Description

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!

Trailer for the Rueda de Casino: https://youtu.be/QjRihNwv-r8

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.

Really fun course. 100% recommend. I had never had any dance course before and it was quiet easy to follow. I was actually pleasantly surprised 😁

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.

Better organised than other times. Figures had more structure, were presented together and how they can be combined. Very good job Lena & Robin

Robin and Lena give a great class, not just with interesting figures and lots of help to get them right, but also an energy that just makes it really fun to take the class.
09. April 2024, 10:51 Salsa Ladystyle with Robin RenggliRoom: Hönggerberg, HXE
This was an amazing way to find ways to not only improvise but also feel more comfortable when improvising taught with lots of love to details by Robin. I would definitely sign up if you see her teaching the course!
07. April 2024, 22:37 Salsa Ladystyle with Robin RenggliRoom: Hönggerberg, HXE
Very useful if you want to learn more pasitos and choreo parts to implement into your dance. It was fun and insightful to also take some time to focus on isolations and details that do not get enough attention during the regular classes.
12. June 2023, 20:30 Salsa Cubana 6 with Ilya Vasilenko & Robin RenggliRoom: Hönggerberg, Raum der Stille
A wonderful course with an incredibly funny atmosphere by Robin and Ylia. I liked the figures and the Rueda de Casino parts, the lead changes, the styling options and the energy! :D
