1) Music: Salsa, Timba Y Amor, Issac Delgado, SuperCubano (latest Delgado Album)

Warm up and going through our developing repetoire.  The song is  about a  couple from Puerto Rico and Cuba – He loves Salsa and she Timba.

2) Music: La Gorda, Wil Campa, Todo es Posible

Salsa Time to Son Time :

L1R2L3   P4   R5L6R7L8   P1   R2L3R4   P5   L6R7L8

Explanation :  L1R2L3   P4   -  Left step on 1 , Right on 2 and so on. P = Pause.  In Salsa we often tap on the pause. If you are dancing Son you typically won’t tap on the pause, if you are just dancing to Son time, you can do as you please.

So when switching to Son we step an extra step on 8 onto our left (just like in Ponche). In Son time  our anchors are beats 4 and 8 that correspond to a pluck on the Bass.

Son Time to Salsa Time :

R2L3R4   P5   L6R7TL8   L1LR2L3   P4   R5L6R7

When heading back to Salsa, we tap on 8 with our left and then immediately step back with same foot “1″.

4) Music: El Veterano, Maikel Blanco & Suprema Ley, Mi Olvidé Quien Era

Uno Y Cinco to match the hits in the song.   Practiced Salsa/son switching to a faster tempo.

5) Music: Fuga (Cha-cha-chá), Tiempo Libre, Bach in Havana

Cha-cha-cha – vuelta, izquierda, enchufla.   Song is based on Bach’s Sonata In D Minor – how cool is that ??

6) Music: El Año Que Viene, Issac Delgado, Los Grandes Exitos De Isaac Delgado

We studied a move taught by Duane Wren. Practiced it to our standard slow practice song.

Let call it “El Duane”.  See our own Maritza demonstrating it:

Let me know if you have any questions.

Doors: 8pm

Savani will open the show at 8:30 and the Supersones will come on for dancing 9:45 until 11:30.

Cover: $10

The full pass is $110 for Fri and Sat night parties, plus all day Sat and Sun workshops. If you pay for workshops individually they’re $20 each. Or a Saturday workshop pass is $60, and the Saturday party is $35.

I expect there will be several people driving down Saturday and returning Sunday. It would be great to have a small crowd from Seattle. The hotel is $114 + tax per room, and that’s the total cost for up to 4 people.

We’ll figure out carpools as the time gets closer, but in the meantime you can let me know if you’re interested in carpooling.

Location: Broadview Library meeting room, 12755 Greenwood Ave N; on the #5 Metro bus route, just a few miles north of Sonny Newman’s Dance Hall (**This event is not sponsored by the Seattle Public Library.**)

Hope to see many of you this afternoon!

And I’ll be spinning many of these tonight at Club Sur.
