Description

In the second course level we will strengthen the understanding of the Salsa rhythm. We teach you how to start and end dancing, which is not as trivial as it may sound. 😉 

Further, you will learn basic figures such as Setenta and Sombrero.  

To enter Salsa 2, you should know:

  • Closed & open basic step

    Dile que sí & Dile que no

    Enchufla (Left turn for leaders and followers)

    Vuelta a la Derecha (Right turn for followers)

    Vacílala


If you are not (yet) familiar with the names, here is some help: https://youtu.be/_luRonfQ8Fw 

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.

Marla und Lukas haben einen tollen Salsa Cubana I Kurs gegeben nicht nur mit gutem Feedback und gutem Teaching, sondern auch mit Freude am Tanzen, die sie richtig gut weitergegeben haben. Ich kann einen Kurs bei Ihnen nur empfehlen.

Kai and Anaïse explained the material in a very engaging and fun way, while making sure the class had the time to focus on the fundamentals which were later on used to end in some wonderful Ruedas. Can only recommend!

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.

Great energy and vibe during the lessons! Always smiling Sophia and 'commander' Stafan make the learning process really fun.
