The DanceLoft
Introduces Thursday Salsa
Classes
Jehsel Lau, an accomplished
instructor from Sinaloa,
Mexico will joined the staff
this month as an instructor
of salsa. Her salsa classes
are
tailor-made for beginners
to provide a solid
foundation of the
technique and teach control
of movement by means of
dynamic exercises. The
classes will also help the
students to create their own
style and sequences
fallowing their musical
instincts. Partners are not
necessary! The class will
be held Thursdays, from
6-7:30 pm beginning this
week (Feb 21, 2008).
 Jehsel
began as instructor of
Dance at the "School for
Teachers of Artistic
Education" of the SepyC
(a Mexican Government
Education Agency), and
at the "School of Art
Jose Limón" in Sinaloa,
Mexico, where she also
studied Ballet and Jazz.
As a performer, she
received a scholarship
from the University "Tecnologico
de Monterrey", where she
took classes in salsa
with Hilda Rosas, a
Cuban professor of
Modern Dance and "Bailes
de Salon" (Salsa,
Merengue, etc.), and
where she performed in
several school
performances and musical
comedies. (more)

Schedule Updates:
Jazz/Theatre Dance, Tap,
Children's Hip Hop, Belly Dance
Beginning this
week we will offer a new
schedule in order to (hopefully)
better serve our students.
Jazz/Theatre Dance will be
moving to Wednesdays from
8:15-9:15 pm. Tap is cancelled
for now but we will offer short
term workshops in tap in the
future. Children's hip hop is
being moved to earlier in the
day: 11-11:45 for 4-6 year olds
and 11:45-12:45 for 7-12 year
olds. Because the "all level"
can either leave some students
behind or be too slow for
intermediate students, we begin
offering two classes: technique
(Wed. 4:30-5:30 pm - beginning
in March) and choreography
(Wed. 5:30-6:30 pm).

FeldenWhat? FREE
Awareness Through Movement(R) Classes
Beginning in March
This week
I am headed to San Diego
for the next segment of
my four year Feldenkrais(R)
Method training.
Feldenkrais is a somatic
method that harnesses
the nervous system to
achieve improved
structural alignment and
flexibility. I
discovered it several
years ago at a workshop
for dance teachers which
was focused
on training us on how to
teach injury-free
movement. After easily
releasing some long-term
injuries, I was sold on
the method and began my
own training to become a
practitioner. This Fall
I will be certified to
teach Awareness Through
Movement classes at the
DanceLoft and I am
looking forward to
helping dancers move out
of pain.
Beginning in March I
will be offering a
monthly FREE
Awareness Through
Movement class to
DanceLoft students
to help me practice my
teaching skills of the
method and to introduce
it to anyone who's
curious. It is
important to note that
while I've had a year
and a half of training,
I will not yet be
officially certified.
For local classes with
certified practitioners
or for more information
about the method, please
see the website
www.tucsonfeldenkrais.com.
The first
FREE class will be
held Thursday, March
27th, from 5-6 pm.
Please email me at
tammy@thedanceloft.com
and let me know if
you plan to attend.
