Body Mechanics- Intro to Movement and Fluidity
with Arianna Lopez

Class Description:

This class focuses on developing body awareness, control, and fluidity within your salsa basics. We’ll take a deep dive into the mechanics behind movement — exploring how each part of the body contributes to balance, rhythm, and expression.

Starting from the ground up, we’ll work through a full technical breakdown using isolations and movement exercises designed to connect your body from bottom to top. You’ll learn how to apply these techniques directly to your basic steps and progressively layer them onto variations for Salsa on 2.

What You’ll Learn:

    •    Fundamental body mechanics and posture for salsa

    •    Isolations and movement drills to improve coordination and flow

    •    How to connect your upper and lower body for smoother transitions

    •    Applying fluid movement to your basic steps and variations

    •    Techniques to increase control, expression, and natural movement while dancing

Goal:

By the end of the class, you’ll gain a stronger understanding of how your body moves within salsa, improve your overall flow, and develop the freedom to move with greater confidence and precision on the dance floor.

Level: Open to all levels; recommended for beginner, intermediate and advanced dancers seeking to refine their fundamentals.
