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.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
