It's with great pleasure that Smooth Salsa are re-launching the "On2" classes which we used to teach in Birmingham 8 years ago. There are a few dancers on the scene today who were around then and may remember those classes.
In those days "On2" was only sought after by those advanced dancers wanting to aspire to new levels and others simply wanting to add another style of salsa to their repertoire.
The reason why "On2" did not pick up in Birmingham was down to the fact that there were only 4 teachers in Birmingham capable of dancing "On2" let alone teaching it. Those teachers were known as the "Salsa Addicts", which I formed just a little while after I began teaching & Mel Carpenter of Salsa Central. The "Salsa Addicts" drifted apart a few years after we started to teaching for Latin Motion. The trio eventually took different routes and that's when Maxine and I began our own personal development within Salsa.
Just before the "Salsa Addicts" broke down our passion lay with dancing Salsa "On2" which we all continued to do but down different paths.
Today "On2" is the style of Salsa which is now the more popular style with the experienced dancer in many cities within the UK.
I have always wanted to re-start my "On2" classes but felt that there wasn't enough demand for it here in Birmingham. Despite this I have decided to re-introduce this class, with the hope of building a bigger "On2" scene here in Birmingham.
If your an "On1" dancer and feel as though you're at a plateau within your dance then come and try "On2". In my experience dancing "On2" can complement your "On1" dancing and also you have the advantage of what you have learned dancing "On1" can quite easily be transferred across to "On2" and vice versa.
This salsa class will be held at Oldbury College of Sport, Wolverhampton Road/Pound Road, Oldbury. B68 8NE. This is a spectacular studio which has a fully sprung wooden floor with mirrors.
The classes will be taught by myself, Michael along with other members of the Smooth Salsa team.
Classes will start at 7:30pm finishing at 9:00pm.
Each class costs £5 and lasts an hour & 30 minutes
Unfortunately we can't allow Stiletto Shoes to be used in the Studio but you can wear Jazz Shoes, Teaching Shoes or Greek Sandals as the heels aren't demanding on the surface.
This session will incorporate one level of salsa, Beginners/Improvers with the intention of adding more levels at a later date to cater for the more experienced dancers.
The image on the left shows a basic plan of the Gym and car park locations. The main car park is allocated on Pound Road and we would recommend using this car park as it is larger and closer to the entrance.
So why not give us a try and learn salsa in fun, enjoyable environment with Smooth Salsa.
