Courses description

We are going to take you on an intimate, magical journey to the streets of Old Havana, Cuba's capital city. Think Mojitos, smooth Cuban Rhythms, palm trees and old American Cars. Who best to guide you on that journey than Abelardo from 'Salsa is Life', a Cuban dance teacher and street performer from Old Havana! He is proud to be sharing Cuba's rich musical and cultural heritage during this intimate tour de force of Cuban Dance and Music

What will you learn:

55 minutes of Salsa

Cuba is the birthplace of salsa! You will learn the basic timing, rhythms and movements fundamental to the most famous of all the Latin Dances.

10 min break

55 minutes of AfroCuban

After a 10 minute break it is time to awaken your inner warrior or Goddess as we celebrate Cuba's African heritage and intertwine ancient storytelling, dance and religion through powerful, mesmerising and rhythmic dances.

Suitable for beginners and those with some experience. All levels are welcome.
