Ask and you shall receive... The BAILA Society Performance Class is back! Our new cycle will begin on July 31st. Spots in this class go quickly so don't delay. Registration instructions can be found below.

BASo students and online members intermediate level or higher will learn an original BASo choreography, train it with BASo's repertory dancers and will perform it at a student recital at the end of this 8-10 week cycle.

Theory: ...You will learn how to find and listen to performance songs, how a choreography is created and structured and how to create musicality in movement.

Training: You will train just like the BASo repertory dancers, including body conditioning, stretching, spinning, partnerwork, styling and footwork, along with performance techniques.

Technology: The BASo online platform will have all videos of the choreography with music and counts, as well as video instruction for each individual piece of the routine (so that even if you miss a class you can catch up easily).

Recite: You will perform the choreography during a student recital at the end of the performance cycle.

In between shows, workshops and social dancing, we went to Rodeo Drive, had dinner in Beverly Hills, did some shopping, spent a day at Venice beach, worked out at Muscle beach and much much more... stay tuned for more pictures and videos]]>2010 Immigrant Week Celebration in Union Squarehttp://www.bailasociety.com/journal/2010/4/1/2010-immigrant-week-celebration-in-union-square.htmlJoseph2010-04-01T17:48:57Z

BASo Alto: Pa'l 23

5th BASo Student Performance Class showcasing "More":

Date: Saturday, January 23, 2010
Time: 6:30pm - 10:00pm, $10
Location: Peridance Capezio Dance Center
Address: 126 E13th Street (between 3rd and 4th Ave) near Union Square

Join us for our first recital and social of 2010 in our new home, the Peridance Capezio Center - Showcase starts promptly at 7pm, with performances by:

- BAILA Society Performance Class Students 

- BASo Alto, New Choreography

- Paradizo Dance, Dave & Zoe

then it's: dance, dance, dance.

The BAILA Society performance classes have become a journey in itself for us, our dancers and our family of students and friends.

For eight weeks+, intermediate students get to experience a "BASo light" training of our methods and drills, all centered around a unique, new and original choreography that represents the foundation of our methodology, but at the same time incorporates the repertory dancers' creativity.

Our performance class is the only one of its kind to be featured in the evening performance showcase at the NY Salsa Congress 2010.

It's an emotional and physical journey for us and our students and has resulted in wonderful friendships and priceless moments over our past cycles.

Every cycle and group has raised the performance bar and we are very proud of everything they are achieving. We will share with you the most memorable moments at the recital.

BAILA Society is very proud to announce its 5th Performance Class Recital and Salsa Social, the first one of 2010, on Saturday, January 23.

Come out to see what BASo is about, laugh, dance and spend time with us and join the global community (and sign up for the next class at the event before it is closed).
