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.

Weekly series "Son Cubano Choreo"

"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.

In this 10-week series, we will build a choreography step by step, incorporating the signature movements of Son such as desplazamientos, caídas and tornillos. You’ll also deepen your understanding of musicality, clave patterns, and body movement.

At the end of the series, we record a high quality video of the choreography, and if possible, we perform it at one of our events! Join this unique opportunity to bring your Son dancing to the next level.

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.

• Afro-Cuban - Series of 10 classes starting Thursday 24/04 at 20h (Edel)

Note: Afro-Cuban classes are 1,5 hours due to the characteristics of this style. Therefor, the price per series will be € 120.

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.
