Welcome Campers!
Mark your Calendar for The Second Annual Stiletto: September 2012
Enjoy classes with the Best Female and Male Instructors on the East Coast followed by
the Stiletto Co-ed Mixer party
Stiletto is a Latin dance retreat, originally developed for Women, in the mountains of Asheville NC, formed around the ideals of Mentorship and collaborative learning. We are including a Men’s Intensive on Saturday and Sunday and adding the element of Lead/Follow technique this year. Our Instructors are chosen because they are leaders in their communities and are setting examples on how to work together to create supportive and lasting careers in the Arts. Immerse in Intensive dance training, connect with your peers and mentors, and enjoy an Epic party at the end to apply what you have learned in classes!! This event will have classes for all levels, whether you have never taken a Salsa class before, or even if you are already semi- professional and want to study in-depth topics. If Salsa is new to you, start with our Beginners Bootcamp on Thursday. The facility and lodging, Camp Merrimac, will help you relax with stunning mountain and lakeside views…Located just 20 minutes from Asheville, in Black Mountain, the camp is 5 minutes driving to whatever you need in town, but far enough away to feel like a mountain getaway!
