Timing & Footwork + Posture

PHASE 1 — Foundation & Connection (Weeks 1–3)

Goal: a dancer who stays on time, stands tall, connects, and can lead/follow a few moves cleanly. Vocabulary is deliberately small.

The home base. Nothing fancy — stand tall, transfer your weight, find the beat.

This week

The fundamental: Timing & Footwork + Posture(Posture, Sync)

Salsa: Basic Step, Side Basic, Back Basic, Guapea (Cuban Basic)
Bachata: Side-to-Side Basic, Tap / Pop Basic (4 & 8), Forward-and-Back Basic
Improv: stay on time switching between the basics for a full song.
Musicality: clap the beat first, then step it. Salsa — find your 1 (or your 2). Bachata — feel the 1-2-3-tap.

Comfort starts here too — consent and floor etiquette, the floor's ground rule.

Week 1 of 12 on the path.
