Salsa dance lessons to learn to ride better?!? WHAT!!!!??? REALLY????
Now that winter is approaching and everyone is trying to figure out how to stay fit and improve their riding, here is a unique and fun opportunity!
Yes there is a back story...
First, for those that don't know... I grew up in Venezuela where social dancing at night clubs was Salsa and Merengue. I also grew up riding horses and have always felt that riding was almost exactly like dancing with a partner.... it is all about timing, rhythm, communication, connection, feel... sound familiar???
I have spent the last year working with some amazing dancers focusing on a dance curriculum appropriate for the average adult rider that emphasizes the most important parts... relaxation, rythm, use of independent body parts and promotes the elusive " elastic connection".
So... who wants to stay fit, work on the most important riding basics and have fun? Besides... who doesn't want to learn how to Salsa!!!??
