Gumbo is a tasty soup that our Louisiana Friends enjoy, that can be made with a little bit of everything.

To make a good Dance Gumbo we make a roux of Swing and Salsa, throw in some Ballroom and Zydeco, sprinkle with some Waltz and Country Western Two Step, and blend in some Cha Cha Cha and improv and you have a tasty treat for the feet.

 

 

Dance Gumbo

Every fourth Saturday of the Month. Triangle Dance Studio 2603 S. Miami Blvd, Durham 27703.

This month's Gumbo is going to be a new and exciting break. Yes, you know all the steps and counts, but lets use all your dance chops to improvise. Lots of international, blues, tango, ecstatic dance. I will do about 30% Classic Mix and the rest Improv, including blues, tango, international, soul.

Next Dance Gumbo February 25 -Dance Outside The Box Gumbo: Improv, Blues, Tango, Couples Dance Mix  Lesson 8 PM. Dance 8:45 ish.

Recipe for Classic Gumbo: The Minnestrone is about 35% Swing (mix of East Coast, West Coast, Lindy), about 20% Latin (Salsa, Cha Cha, Merengue, Cumbia, Bachata) and the rest Ballroom, Tango, Zydeco, Hustle, Waltz, Country Western Two Step, and Improv.

If we do a Themed Dance half of the dance will be the theme of that month. If we do a Classic Gumbo, then it is just the Classic mix. Kapish .
