Weekly series "Rueda de Casino"

Rueda de casino (or simply ‘Rueda’) is loved by every Cuban salsa dancer because of the pleasure it creates. Fun, great group atmosphere, cardio work out, memory training while discovering and repeating salsa figures… Rueda has it all! It is Cuban salsa danced with a partner (like regular salsa) with the difference that throughout the song you exchange partners and get to dance with everyone in the circle (instead of just one person). The instructor (or circle leader) calls out the moves so that everyone in the circle is synchronized.

For the Rueda series, a basic knowledge of Cuban salsa is required.

• Rueda 1 - Series of 10 classes starting Monday 23/03 at 21h (Sean)
• Rueda 2 - Series of 10 classes starting Tuesday 21/04 at 19h (Sean)

Weekly series "Afro-Cuban"

Expand your dance repertoire with Afro-Cuban moves!

Discover the rhythm and power of Afro-Cuban dance in Leuven and add a new dimension to your salsa.

In this series, you will explore different dances from the rich Afro-Cuban culture, from the dynamic Yoruba dances like Elegguá and Changó to the vibrant Congo dances like Palo and Makuta.

Afro-Cuban movements are deeply rooted in the Yoruba religion, which West Africans continued to practice in Cuba after being enslaved and brought to the island. The orishas each symbolize different elements of the natural world and are represented by characteristic movements.

The arrival of African slaves in Cuba introduced a culture of dance with extraordinary richness. Many of these traditional dances have become an important part of Cuban dance culture, offering inspiration and depth to salsa. Cuban salsa dancers often incorporate these Afro-Cuban moves into their social dancing, adding flair and authenticity.

This Afro-Cuban series are taught by Edel, a former member of the Ballet Folklorico de Oriente in Cuba. He is perfect for bringing an authentic experience.

This class is open to everyone, regardless of previous experience, though it does require a level of control, coordination, and body movement. We recommend it for those with at least some dance background.

This series will be back later!

Weekly series "Son Cubano Social"

"El Son es lo más sublime para el alma divertir"

Son is a traditional Cuban partner dance that originated in the 1930s. Danced contra-tiempo, Son is slower than contemporary salsa and is renowned for its elegance and sophistication. Explore Son Cubano, the dance that inspired salsa, in our specialized classes in Leuven, Belgium

Emerging from the eastern provinces of Cuba (Oriente) in the late 19th century, Son became Cuba's national rhythm and dance by the 1930s. It beautifully blends West African, Hispanic, and local creole musical influences. Over time, its derivatives, especially Salsa, have gained global popularity.

This series is especially designed to focus on the social dancing of Son Cubano!

Private classes

In private classes the teacher has the opportunity to focus only on you and your dancing. Also, you have the opportunity to let us know what you want to focus on in these private classes. The private classes are tailored to your own goals.This allows you to progress faster or to focus on specific elements of the dance or on specific issuesyou want to solve in your dancing (helping you remember figures, practice styling, body movement,practicing techniques…). In this way, they can be taken separate or as a complement to your group classes.

Private classes can be an ideal solution if:

• You have a difficult work schedule and you cannot attend weekly dance classes
• You want to evolve faster or focus on a specific issue
• You prefer to have classes at your own house (or somewhere else)
• You prefer to have classes on another moment than the group classes

The price of private classes depends on how many persons are joining the private classes and on how many private classes you would like to follow. Contact us for more information.
