Lawrence Parks and Recreation is accepting enrollments for Beginning/Intermediate Salsa Workshop, a three-hour crash course in the basics of salsa dancing.
Participants will learn the movements and concepts necessary to finesse the art of salsa dancing, a style of Cuban dance that combines components from various Latin dances. The class will include a presentation of proper footwork, discussion of Cuban motion and creation of torque for turns.
Beginning/Intermediate Salsa Workshop is offered for anyone 15 years-old or older this Friday, March 12, from 5:45-8 p.m. at Sports Pavilion Lawrence®. Cost is $15 per person. Partner enrollment required.
This class requires face coverings to be worn at all times and follows COVID-19 safety guidelines, which can be found at https://assets.lawrenceks.org/lprd/covid/dance.pdf.
