Rules & Procedures to classes |
|
What is
an OPEN class?
An open class is where
Drop-ins are always
welcomed.
Most of my classes are both
Series and Open. I advise
people who have never taken
a salsa class, as beginners,
should either start at
the 1st or 2nd session of
the series and pay as they
go or buy the series.
You will get a lot more of
the lessons. It will
be more difficult if you try
jumping in the middle of the
6 weeks.
If a class is an Open class
& Series the Price will be
$15 for a single class.
(Nightclub prices will
vary).
With open classes you can
pay each time you go.
|
|
|
What is
a SERIES class?
A class
that has a start and end date.
You can register for these
classes.
You can
register up to the second
session of each series and pay
the series price of $80. If you
miss one class during the 6
weeks you will receive a free
pass to take in any of our
classes (Cannot be used as a
discount for the next series).
In order to receive the the free
pass you will need to let your
instructor know when you will be
gone and ask for it with-in the
dates that the series runs. The
free pass will expire 1 month
from the date the series
ends. NO REFUNDS or
credits for missing more than 1
class.
Drop ins for series classes are
welcomed @ $15 per class |

HOW DO I
KNOW WHAT LEVEL I AM?
Joby ‘Brava’ Productions takes pride in the
opportunity to give quality instruction. In
order for us to do that, we will need to know at
what level to place you.
1)
You could always call the office at (562)
882-4083 and speak to Joby to help you determine
what level you are.
2)
Many times it will be difficult to say unless you
come in and the instructor gives you a quick test
run.
3)
Everyone learns at different speeds. So the
following descriptions may vary to individuals.
Please read the following to give
you a guideline to our levels:
BASICS
This is for those who have never taken Salsa
instruction or are just starting to learn Salsa
(less than 3 months experience). You will receive
instruction that will effectively teach you the
basic steps and patterns, musicality, and will give
you a jump-start into the upper levels.
BEGINNER-IMPROVER
This is for those who have taken some basics already
but need to still smooth out their dancing to
properly transition between each step or pattern.
Also learn how to feel confident in proper leading
and follow techniques.
BEG/INTERMEDIATE
At this level you should already have your basics
mastered and are ready to begin using some styling,
footwork/shines and get into more technical lead and
follow. You must be ready to upgrade your dancing
with a bigger and more detailed repertoire of moves.
INTERMEDIATE
You will now be given less detail with
certain techniques that will always repeated,
expected to pick up quicker and incorporate more
body movement, spins, and difficult combinations.
INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED
Now, you are a level for challenge. Be
expected to sweat. Come prepared to focus and learn
quicker footwork and unusual, complicated
combinations.
PERFORMANCE LEVEL
Must be either high intermediate level or Inter/Adv.
You will be taught choreography, how to perform
using facial expression, body confidence and
presence for stage. Most who take this class always
by the end of the series leave upgrading their
dancing ability to a much higher level.
