Bachata *Beginner

with Ronald Martinez

Bachata is a style of dance that originated in the Dominican Republic. The basics to the dance are three-step with a Cuban hip motion, followed by a tap including a hip movement on the 4th beat. The knees should be slightly bent so the performer can sway the hips easier. The movement of the hips is very important because it's a part of the soul of the dance. Most of the dancer's movement is in the lower body up to the hips, and the upper body moves much less. In partnering, the lead can decide whether to perform in open or closed position. Unlike Salsa, Bachata dance does not usually include complex turn patterns but they are used more and more as the dance evolves.

Bachata is commonly known by many as a very sensual dance.

Beginners Welcome!  and Ages 14 and up

Bboying, commonly known as breakdancing, is the original dance style of hip hop.  Created in the early 70’s by inner city youth inhabiting the ghettos of the Bronx, NY, bboying has become an underground global phenomenon. Its a dynamic art-form of physical movement with foundations on toprock (2 step, apache, Brooklyn rock), footwork (6 step, 3 step, Russian taps), power moves (windmill, swipes, flares) and freezes (baby, chair, Nike). Personality, individuality and creativity is highly portrayed in this dance.

Burlesque

with Leigh Torlage

As a former professional New York based dancer, film/TV choreographer, instructor and movement coach, Leigh brings into her classes a wealth of experience, passion and love for dance and performing.  Leigh’s Burlesque dance classes run like regular dance classes but with a flirty, feminine twist where you workout and dance while learning various styles (ie. upbeat and fun; slow and sensual; edgy and thrashy) with the added “strip-tease” factor.  Classes begin with a centre floor warm up, then continue with across the floor technique, style and movement, followed by choreography that is added onto each week to finish with a fully completed routine. Leigh shows you how to strut with confidence and style, dance sensually and seductively while incorporating taking off select articles of clothing (typically gloves, hats, jackets, etc.) In Leigh’s classes you will strut away with a confidence that will carry through to every aspect of your life.  Performance opportunities at the end of each session. 

May-June session theme: School's Out!

Broadway Burlesque:
Theatrical, Fosse-based, stylized – such as in the films Burlesque & Chicago.  Music ranges from theatre (All That Jazz) to Pop (Candyman) but usually has a loose story line/theme.

May-June: "Conjunction Junction"

Rock n’ Roll Burlesque:BEGINNERS WELCOME!
Sexy dancing to Rock music. Music ranges from Classic Rock to Punk Rock and everything in between.  Style is typically more edgy than the Broadway Burlesque.

May-June: "Another Brick in the Wall"

Intermediate Fosse Style Burlesque:
this new class is for the intermediate/advanced student who is looking for a challenging, more faster-paced class.  Music and style will vary.

May-June: "Mickey"

What to wear – be creative, comfortable and fun.  Remember you will sweat!  Please wear heels/boots that you can dance comfortably in.
