MONDAYS @ 7PM
The Shines syllabus is the most developed program we have to date! It's been specifically designed with an area of focus each month. This is to ensure you get the repetitions you need to experience real improvements in your body movement, musicality, control, and to learn the key movements patterns that add flavour in salsa like: Rumba, Pachanga, Son and more.
This syllabus repeats every 6 months; you can start whenever you like, but it is advised to start at the beginning of the month rather than mid-way through just so you don't miss all the fundamental understanding.
