Dear Friend!
Since the early days of sharing meditations and energy healing seminars, I have frequently used dancing as an example of letting go of control and experiencing connection.
For years, many students have been asking me to teach them the essential basics of Salsa or Bachata, and now the time has finally come.
This is going to be my first open dancing event, and I wanted to make it extraordinary for you.
I'm sharing a special and intense day of outstanding workshops with three other teacher friends who have been a reference and inspiration to me, and I've also been learning from them.
We'll be focusing on connections, energy, musicality, basics, and essentials of Bachata, Salsa (Zen Fusion), and Kizomba, offering an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of all three dances.
Additionally, there'll be a social dancing session at the end for you to enjoy, practice what you learned throughout the day, and seize the opportunity to dance with the teachers.
We'd love to share with you!
On behalf of the other teachers, Pablo Martín and Oscar & Raquel,
José Antonio Manchado
