Description

Bei Salsa Cubana ist für alle etwas dabei: grossartige Musik, vielfältige Rhythmen und eine reichhaltige Geschichte und Kultur, welche euch durch die Songtexte vermittelt werden. Ihr braucht nur ein paar Grundschritte, um als Paar tanzen zu können. Danach könnt ihr jede der spielerischen, leicht drehenden Figuren erlernen, welche typisch für Salsa Cubana sind. Dieser Tanz öffnet euch die Tür zu verwandten kubanischen Tanzstilen wie dem Son, der Rumba oder dem Gruppentanz «Rueda de Casino». Salsa Cubana vermittelt das karibische Feeling, nachdem wir uns alle sehnen – also kommt, und tanzt mit uns!

Salsa 1:
Auf Kursstufe 1 werdet ihr in die Grundschritte und das Zählsystem der Salsa Cubana eingeführt. Ihr lernt, euch im offenen und geschlossenen Grundschritt als Paar zu bewegen. Zudem werden wir euch «dile que no» und «dile que si» zeigen, damit ihr elegant zwischen den Grundschritten wechseln könnt. Schliesslich werdet Ihr «enchufla» (Linksdrehung) und «enchufla para siempre» (mehrere Linksdrehungen) lernen.

Salsa Cubana has got it all: phenomenal music, diverse rhythm patterns and a rich historical and cultural background, which is brought to you throughout the lyrics. You only need some basic steps to start dancing as a couple and then learn any of the playful, slightly rotating figures, which are typical for Salsa Cubana. This dance opens the door to related Cuban dance styles like Son, Rumba or the group dance called “Rueda de Casino”. Salsa Cubana provides the Caribbean feeling we are all longing for - so come, and dance with us!

Salsa 1:
In course 1 you will be introduced to the basic steps and the counting system of Salsa Cubana. You will learn to move in open and closed basic as a couple. Furthermore, we will show you “dile que no” and “dile que si” to switch elegantly between the basic patterns. You will also learn to do “enchufla” (left turn) and “enchufla para siempre” (multiple left turns).

 

Salsa Cubana has it all: singing melodies, moving rhythms, and a rich history and culture reflected in the yarning lyrics. With some exercising you will learn playful, spinning, and complex knotted figures. These mastered, enjoy the Cuban way of dancing as a couple or show off with your friends in a neatly synchronized Rueda de Casino. And that isn’t it, Salsa Cubana prepares you for numerous other Latin American dances like Son Cubano, Merengue, Bolero, and many more!

¡Ven a bailar!

In the first course level, you will be introduced to the basic steps and the rhythm of Salsa Cubana. As a couple, you will learn to move in open and closed positions - either as a leader or a follower. We will also show you how to switch elegantly between the basic steps. You will learn the first turns and finally have an introduction to Rueda de Casino.

Tristan und Heidi sind ein tolles Team. Sie haben jede (auch noch so kleine) Frage beantwortet und waren immer gut drauf. Sie haben uns auch immer wieder ermutigt in die Bananenreiferei zu gehen, was zu tollen Abenden geführt hat.
