SESSION 1: INTRODUCTORY LA SALSA WHEN: MONDAY (February 3rd—March 2nd) - 7:00—8:00 pm WHERE: SA 245 (Second Floor) – Science A Building, U of C Campus ***NOTE: NO Class during Reading Week (February 17, 2020 and February 19th, 2020) WHAT IS LOS ANGELES (LA) STYLE SALSA? The Los Angeles Salsa Style (LA style) is danced strictly on 1, in a slot line, using elements of various North American and stage dances. This helps prevent dancers from hitting other couples on a crowded dance floor. It is strongly influenced by the Latin Hustle, Swing, Argentine Tango, Mambo dancers from Mexico and Latin Ballroom dancing styles. LA style places strong emphasis on sensuousness, theatricality and acrobatics. The lifts, stunts and aerial works of today's salsa shows are derived mostly from LA style forms with origins in Latin Ballroom and Ballet lifts. Rogelio Moreno, Francisco and Luis Vazquez are credited for the early development and growth of LA Style as well as Albert Torres, Laura Canellias and Joe Cassiniare. Later dancers such as Edie Lewis, Joby Martinez, Josie Neglia, and Johnny Vazquez are often credited with developing the LA style of dancing as we know it today.
