In this course you will learn 20 Ska dance moves, in bite size videos, explaining step by step and dancing together, we go through basics of uptown and downtown 1960s style. Then you will go into the second part of the course that challenges you with 12 dance exercises for video ideas, you can post online or keep with yourself, however you like.
in that second part of the course we will explore different dance expression like femme or masculine, animal inspired moves(to joke while dancing and integrating hands), choreographies (to practice coordination and muscle memory) and much more!
this course is perfect for anyone that would like to take on a little physical challenge for a month and loves ska music and history! age and gender and irrelevant because you ska is mostly a solo dance so you do you boo!
Your Instructor
I am a Salvadoran immigrant living in NYC, I started to dance socially in 2009, my interest for alternative and subculture dances developed strong on those early days, by being part of a subculture and discovering the richness in music and dance in NYC
I started my social media pages in 2016 to document showcase and give visibility to music and dancing I wasn't seeing often online those days, in 2018 I started having in person classes after connecting with other dancers in my city, i wanted to hold spaces for people to learn dance and the history behind the moves in a class format, in 2019 I jumped full time as a alternative and subculture dancer
I don't know what else im supposed to write on a self bio
