Salsa

Course with Francesco Batti

Building on the M, more complex figures are learned in the F course, which can later be freely combined. The focus is on figure elements, tricks and styling such as throwing the arms and fundamental solo steps, which are implemented in pairs. The aim of this course is to strengthen your own body awareness, switch off your own head and completely surrender to the music through dance.

Registration only possible in pairs. The course fee shown is per person.

Francesco Batti

When Francesco Battigaglia wound up in a Salsa club in Miami completely by chance during a holiday, he was hooked. The colourful mixture of people he encountered, the effortlessness on display as well as the music sparked a Salsa fire in him. Originally a primary school and languages teacher, he gave up his vocation to completely dedicate his future life to dance and “would do so again in a heartbeat.” During an era when Latin-American dance was barely established in Germany, Francesco set about acquainting himself with the various local facets of Salsa on-site in New York, Puerto Rico and Cuba. As the first instructor in North Rhine-Westphalia, he also offers Salsa lady styling.
