Angie along with the Montuno Swing musicians will break down the rhythmic instruments in Latin music such as Salsa, Mambo and Cha Cha Cha and the order in which these rhythms are played to teach the dancers how to not only dance to the music but more importantly how to listen, interpret and recognize each Latin rhythm. This workshop will further help you as a dancer know when to execute the moves that you learned in the first workshop in relation to the music.
