Salsa & Bachata Xtreme - the new style!

This you can learn at SambaCats!




Theme: Salsa & Chachacha

Salsa and Chachacha, with Ian Onvlee
Chacha is one of the nicest dances, apart from Salsa. It is very easy to intergrate the chachacha in Salsa, but it takes some exersize to get it stable. The chachacha is very joyous and fits salsa muziek that is a little too boring for the usuaql salsa steps. At salsa parties chacha music is regularly played. During four lessons Ian will explore with you how to dance on it.

Bachata with Ian Onvlee



Ian teaches you the Bachata as it is danced today at Salsa-parties. It is not a difficult dance but very nice and relaxed.

Time: every Tuesday 21.00 hours.
Location: Heldenhoek, Elandstraat 88, The Hague.


The new sexy partner dance style Xtreme

Salsa and Bachata have currently moved on to the next new level of dancing, named after the Bachata band Xtreme and the dancing style which developed with their music. The new style involves a mix of Salsa and Bachata with various new sexy elements, taken from dancing styles like showdance, samba, lambada, zouk, tango, dirty dancing, gafiera, chachacha, hiphop, gogo-dance, bellydance and even rock&roll. There is no real limit to the number of possible variations, much of which depends on personal creativity, abilities and preferences. We can dance it open or close, romantically or sexy, or groovy, with jokes or acrobatics, depending on one's personal taste or mood. It can be danced on virtually any music, although the Salsa and Bachata music remains the formal choice.

Ian Onvlee decided to take the first step to renew the salsa and bachata scene and carefully selected the most prominent basic moves of this new dancing style which has currently enamoured many dancers, both beginners and advanced all over the world, due to the influence of YouTube dance videos. The selected steps and moves involved in Ian's classes are of such a level that anyone can learn them easily and bring them into practise on the dance floor without requiring backbreaking suppleness or heavy musclework.

Salsa Xtreme Den Haag!

It has taken Ian a while to find the right opportunity and the most appropriate set of technics to put forward in a responsible and educative way, but currently our dancers are making fast progress to everyones satisfaction, and the number of eager students in this new dancing style is vastly growing. This has been really inspiring, and Ian invites everyone to join our classes and teams. If you're new in all this, then the best start is the general beginners class, which will give you the basic tools needed for both normal and Xtreme Salsa and Bachata dancing. For some examples of the new style, watch the video above.

Het begon in Miami!

"Hai, ik ben Eliza. Ik ben bij toeval in aanraking gekomen met een hele nieuwe dansvorm, genaamd Zumba. Het is opgezet door Alberto 'Beto' Perez, een danser en choreograaf uit Miami. Ik ben zo enthousiast geworden over Zumba, dat ik meteen de nodige opleiding hiervoor ben gaan volgen. Nu hoop ik dat jullie allemaal met me komen meedansen en plezier maken, want ik heb er heel veel zin in. Ik ga vanaf 1 mei 2009 beginnen op vrijdag avond van 20.00 tot 21.30 uur in 't Syndicaat, Nieuwe Molstraat 10 in Den Haag."


Door middel van Zumba verbrand je tot 1000 calorieën per uur, de resultaten uit Amerika zijn fantastisch! Zumba wordt inmiddels in meer dan 30 landen gegeven en Nederland zal ongetwijfeld binnenkort ook bezeten raken van deze geweldige training!

Wil je ook een fantastisch, mooi strak lichaam, maar heb je geen zin om iedere dag op saaie fitnessapparaten te moeten trainen, dan is Zumba iets voor jou.

Het is fun, het is anders, het is makkelijk en super effectief, het is Zumba!

Meer over Zumba!

Zumba is momenteel het snelst groeiende fitnessprogramma wereldwijd! "Zumba" betekent letterlijk "snel bewegen en lol hebben", een omschrijving die perfect beschrijft waar deze training voor staat! Zumba combineert de meest effectieve oefeningen met de exotische ritmes van Latijns-Amerikaanse muzieksoorten als Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Samba, Calypso, Reggaeton en Hiphop. De opzwepende muziek en de leuke bewegingen zorgen ervoor dat je niet eens door hebt dat je bezig bent met een geweldige training! Je hoeft niet te kunnen dansen om mee te kunnen doen met Zumba.

Zumba doet niet aan moeilijke choreografieën en je hebt geen danspartner nodig. Iedereen, jong of oud, kan meteen deelnemen. Niets moet en alles mag bij Zumba! De vrijheid van bewegen, de dynamiek en de gezellige zomerse muziek zorgen voor een leuke workout. Zumba is een plezierige workout voor iedereen, door de opzwepende mix van muziek, aerobics en latin-danspassen

It started in Miami!

"Hi, I'm Eliza. By coincidence I came accross a whole new dance form, called Zumba. It has been set up by Alberto 'Beto' Perez, a dancer and choreographer from Miami. I have become so enthousiastic about Zumba, that I immediately took the necessary education for this. Now I hope that you all will come and dance with me, to have some fun together. I will start from 1 May on Friday evening from 20.00 to 21.30 hours in 't Syndicaat, Nieuwe Molstraat 10 in The Hague."


Through Zumba you burn up till a 1000 calories per hour, the results from Amerika are phantastic! Zumba is now given in more than 30 countries and the Netherlands is also bound to become crazy about this wonderful training!

Do you also want to have a phantastic, beautiful tight body, but you don't want to have to do boring exercizes on fitnessdevices every day, then Zumba is something for you.

It is fun, it is different, it is easy and super effective, it is Zumba!

More about Zumba!

Zumba is momentarily the fastest growing fitnessprogram worldwide! "Zumba" literally means "moving fast and havig fun", a description that perfectly describes what this training stands for! Zumba combines the most effective exercizes with the exotic rithms of Latin-American music genres like Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Samba, Calypso, Reggaeton and Hiphop. The De energizing music and the nice moves make sure that you don't even notice that you are busy with a great training! You don't have to be able to dance to join Zumba.

The Originator of the Counter Energy Technique

Kwok Wan is the originator of the Counter Energy Technique, which focuses on creating a clear awareness of the center point of gravity during partnering.

With a vast background in martial arts, he started dancing lambada zouk in 2001 with Claudio Gomez, the originator of Zouk Love. With the knowledge and principles used in Kung Fu, he found a way to translate this connection into partner dance. In order to further develop his technique, he studied various theatre dance forms at the Jazz department in the Theatre school of Amsterdam.

Kwok Wan has now created a new dance course that gives the lambada zouk dancers but also the Salsa and Bachata and other dancers all the tools they need to get from "good to great".

The master classes are divided into four subjects suitable for intermediate and advanced level.

How to get from "good" to "great"

Learn the secrets of professional dance techniques used by professional theatre dancers. This will be taught during the master classes of this seminar.

These master classes consist of unique and special designed games and exercises for the lambada zouk dancers with elements that create huge involvement of the students which automatically leads to better understanding and lots of fun and laughter.

The master classes are divided into the following four subjects suitable for intermediate and advanced level.

 

- From Good2Great Partnering techniques & improvisation
- From Good2Great Musicality & improvisation
- From Good2Great Dance-Techniques
- From Good2Great Theatre and Show techniques
