Description

Like the name suggests, has Salsa Cubana its origin in Cuba. There it formed from a combination of Son, Cha-Cha-Cha and Rumba and became the dance of the less wealthy population.

Today in Switzerland you can find Salsa parties all over the place, including Salsa Cubana. In this course we will not only teach you how to do figures, but also what the music is composed of, how you move your whole body to the rhythm and most importantly, how to enjoy the whole combination. Next to the dance, we will also try to teach you the relaxed atmosphere of cuba so that you'll be ready at all times to dance and enjoy.

The course builds on what we looked at in our Salsa Cubana 1 course: Basico, Enchoufla, Setenta and Dile que No.

Welcome to our course in Salsa Cubana! Agua!

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 have to know the following patterns in couple:

  • Guapea (open basic step)

  • Dile que no

  • Enchufla (Left turn for leaders and followers)

  • Enchufla con dile que no

  • Vuelta a la Derecha (Right turn for followers)

  • Vacílala

  • Enchufla para siempre


And additionally the following patterns in Rueda: Dame, Enchufla, Vacilala, Coge fly, Coge línea, Coge rolling, fly pa'rriba, fly pa'bajo, Rojo > Verde

Fabian & Julia had very clear explanations of the moves, and the course was very fun. There was often an optional rueda at the end of the class, which was a highlight.

Starting from scratch, it left me eager to learn constantly more dancing moves. Big-ups tq!

Teachers taught us not only interesting moves, but also stylings and hints for the music understanding. They gave us enough assistance and freedom to try on our own. Really social and open! The best of the best.

It. Was. Amazing. <3

I loved this course and Fabian and Julia as instructors!! Very fun new figures, lots of practice to remember the steps, positive environment and good vibes. And really fun ruedas! 10/10 recommend
04. June 2025, 14:01 Teachers: Lukas Vögeli & Marla Kohli, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
Marla and Lukas were great teachers, can only recommend taking a course with them. Whenever someone had a question their input was very helpful. Also they taught the course with so much joy and enthusiasm that the course was always a nice way to spend your Monday evening.

With Salsa Cubana 2 you can finally start to do more long and complex figures, putting together the simpler moves learned in the previous class. By going to the Latino Open Dancing the improvement is quick and fun. I would absolutely recommend taking Salsa 1 before this class to get the basics right, as Salsa basics are complex to master.
02. June 2025, 13:46 Teachers: Anaïse Vallée & Kai Ott, Room: UZH Zentrum, GLT A-02
Anaïse and Kai teach salsa in an amazing and engaging way. We were always guaranteed to learn sth and have a lot of fun.

What a great course! On the last day we all went to open dancing together after the lesson. Was so so fun. Thank you Julia and Fabian!
01. June 2025, 22:07 Teachers: Julia Kruszynska & Fabian Weber, Room: UZH Zentrum, Untere Mensa
Julia and Fabian are great teachers. Their classes are always fun and never boring. They don't shy away from dancing with their students and give feedback. At the end of each class we always did a Rueda and never managed to end on time cause everyone was too busy having fun dancing. We even went to Platzspitz together for a Salsa social after the final session :D

It was a lot of fun and a great introduction, also if you have never danced before. Richard is super good at explaining the figures and techniques and Melanie brings a very engaging energy to the course.

Silvan und Ramona sind energiegeladen und bringen uns Salsa Cubana auf eine verständliche und praktische Art und Weise, welche alles andere als starr ist, bei. Sie tanzen auch regelmässig mit den Teilnehmern und geben uns direktes Feedback, was extrem wertvoll ist.
