5th Annual Boston Salsa Congress™
Schedule of Events
(subject to change; last updated July 5, 2005)
Note on workshop levels: workshop sessions on Saturday and Sunday have three workshops offered in each time slot with the following levels: advanced beginner, intermediate, and masters/advanced. "Advanced beginner" presumes a moderate understanding of the basic steps, left and right turns, and cross body lead; classes will be fairly slow-paced and includes more attention to fundamental dance skills. Intermediate level asumes mastery of the above and are faster paced. Classes are "on 1" or "on 2" as noted, but many instructors will teach the class "on both".
