FAQ
Who is the intended audience for this event?
If you're interested in learning Mambo, a style under the Salsa dance umbrella, or developing your skills as a social dancer, then the Mambo Fundamentals and Fusion Workshop with Moises & Lianabel is for you!
Mambo can be either smooth and groovy or sharp and high energy. In this workshop we will focus on teaching the fundamentals and some fun ways to use them to spice up your Salsa partner dancing. The workshop is open level, meaning it is geared toward beginner dancers who are just getting started in the Latin dance world, as well as intermediate dancers who are looking to level-up their technique and skills.
Learning to dance can be scary! I know - I've been there! This class will be focused on creating an immersive learning experience in a fun, relaxed environment with zero judgment. No partner required! Just bring your passion and desire to learn! And most of all, HAVE FUN!

Where do I park?
Free parking is available on site in the designated areas, so please register your vehicle by scanning the QR code once inside the venue.
What should I wear?
Please ensure you bring clean indoor shoes so that we do not damage the studio's beautiful hardwood floor.
We recommend wearing comfortable flats with a non-sticky sole that you can dance in for multiple hours (Jazz Shoes, Toms, Fuego sneakers and Taygra dance sneakers are all great options).
Workout outfits are typically what people wear to these types of events, but other outfits may be appropriate as long as they are comfortable enough to dance in (not too tight, not too short, not too warm, allows you to move your arms, hips, torso, and rest of the body easily, not a tripping hazard, etc.).
What should I bring for food?
Light snacks and drinks will be provided, but definitely bring whatever you may like to consume during the breaks. Let us know in advance if you have any allergies.
The venue has a cafe on site that is open from 10 am to 8 pm. For more information on their menu, see: https://www.dirtbagcafe.ca
Do I need to bring a partner?
The workshops will focus on solo footwork and body movement foundational training. You will not need a partner for the workshops.
What if I have more questions?
If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out via Eventbrite prior to the event start time.
