Teachers:
Carmen Nelson and Marisa Mellizo
The class will teach popular dances from Latin America and the Caribbean. First, we will explore the roots of Latin Popular Dance in Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Cuban movement, including Rumba Cubana. Then, we will learn steps for Bachata and Merengue from the Dominican Republic, Salsa from the Americas, Salsa Casino and Sueltas from Cuba and others. Our focus will be on establishing a relationship between dancer and music, essential to the way people move in Latin America. We will also explore how rhythm and dance evolve. The class will follow one of the most important dance rules in Latin cultures – to enjoy ourselves.
Carmen and Marissa have 30 years of combined experience as teachers and dancers. Their style of teaching is relaxed and warm. They do not encourage
competition nor do they take the class too seriously. You will enjoy a good work out while learning to move to the different rhythms. This is not a partnering class; fun is guaranteed.
Carmen, a native of Guatemala, introduced popular dance from Latin America and the Caribbean to the Boulder community in 1992. Marisa, with roots in
Spain, is a certified Zumba instructor and a Spanish teacher.
