Material covered in the Beginner workshop ran by Johnny & Serap included -
basic forward and back
basic back to back
basic side to side (straight back and opening up)
side to side to side and tap
basic in place (and tap)
rotational turns together during basic (during 1,2,3 or 5,6,7)
follower's pivot turn from open and closed hold
leader's pivot turn with low connection and hand switch
leader's pivot turn with L-R high
cross body lead
The workshop ran 3 hours 50 minutes or 50 minutes longer than scheduled (from 2 PM to 5:50 PM) yet not all the material that Johnny & Serap wanted to teach was covered. Several people were recruited to help with the class as there were many more women who subscribed for the class compared to men. These ringers had been gathered during Friday evening at Club Salsa. I mostly watched and made occasional suggestions during the first half and was more involved in the second half. I also used this as an opportunity to familiarize myself with the sound system at Club Salsa. Johnny, Serap and the helpers (all men) stopped by at Sauce afterwards for a drink.
