s true; New Starters can have a FREE salsa lesson at the launch of the All New everybodysalsa Thursday night salsa club THIS Thursday 19th August 2010!

In an effort to help make our club even more enjoyable and customer friendly, Thursday 19th August 2010 marks the date when the everybodysalsa Thursday night salsa club takes on a BRAND NEW FORMAT! (See table above). To help celebrate the change, and for one night only, all New Starters will be allowed FREE entry! So why not invite your friends for a free night out J

Exciting changes to the old format include:

*Swapping the times of the classes around, to allow experienced Improvers, the opportunity to have a go at the more exciting Intermediate class and assess if they are ready to move up yet!

*Intermediate level dancers will be pleased to know that the new format means no more sitting around after your class, waiting for the freestyle session to begin J

*Another customer friendly move includes inserting an extra freestyle session between the classes. This change allows both the less experienced dancer’s time to practice your new skills immediately after your class, whilst at the same time providing an extra freestyle session for the more advanced dancers before your class!

*Teachers, or experienced dancers, will also be available for Beginners and Improvers to help you revisit key aspects of your class, at the same time as the Intermediate class is buzzing away, so there’s no chance of anybody getting bored waiting for the freestyle club to start after the classes J 

How friendly are you? I would also like to invite all of our more experienced dancers to show what a friendly lot we are, by making the extra effort to ask less experienced people to dance during the two freestyle sessions, (especially if you see them sitting on their own), as this is so helpful for building their confidence and helps speed up development for them to join you in your own class.

*The entrance price remains unchanged at just £5.50 for class and club, or £3.50 for club only.

I hope that you’ll all find the new format more enjoyable, and if you would like to talk about anything, just give me a call on 01733 344934.

*And don’t forget, with FREE entry this Thursday, there’s never been a better time to try salsa dancing, so tell your friends to come and see why we love it!

Happy dancin’

Casino Rueda at the MOJO Tonight!!!

WOT’S ON TONIGHT - Thursday 29-7-10

 

Casino Rueda at the MOJO Tonight!!!

 

In addition to the New Starters classes 1 and 2, which will go ahead as usual, there will be a change to our usual format at 7.30pm -

 

Tonight everybodysalsa will be holding a class in Casino Rueda.

I know that many of you are already well aware of this dance, but for the benefit of those of you who are not yet clear, here’s a rough description:

 

Rough Description: Casino Rueda is a form of salsa dancing which originated in Havana, Cuba. The dance involves couples dancing in a large circle and carrying out various synchronised moves together.

 

Casino Rueda is usually danced at a slower pace than your usual salsa class, however it also involves a lot of changing partners, which adds to the excitement/complication and needs to be done it time with the other members of your circle.

 

Each move is called, by the ‘Caller’, just before the members of the circle put said move into action.

 

Each move is given a Spanish name and for the Leads, progress can be as much about remembering what each name means, as it is about being able to carry out that move itself!

Note: It is normal to get a move slightly wrong at first – so if/when this happens to you, it’s important to remember that you are operating as a cog in a dancing machine, so, DON’T STOP!

 

It’s essential to keep moving with the group, so even if you have missed out a move here and there, make sure you change partners in time to keep the pattern of the dance.

 

The class is good for experienced salsa dancers - minimum level (3)  So to make sure that nobody misses out, there will also be classes in Cross-body salsa for New starters at 8.30pm J

Over the years, we have answered many very good questions relating to our classes and courses, here are a few frequently answered questions:
Q1. I have never danced before, would this course be too difficult for me?
A1. This course is designed for non dancers and dancers alike to progresses at a pace that we have found suits the vast majority of New Starters that we have instructed. So please don’t worry, we will take good care of you.
Q2 I’d love to be able to dance, but Have got two left feet and don’t want to embarrace myself, what can I do?
A2 Here at everybodysalsa.com we believe that if you can walk, you can learn to dance. So even if you have tried to dance before and given up, there is still hope. We realize that it can take a lot of courage to try something new and we take this into account with our teaching style and the pace of our lessons. If you are still uncertain if this course is for you, why not give me, Alan on 01733344934, or e-mail everybodysalsa@hotmail.com
Q3 I’d love to learn to dance salsa, but do I need a partner to come with me?
A3 everybodysalsa.com courses are designed to be user friendly and accessible to as many people as possible, so individual people are as welcome as couples and groups to join this course. It is worth mentioning that salsa is a partner dance and we try to attract as many Men as Women.
Q4 I dance modern jive and would like to try salsa, what is the difference between the two dances?
A4 Modern jive and salsa share many similar upper body moves and so can appear similar to the untrained eye. The main difference between the two dances is in the footwork. Salsa requires quite sophisticated, disciplined footwork, compared to modern jive and is dance to a four beat rhythm, over two bars. Salsa dancers also incorporate either a pause, tap, or kick on every 4th and 8th beat.
Another difference between modern jive and salsa is that following a movement, the jive dancing couple, tend to pull back from each other, before progressing to the next movement, where as salsa dancers pull in close together, which enables the salsa dancers to incorporate more moves within the same time frame.

Thank You Merry Christmas

Thank You                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We would like to thank everybody who has attended our classes over the year, with special thanks to all of our wonderful teachers, receptionists and helpers, for all your hard work.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year,

Great NEW Venue for Monday evening's salsa club

Great NEW Venue for Monday evening's salsa club

Monday night’s just got better :) everybodysalsa.com have secured a great new venue -  Fletton Ex-serviceman’s Club, 243A Fletton High Street, Fletton, Peterborough, PE2 9EH.

The friendly Fletton club management have been very helpful in offering the venue at very short notice, since Edwards new manager rather abruptly ended 3 ½ years of salsa there on Monday 9th March.

The Fletton venue allows us our own large room, with a large seating area, a stage and a dance floor, better than the one at Edwards! There is plenty of FREE road side parking and you can expect a nice surprise when it comes to buying drinks, because the clubs non profit making, status is reflected in the price of the drinks! So why not pop along next Monday and tell us what you think?

Intensive workshop Saturday 21st Feb

Intensive workshop is back :)

Have you booked your place?
 
INTENSIVE SALSA WORKSHOP
11am to 3pmSATURDAY 21st February 2009
 
2 x 2 hour intensive salsa master classes for:
Beginners11am to 1pm
Improver/Intermediate1.30pm to 3.30pm
Investment per class: £15
This event, the first everybodysalsa.com Intensive workshop for 12 months, will take place at Fletton Ex Service men’s Club, Fletton High Street, Peterborough, on Saturday 17th January 2009
This workshop will be taken exclusively by Pattie Amos (UKA) and Alan Bull (UKA) and is designed for dancers who wish to improve their skills and technique, including those who are considering the possibility of moving up to the next level.
Numbers of Men and Women will again be restricted per class and we expect that most, if not all places will be taken before the event, as was the case last time!
In a departure from previous workshop’s, we will be holding a class, designed to appeal to dancers in both the Improver’s and Intermediate classes, as well as the more traditional Beginners class :)
HOW TO BOOK YOUR PLACE: A blue and Pink form is available at the reception, at every everybodysalsa.com weekly club and you will be able to book your place, simply by entering your name and current class. Please also provide your e-mail address, or mobile number, (in case there are any last minute changes) and we will need your payment of £15 before we can book you in :)
Sorry to everyone in the Starters Plus classes, who have expressed an interest, but we only have enough energy for two consecutive, two hour sessions :( and we did feature your class last time, at the expense of the Improver’s. The good news is, that your class will feature in the next workshop that we intend to hold later in the year :)      
Two hour intensive workshops are by nature, more demanding than your usual 50 minute class, which is why New Starters classes are not included.
EVERYBODYSALSA.COM INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS – A ROUGH GUIDE:everybodysalsa intensive workshops are designed to provide you with increased teacher/pupil ratio, over a considerably longer period than your usual weekly class, which allows you and your teacher enough one to one time, to make adjustments to your dancing and to reinforce the changes, which increases your chances of retaining the new information. Your class will take place in a quiet, friendly and informal atmosphere and will be split into two sessions, with one 15 minute break between. Snacks will be provided and the bar will be open for drinks. . For more information about this event, simply e-mail to info@everybodysalsa.com, call me, (Alan) on 01733344934, or come over and have a chat with either Pattie, or me at any of our weekly club’s :)

Private Tuition

There is nothing that you or we are doing that cannot be improved! And whatever you concentrate on, inevitably improves! So if there is anything about your dancing that you are not happy with, one of the quickest ways of overcoming it might well be a private lesson. We are receiving increasing interest in our private classes, which can be very useful for improving any aspect of salsa dancing that you are not entirely happy with. Whether it is leading correctly, following well, timing, turns, tricks, spins or dips, a private lesson may well do the trick. Our charges are modest, they won’t make you groan, £50.00 for a couple, or £30.00 on your own.(Prices do not include travelling costs, which are free if we can slot you in before a regular lesson and also do not include any venue hire, if required). Private classes are taken exclusively by Pattie Amos(UKA) and Alan Bull(UKA)

INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS

Our enthusiastic team of teachers/dancers provides an action packed program throughout the year, including Intensive workshops, which are aimed towards dancers with a minimum 4 weeks experience. Each two hour intensive class is taken exclusively by Pattie Amos (UKA) and Alan Bull (UKA) and numbers are restricted. Currently we only run two of the six levels of class available at each intensive workshop and classes at these events are very popular. Our last Intensive workshop featured a two hour class for the, 'Starters Plus' level, from 11am - 1pm, plus a 'Beginners' class from 1.30pm - 3.30pm. The event took place at All Saints church hall All Saints Road, Peterborough and cost £15 per class.

Our next intensive workshop will take place in November and will feature the Improvers and Beginners. Watch this space for full details J  

 

everybodysalsa classes back to normal tonight :)

everybodysalsa club’s and classes are back to normal this week, now that most roads are clear again and we look forward to seeing you all tonight at Edwards,

Best wishes,
 
Alan and Pattie xx
