Description

The Cuban style refers to a dance style of salsa, also called "casino" or "de la calle" style.
The various names are already to indicate the origin of the Cuban salsa: it was both in the casinos and in the cabarets.
Unlike other styles, the Cuban style is danced more orbiting (in circles). Many figures can also be performed in a simple couple dance.
The Cuban style is originally danced "to 2" (son) and "to 3" (salsa), but mostly to "1" in western regions.

The objectives of the course are the following:
1) The dancers can play the basic step to the rhythm with the help of the Clave.
2) The dancers master the basic-rotation-pattern (6 basic turns):
   (Right turn, Left turn, Cross turn inside, Cross turn outside, Enchufa, reversed cross turn).
3) The dancers can move freely in the room using the basic rotation pattern.
4) The women masters the "Dile que no".
5) The men have different strategies for guiding the woman (body language, holding hands).
6) The dancers know the physical attitude in Salsa and can implement it.

The content of the two workshops is built up in a  way so that we first warm up our muscles. Therefore, comfortable (sports) clothing is recommended.
After warming up a series of the same movements and figures will be repeated. Then, this series will be repeated in different contexts until optimized and fluid in design. At the end, warm-up movements and movements from the couple dance are assembled and put together into a small choreo.

What you need:
Drinkbottle
Salsa shoes (if possible)
Sportswear

If the weather is nice, we may dance outside
