I have loved dancing ever since I was a child and have always enjoyed participating into choreographies of different styles mainly hip-hop and Ballroom like Rumba and Paso Doble.
I still remember the day I first discovered Latin dancing.
I started with Salsa and progressed to Bachata.
One of my friends wanted to build a performance choreography and asked me to join the local theatre community to train with them . I was mesmerised by the sense of unity and made it my mission to find out more about this beautiful dance culture.
During the rehersals, I was showing up, knowing, that this would be something completely out of my comfort zone – I never ever had to dance in a partnerwork before!
I was attending the salsa class, and I quickly fell in love with the energy and passion of the music and dance and my salsa journey started…
Not long after, I had the opportunity to dance, teach, choreograph and perform with my Latin group in Greece.
The idea of creating beginners' classes was born during my summer in 2023.
The latin community is generally so welcoming and the sense of community we all feel it's out of this world!
Having gained experience and confidence with dancing anywhere I go,I was soon taking my new dancing skills and going travelling, where I realised that dancing brings people together, despite language differences!
What dancing is bringing to a person especially if they're travelling, is inspiring. It brings out the love for the music and you effortlessly communicating with new people.
It equips you with a different form of communication that avoids the torture of Duolingo!
I had to bring this fresh tropical heat and energy to the ‘grey and miserable’ England!
Finding myself organising my upcoming latin events in a local shop while having a coffee, I was approached by a group of friends that never danced before but asked if they could learn few things from me in order to join those latin events that was planning on attending.
This gave me the idea to assist and encourage new people to join the latin world, by having a large campaign with the idea to welcome newcomers to the local latin community,and welcome them to weekly events. Starting with creating a safe space for absolute beginners to start their journeys, prior to joining a bigger community in Brighton that so far it seemed to be very "advanced dancers" orientated.
I started my first course at the end of June 2023.
Not much later I set up another…and another!
Soon I realized that we were not just providing classes to beginners, but also creating a new wave of people for the latin community.
This community was growing week by week, and the word spread out of the city bringing in more and more dancers.
We started running salsa and bachata beginners classes, and there is still so much more to come!
We are 100% ready to be dancing with you! Come join us!
Besitos!
Summer
What to expect:
What should I expect from the class?
Warm-Up: We always start with a warm-up that is performed in the center of the room, away from the barre. This warms up the body, mobilizes the joints, and increases our heart rate and cardiovascular efficiency.
Barre Work: The main part of the class is spent at the ballet barre. This is where we really feel that famous “BarreBurn!”. We sculpt the legs, tone the thighs and get that peachy bottom. This is also where we perform arm and upper body exercises. (Small hand weights are used for some classes)
Floor Work: We move down onto the mat where we focus on our core. We tighten and tone using a series of pilates-based exercises that work through the waistline. Using mind-muscle connection, we sculpt the lower and upper abs and obliques.
Stretch: One of the most integral parts of creating a long, lean physique is stretching and elongating the muscles. We perform flexibility exercises to ensure you leave the studio feeling sculpted, toned and stretched.
Will I lose Weight?
Yes! BarreConcept® exercises require a certain amount of stamina, which will help improve your cardiovascular fitness and therefore your ability to burn calories. The intention of a barre class is to increase muscle tone which also improves your rate and ability to burn fat.
