Lady Styling LAB
Salsa • Bachata • Movement • Expression
Ladies, it’s time to work on YOU.
A focused 90 minute session with Eleanna exploring individual dancing, movement quality, musicality, expression and styling that can become a natural part of your partnerwork.
LAB sessions are focused training spaces for dancers who want to understand a specific part of their dancing more deeply. Rather than trying to cover everything at once, each LAB takes one subject and gives it the time, attention and technical detail it deserves.
Focused
Each session has a clear subject, from styling and body movement to musicality, connection, technique and specific dance styles.
Technical
The goal is not to collect more moves. It is to understand how and why movement works so you can use it with more control and intention.
Practical
Everything comes back to your dancing: how you move, connect, express the music and make better choices in real partnerwork.
Lady Styling LAB
Salsa • Bachata • Movement • Expression
After a little break from our lady styling sessions, Eleanna is bringing you back into a dedicated space where you can explore your individual dancing, build confidence in your movement and discover how styling can become a natural part of your partnerwork.
This is not just about learning a routine or adding a few pretty movements. It is about understanding your body, refining your technique, developing your musicality and finding more of your own expression as a dancer.
Technique you can actually use in your dancing.
We will work through Salsa and Bachata separately, giving each style the time to explore the movement, understand the technique and then apply it with intention.

For ladies who already dance Salsa and Bachata.
You might be strengthening your foundations, refining your technique, working on musicality or looking for more individuality and expression in your dancing. There is something here to explore at different points in that journey.
This is not about trying to dance like someone else. It is about understanding the movement well enough to make it yours.
Learn it. Refine it. Use it.
Understand the movement, then make it yours.
Eleanna
Eleanna approaches styling as part of your dancing, not as decoration added on top. The focus is on understanding how the body moves, developing control and learning how styling can work naturally with the music and with partnerwork.
In this LAB she will break the movement down, help you refine the details and give you ways to practise them so you can build more confidence, individuality and expression in both Salsa and Bachata.
