Hola!
Here is additional information:
Is Cuban-Style Salsa
For You?
This lively and extremely social form of dancing is for you if you want to:
1. Learn many Salsa moves quickly.
2. Learn partnership moves and group moves/formations
3. Keep trading partners and dance with everyone,
creating a team spirit.
Because Cuban style Salsa ("Rueda de Casino") is done by a group, people in the class feel connected, like a team. In fact, a number of couples from our classes have became engaged or married! (See the wedding photo on this page!) See the Classes page for more details.
Stepping Out
DanceInTime has at one time or another offered classes at Gardels
Supper Club/The Ark in Baltimore on Saturday nights, at South Beach in
Bethesda, Rene's Club in Fairfax, VA, Ned Devine's in Centreville, VA,
Club One in
Baltimore, Ocean Drive in Wheaton, MD, Cecilia's Club (now called
Salsa Room) in Arlington, VA, Jin Lounge in Washington, D.C., Barking Dog in Bethesda,
Kasbah in
Baltimore, MD, Glen Echo Park
in Glen Echo, Maryland, La Palapa's in Ellicott City, MD, Red Maple in Baltimore, and many other venues. (Some
of these venues are now closed FYI.) Plans are sometimes made to organize
the group to go out and dance. There are Meetup Groups
in all areas that anyone can join for free. These groups organize events
to go out dancing together. Check out salsa.meetup.com/163 if you are in
the Baltimore area.
About the Instruction
The classes are patiently taught by Barbara Bernstein in conjunction with
other skilled teachers (Vince, Cedric, Allan, Mike, Eric, and others!) All the teachers are experienced Salsa/Rueda dancers
who kindly share their talent as instructors for DanceInTime.
Barb herself has taught Salsa for a number of years at schools, studios, clubs,
athletic facilities, county recreation departments, etc. in the Washington area.
She arranges Salsa &
Latin dance shows at venues in the Washington, DC area as varied as the Kennedy Center, the Verizon
Center, and local festivals. We also teach and perform at out of town
venues. Click here for more details
on Barb's background.
How We Enhance And Tailor Our Performances
The performances that are arranged by DanceInTime sometimes
lace dance demonstrations with educational components, such as discussing the
history and underlying rhythm of the dances that are performed. This makes a
nice program that both informs and entertains.
DanceInTime can run shows as long as one to three hours 9e.g. the ones at the Kennedy Center and the DC Zoo) or as short as a single song performance (e.g. the Verizon Center Show). Click here to read an article about the remarkable performance done in DC with 70 dancers at the Verizon Center, an indoor sports arena holding 20,000 seats!
A Great Way to Practice Dance Steps
How would you like to have a dance teacher "on hand" as you practice dance steps?
Barb created a CD titled "Rhythm Reminder" to help
dancers keep the beat. It has music with a "voice over" that counts the
dancers' beats just as teachers do in class----enabling them to concentrate on their steps. It is excellent
for dance practice. To learn more about this CD and listen to a piece of the
music, click here.
