What are Mambolifestyle and Salsalifestyle? 
Mambolifestyle (ML) and Salsalifestyle (SL) are Dance Training Systems, specifically developed for salsa and mambo dancers by salsa champion and award winner Irene Miguel and her dance partner Edgard del Rosario a former Eddie Torres dancer. Based on Irene Miguel's extensive experience as a world-class dance instructor, performer, choregrapher and musician, Mambolifestyle (taught on2) and Salsalifestyle (taught on1) are tried and tested dance training systems. Over the past five years, the technique has benefited students in New York, Miami and in Argentina. Now based in London, Irene Miguel and her breakthrough salsa/mambo dance training system is available right on your doorstep at comfortable, fully mirrored dance studios in central London, a few minutes walk from London Bridge station and Borough tube. Mambolifestyle and Salsalifestyle are comprehensive, integrated dance training systems, geared to helping students fulfill their individual potential as dancers. Based on short and longer term courses, running from 4 weeks to 3 months at a time, the ML/SL method is entirely unique in the mambo/salsa world. Within the ML/SL system, all lessons, courses and levels are designed as developmental stepping stones. This means plenty of opportunity for practice, repetition and consistent instruction, allowing students to progress rapidly at their own pace and in keeping with their own individual needs, requirements and styles. The dance training system is split into different activities: LEAP, Freedom, Tornado, Jam and Union, these activities are explained below. L.E.A.P. (Lifestyle Enhancement Achievement Programme): Develops core stability for strength from within, body awareness, breathing technique, good postural alignment, tension-free movement and concentration. The LEAP programme draws on Pilates and Ashtanga yoga to develop physical fitness and psychological health. It produces a strong, toned, lean and flexible body, so that you look good, feel good and are better able to manage stress. LEAP helps you to change your attitude to life’s problems. In our courses you will learn full L.E.A.P routines specially designed for dancers, that you can also do at home. Freedom: A styling programme designed to enable you to express your individuality, personality and identity through your dancing. It gives you the freedom to be yourself both on the dancefloor and in your daily life. Freedom is a set of tools and techniques that enable the dancer to style any given step or partner work routine, as well as create new ones. In our courses you will learn to fully control and free your body through body isolations practiced to different rhythms and salsa instruments such as the congas, clave, timbales, bongos, trumpets, bass, piano, etc. You will also develop the necessary technique to perform all the different types of shines there are through a series of drills, which are also practiced to the instruments, so that you develop the ability to improvise with the music. Tornado: A spinning programme to develop balance, speed, focus and reaction time. It allows you to spin both on your own and with a partner - from single spin to multiple spins! The skills learned in this programme teach you adaptability that can be applied throughout your life. In our courses you will learn a series of exercises that will develop your balance, speed, reaction time and focus which would allow you to do as many spins as you wish on your own and with a partner. You will also learn the full partner work footwork syllabus and the techniques to perform them accurately and tension-free. Jam: A ‘shines’ or dance steps programme that focuses on expressing yourself to the music. It builds up your improvisational skills to give you the ability to convey your true self on the dance floor and in all other activities. In our courses you will learn the full Mambolifestyle/Salsalifestyle Shines Syllabus as well as different Mambolifestyle/Salsalifestyle techniques, which will teach you how to transform and create any shine. Union: A partner dancing programme developing both leading and following techniques and the harmony between dancers – this in turn helps you to improve all of your every day relationships and increases mutual understanding and dialouge skills.
In our
courses you will learn the full Mambolifestyle/Salsalifestyle Union
syllabus - the ABC of salsa/ mambo partner dancing - as well as how to
create your own turn patterns. |
