 Spotlight on..
Nelson floresNelson Flores is one of salsa's greats. He's
one of New York's top instructors, choreographers and producers, and
Director of Descarga Latina Dance Company. Nelson's achievements are
many and include Director/Producer of off-Broadway musical comedy,
Latin Madness, Official Judge for the World Salsa Competition
sponsored by sports network giant ESPN, and Event Planner for the
New York New Jersey Salsa Congress 3 years running.
We're big fans of Nelson Flores, having attended many of his
workshops at home and in New York over many years now. His Shines
workshop is a must for all you On2 fanatics - in many ways Nelson
defines 'Shines On2'. It'll be packed with great footwork and have a
'workout' atmosphere, all taught with a great sense of humour and
fun. This class is booking up fast already - it's at the top of the
bookings list - so don't miss out on this one.
We'd also recommend Nelson's Latin Hustle class. Latin Hustle is
great fun and Nelson and his New York buddies are apparently
completely hooked on it. We hear they've taken the New York Latin
Hustle scene by storm! We think Latin Hustle could be the next big
dance craze over here, so why not give it a go.....
Nelson's workshops:
- Sat @ 11am | Int/Adv TP On2
- Sat @ 5.15pm | Masterclass TP On2
- Sun @ 9.45am | Intro to Latin Hustle
- Sun @ 4pm | Int/Adv Shines On2
