This past Tuesday, members and friends of Dance Hawaii were treated to a two hour free lessons in the Hustle taught by Professional Dance Teacher George and wife Roscel Garcia from New York. Thanks to Maurice Morita, Prez of Dance Hawaii who organized this dance session. There were about 24 interested students of dance that attended the basic to some intermediate patterns of this fun dance. This George Garcia, although with the same name, is not the same George Garcia that teaches Argentine Tango. George's home base is at the Big Apple and has a very impressive bio and credentials for teaching Ballroom and Latin dancing. Known as one of the friendliest social dancers, George dances with a smile on his face and enjoys dancing with dancers of all level. (Go to his Website at www.georgegarciadance.com to learn more of this excellent teacher of dance.) You'll find that Roscel is just as friendly, too. Just before closing, all the students were dancing the Hustle with music.
Tonight (Wednesday), George and Roscel reviewed the Hustle with last night's students who came early to Aliamanu Middle School cafeteria. As they did last night, George and Roscel covered the very basics of Salsa dancing then went into the some of the intricate patterns that makes Salsa a colorful and exciting dance. It was two hours of fun learning this dance and with the method that George and Roscel teaches, it was easy to learn and dance it with music. Tonight, there were about 30 students who may have learned Salsa for the first time step by step the easy way and from tonight's lessons, many of them will be able to burn the floor with Hot Salsa thanks to the patience and teachings of George and Roscel Garcia.
