Apply for the LEC Mentor Program
12 Week Program - Commencing January 19, 2022
What it is.
12 Week Intensive
We’re looking for a select number of Men & Women who want to take the challenge of rapidly improving their dancing, strength, flexibility and fitness in the LEC 12 week intensive mentor program led by Australia’s best, Carlos Veron & Elysia Baker (Australian Professional Salsa Champions).
Open to any Salsa dancer from intermediate level, or someone furiously keen to learn quickly! You do not need to be a current LEC student.
This program is only for those dancers who are dedicated, accountable, willing to be pushed to see results and most importantly, possess a positive attitude.
Dance & Salsa Technique
The LEC brand and Carlos & Elysia’s dance style is built on a solid dance technique foundation. Between them they have trained for years in Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Tango, & more.
We are huge advocates for the importance of dance styles such as ballet, which has proven results in giving Salsa dancers excellent dance technique to support all the strength required in our Salsa turns, lines, fluidity, power, frame & carriage.
This intensive will have a Salsa focus (footwork & partnerwork) with other dance technique methods of training built into our classes.
This is not a performance team.
Fitness, Strength & Flexibility
During the 12 weeks we will be working on fitness, strength and flexibility through a variety of exercises in class and extra homework required in your own time.
You will have a set list of requirements each week that you would be expected to meet.
The fitter, stronger & more flexible we are the better dancer we can be.
Expectations
Mentor Training Class with Carlos & Elysia Wednesday’s 8.00pm - 9.30pm (1.5hr) Commencing January 19, 2022. (12 Week Program).
The mentor class, plus a minimum of three extra LEC technique classes a week (the more the better!)

Completion

You will be feeling more confident, connected and fluid in your Salsa technique and your fitness and flexibility will have also improved.
