NY Flavor FOOTWORK

NY Flavor SOLO training team is a BRAN NEW training team in HSA which is recommended for absolutely everyone from the Beginner to Advanced training team student! NY Falor training team consists of 3 differet styled of dancing: Cha-Cha-Cha, Boogaloo and Pachanga!

Boogaloo is often danced to ChaCha rhythm (but can be also to danced to other rhythms). The music and then later the dance became hugely popular in the 1960’s in US and it originated in New York city mainly among teenage Hispanic/Latino and it is characterised by this kind of “funky” street groove and attitude.

It was born in the streets of New York as there was a mixing of Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and African Americans among others in the clubs. Bands tried to find a common musical ground. Boogaloo was the result of this search mixing many different styles like son montuno, guaguanco, guajira, huarache, mambo, and American R&B and soul.

The Cha-Cha-Cha is a dance of Cuban origin.The basic footwork pattern of cha-cha-cha is also found in several Afro-Cuban dances from the Santeria religion. These Afro-Cuban dances predate the development of cha-cha-cha, and were known by many Cubans in the 1950s, especially those of African origin. Thus, the footwork of the cha-cha-cha was likely inspired by these Afro-Cuban dances. During the training team you will be focusing on the fusion style of the Cha-Cha-Cha.

Pachanga is a genre of music which is described as a mixture of son montuno and merengue and has an accompanying signature style of dance. This type of music has a festive, lively style and is marked by jocular, mischievous lyrics. Pachanga originated in Cuba in the 1950s and played an important role in the evolution of Carribien style music as it is today. Considered a prominent contributor to the eventual rise of salsa, Pachanga itself is an offshoot of Charanga style music.
