In this all-levels class, dancers will explore a dynamic fusion of acting and Latin dance styles combining the emotional depth of contemporary with the rhythmic energy of salsa and the boldness of reggaeton. Led by an experienced actor and performer, this class focuses on unlocking authentic emotional expression while developing strong performance presence. We begin with a full-body warm-up designed to prepare dancers physically and emotionally. Using memory and intention as creative tools, we’ll explore how personal experiences can inspire movement. Across-the-floor exercises will integrate dance, voice, and emotional storytelling, helping dancers build confidence and connect more deeply to their audience. Partner work will include expressive acting-based drills, encouraging dancers to develop chemistry, connection, and a shared energy through Latin-infused movement. The environment is collaborative and supportive, with space for feedback and adjustments based on the group’s emotional and physical energy. To close each session, we’ll dive into a vibrant, high-energy choreography that combines the styles we’ve explored, incorporating powerful dynamics, floor work, musicality, and a touch of guided improvisation. The final routine is a chance to bring together technique, passion, and personality in a fun and fulfilling way.
