Seattle Rueda

Hey all,
You may have seen this already, but I just saw it for the first time and got a kick out of it!! and had to share.
I love historical clips like this that show us how dance was done, before us. Oh, also, if you go and watch this directly on YouTube, you will find some great related vids on the right column, from early 80’s of Van Van to more 70’s-80’s dancing and ruedas.

Mini-workshop – two nights
Cuban popular music for the dancer: PartII Danzon-ChaChaCha-Mambo
Ready for part II? These three great musical and dance styles are all related. Learn about the instrumentation of each, characteristics of each style and how these forms still influence salsa and jazz today. In this mini-workshop, pianist Ann-ita Reynolds will lead you through an exploration of these forms. The classes are not dance classes, although basic movements will be described and the personality of the dance discussed. This class serves as a good introduction if you are going on to study the dances. We’ll listen to historical recordings as well as into contemporary recordings so you become familiar with the styles and instruments that are important for the dancer to hear. I will also demonstrate some of the key musical patterns. All welcome, even if you didn’t do PartI-Son. (Limit of 15 people)

$20 for the workshop (includes two nights) or $12 per class
Thur Jan 14 8:00-9:15
Thur Jan 21 8:00-9:15
Place: 4828 37th Ave NE (Ann-ita’s house- NOTE-a cat is present in the house)
To register, or if you have questions, contact Ann-ita Reynolds at annpianista@gmail.com
