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 2 - Series of 10 classes starting Tuesday 09/01 at 19h



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.


If you are interested in private classes, just send us an e-mail or give us a phone call.



Teambuilding


A dance initiation is a perfect activity for a teambuilding with fun guaranteed! A salsa workshop combines the enthusiastic energy of the Latin music with body movement and social interaction between the participants. It brings a relaxed atmosphere and you give a new experience to your colleagues… and maybe even your boss!


Our teambuilding activities are adapted to your desires:


  • We offer workshops in different styles according to your desires: Cuban salsa, ladies style, reggaeton, bachata, merengue, chacha, salsa fitness…
  • We tailor the teambuilding to your own preferences, adapting the level to the level of the participants.
  • We can arrange a dance hall or come to your preferred location.
  • You decide the date and the time



Wedding dance and choreography


There is nothing more beautiful than a wedding dance by two people deeply in love. We can help you in this special moment by making a choreography for your wedding dance on your own level. You can choose the music, or we can suggest some songs if you want.


First we have a little talk to exchange ideas and possibilities for the wedding dance. After that, wegive you some possibilities and ideas, we make a choreography according to your desires and if you like it, we teach you to dance it.


Have another special occasion coming up? Bachelor party, birthday party… We can spice up your party with an animation, workshop or show.


Contact us for the possibilities!



Practice sessions


Our school regularly organises free practice sessions. These sessions are an ideal opportunity for beginners to practise their newly acquired dance skills, but also more experienced dancers can come and have a nice evening in an enthusiastic atmosphere.


Also, every Friday there are free parties in Studio 31!
