Pa’Gozar! Salsa Class: 6-week progressive series. 5:30-7 p.m. Finnriver Farm & Cidery. Learn some Salsa and Rueda (wheel salsa) basics. Basic steps and variations for all levels from 5:30-6 p.m. From 6-7 p.m., learn the moves to make La Rueda, “The Wheel,” go round. Learn rhythmic patterns, musical accents and flow, the historical development of the Timba genre, Cuban expressions and the meanings and cultural implications of the lyrics, all while dancing up a storm. This is a progressive series, so the preference is that you attend all six classes, as each will build on the one before. We will allow drop-ins too, if you have danced salsa or been to a class or two before.
