 1-2-1 Classes in Salsa and Structural Integration
with Kerry Ribchester

Having taken time out to look after my young son, I’m now back giving 1-2-1 tuition in a very special format - Salsa and structural integration together. 

If you have the moves and steps, and are ready to enliven your body movement, posture and to really invest in your style, then why not have a 1-2-1 session with me?  

I’m interested in improving the quality of how you feel dancing and how you feel in your body movement with your partner. For example if your posture is not aligned, no matter how well you dance, you won’t look good! You may have a fantastic rhythm, but if you are unable to connect from your core to your partner's core movement, all the subtleties of your style will not be communicated.

My specialised 1-2-1 session looks at what’s working for you, what’s not, and how it can be improved through movement training, hands on bodywork and NLP coaching.

Designed to boost your confidence, put you in the core of your body and achieve your full dance potential.

Individual Sessions last 1½ hours:  £85  
Couple Sessions include two 1½ hour individual coaching/treatment (3hrs), then 1 extra hour dancing together £120 each for 4 hours
Salsa 1-2-1 £70   

On-line payment available shortly.

 

 

(Especially good for men who have the steps and now really want to move with more style and for women who want to ooze fluidity, grace and confidence!)

Kerry Ribchester’s Juicy Cuban Body Movement Master Classes

Kerry Ribchester - one of the UK’s leading experts on Cuban style Salsa - led a four hour master class on Cuban body movement at the Chisenhale Dance Space, Chisenhale Road, Bow E3 this Sunday (3rd February).

Just back from Cuba, inspiration and passion pouring out of her and on a one woman mission to put the fun back into salsa, this workshop was designed to reach the bits other salsa classes don’t even know exist. The result - curvaceous and sassy salsa for the gals and loose-limbed machismo for the guys.
 

The only hurdle is finding the venue in the back of beyond in London’s East End. Apparently, when asked, even locals had no idea where the studio was.
