What Should I Expect?
Like other dance events with workshops and lectures, NJISC2010 offers the same structure of hourly workshops over 2 and half days, with a variety of topics and levels of salsa and other Latin dances. Yet, our approach is significantly different, as we strive to develop specific workshop topics that may be more fulfilling than conventional partnerwork or footwork. Therefore, we are offering exclusivity of certain limited workshops, such as Azucena's and Carlos' Transitional Timing using their world-renown Salsa Grooves Timing Software and Griselle Ponce's Ladies Immmersion Program. Furthermore, after 6 long years since his last visit to the United States, NJISC2010 proudly brings back the true Million Moves Man, Super Mario!At NJISC2010, you will learn and improve your level of dancing and be ready for summer of fun at socials, clubs and other salsa events!
Please note that our instructors are available for private instruction during NJISC2010. We encourage you to contact them in advance if you wish to book a private lesson from these amazing dancing professionals.
