Cuban Salsa or Salsa Cubana is the name used to describe the dances of “casino” and “rueda de casino”.
Salsa cubana is a rotational dance. The dancers walk in a circle while doing rotational turn patterns, often tying partners' arms up into knots that must then be untied. Salsa is always about having fun! It doesn’t matter if you forget a move or mess up; just laugh it off and keep going! The focus of salsa cubana is to be social, with lots of yelling, laughing, and plenty of gyrating hips.
Continuation Course
Time: Wednesdays, 18:30 – 19:30
The continuation course is aimed at you who have some basic knowledge of Cuban Salsa. You could have taken the Beginners level and felt like you wanted to learn more, or you have learnt the basic steps somewhere else but feel like this is the time to continue learning more about the dance.
At the end of the course you’ll be comfortable enough with the dance to go out and join the social dances around the world.
We expect that all people joining Continuation know how to either lead or follow these moves: Guapea, Dile Que No, Enchufla, as we will not be doing a detailed teaching for these moves. We encourage you to take the Beginners level again if you don't feel comfortable in your basics before joining the Continuation level.
Beginner Course
Time: Wednesdays, 19:30 – 20:30
The beginner course is aimed towards you who have never danced Salsa before. Or perhaps you have never danced at all before. It gives you a basic understanding of the dance, including rhythm and music, basic steps, and easy figures. By the end of the first lesson you’ll be able to show off some moves at CSDA’s social hangouts, and by the end of the course you’ll be comfortable enough with the dance to go out and join the social dances out and about around the world.
Deep-dive workshops
Time: Wednesdays, 19:30 (Duration: 30-45 minutes)
For the coming study period, in conjunction with the continuation class, we aim to have a series of "Deep-dive workshops" focused on themes like musicality, styling, technique, or variations of basic moves you already know and may want to spice up. The exact dates and themes of the workshops will be announced on Discord and Orbi.
Social dance
Time: Wednesdays, 20:30 – 21:15
The social dance is open for any CSDA member, and we highly encourage our students to join it as part of the course. Here you have room to practice what you’ve learned, as well as socialize and make new friends.
The student discount applies to students from all schools and universities and also PhD students.
Choosing any one level of the course, i.e. beginner or continuation, gives you access to all the activities of the dance, i.e. the beginner and the continuation courses and the social dance after.
