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 rumba is in energetic dance between man and woman. This ballroom dance comes from Cuba in its original form and is characterized by the mutual play of man and woman in dance. Traditionally, the rumba movements symbolize the essence of various deities. They are danced in different colors in Cuba (e.g: Yemaya - goddess of the sea, color: blue, character: calm, balance, patience). Since the rhythm for dancing the Rumba figures is a bit more demanding, this is part of the repertoire of the advanced courses.

The objectives of the course are the following:
1) The dancers can play the basic steps (Salsa y Rumba) to the rhythm with the help of the Clave and Son-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 (and men) master the "Dile que no" and "Dile que si".
5) The men have different strategies for guiding the woman (body language, holding hands).
6) The dancers know the physical attitude in Salsa and Rumba and can implement it.
7) The dancers know a little Repertoire of Movement in Rumba.

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.
