How Is Zen Salsa Mastery Boot Camp Different From Other Classes or Workshops
Zen Salsa Mastery Bootcamp is designed for you to learn important concepts first. And when you apply this concept to your moves (that are very basic) or the moves you already know in a salsa song, you will be realizing that this concept is really making sense ---- so it flows like water and you will find it ENLIGHTENLING !!!!
No need to worry about memorizing complex turn patterns to be impressive on the dance floor. And no need to be stuck during the dance, thinking "Oh what do I do now". We will show you how impressive your dancing can be by using only the very basic patterns. Once you become good at applying ZEN salsa principles to these basic patterns, you can do the same thing to more complex patterns.
We will show you how you can achieve that level of ZEN step by step by following our instruction, and practice during the bootcamp. You will learn all that improtant concept that is necessary to acheive that level where you know what to do as an advanced beginner/intermediate level dancer to impress your peers and your dance partner.
