Introducing SHINES BUNDLES – A NEW TEACHING METHODOLOGY / CONCEPT to Teach & Learn SALSA SHINES & FOOTWORK.

Wait No More and learn an amazingly effective method of learning SALSA SHINES & FOOTWORK so that you can remember, recall & recreate all the SHINES that you learn when you hit the Salsa Social Dancing floor.

What do we mean by Shines & Footwork? Why do we need these? What are the benefits, advantages and takeaways from Shines/Footwork?

Solo Dancing or Shines & Footwork, are well-worth learning & is helpful for many reasons in Partner dance styles. ‘Shines‘ are usually referred to patterns, steps & footwork beyond just the basic steps. ‘Footwork‘ is generally means any kind of Footwork including basic steps & Shines. Learning basics is one thing, but footwork & shines, surprisingly is an extremely important factor in learning partner-work & improving your whole self dance in general. This applies to all partner dance styles, including Salsa, Mambo, Cha Cha, Bachata & yes even Kizomba.

Advantages:Dancers who spend allot of time on shines or footwork have quite a few advantages; they can have a more fun with social dancing because they have more tools in their tool kit. They can break away from their dance partner and freestyle with shines they have learnt and even create new ones of the fly. This allows them to express in ways that many don’t. It you are confident enough to dance without the rules of partner work, allow your partner to express themselves in new ways, and generally increase the variety in your movements. Their body-movement is better, they can turn quicker when executing turn patterns that required them to turn, ‘male or female’. They look better because of their own personal style, fluidity of movement, body movement, styling, musical interpretation and their technique, timing and speed. While social dancing it also adds more variety to the dance and there are sections in the music that can require solo dancing.

Benefits from Shines & Footwork:Timing, Musicality, Control, Expression, Foot speed, Weight shifting & Transfer, Foot placement, Styling, Flavor, Fluidity, Posture, Mastering basic steps, Body position & angles, Acceleration & deceleration, Directions Changes, Sharp vs Smooth movements, Move more easily, Body Movement, Muscle memory, Grounding & Floor Pressure, Solo dance technique, Turns, Pivots & Spins, Balance, Confidence, Learning Routines Faster and…..Finally having fun!

Most of these benefits above, you can’t learn from partner-work alone and only benefit your dancing a whole.

You do need a good chunk of above such as body movement, speed, styling, flavor, Fluidity, etc. Once you make these building blocks muscle memory, through practice and repetition, your dancing will grow massively to the point you can express in a way that relates to the music, known as musicality.

Unfortunately, a lot of beginners & unexperienced dancers, or not well trained ones, tend to dismiss shines and think that they are a waste of time. They will never be used and should be for performing only! They also may believe that learning partner-work should be the main focus of on learning to dance. This just shows a lack of understanding of these dance styles. You actually need both!

So in a nutshell, if you want to be a great partner-work dancer or even a well balanced dancer, you really do need shines & footwork!

Now, Once you have read the above details about SALSA SHINES & FOOTWORK, Do you wish to learn these the right way, in extremely detailed manner, step by step?
