Salsa Cubana Beginner
In this course, you'll learn solid basics to feel confident enough to join your first socials. ✨ You'll gain your first insights into the rhythm of Salsa, learn the fundamental principles of leading and following, work on body movement, and build your first figures step by step.
Book nowCasino IV
For experienced Casino dancers. We work on complex figures, footwork and functional arm styling, fast transitions and musical interpretation, while keeping every movement clear and connected. As always: it's not the number of figures that makes you a "good dancer" — it's your communication with your partner and with the music.
Book nowGuaguancó
Guaguancó is the most popular style of Cuban Rumba — a playful, flirtatious couple dance full of rhythm and attitude. You'll learn the basic step and body movement, the dialogue between the dancers including the famous vacunao, and how to connect your dance to the drums and the song.
Book nowWho We Are
Teaching with heart and depth
Meet Yago & Helen
Together, Helen and Yago created Punto Cubano Berlin as a place where Cuban dance becomes more than movement. It is a space for connection, community and joy; a place where people can feel welcome, express themselves and experience the music with both body and heart.
A class that stays with you
We take time with every student. Our groups are intentionally small so we can give real feedback, adjust to different bodies and rhythms, and make sure everyone leaves class with something new — not just tired feet.
Musicality
Every step is born from the music
Connection
Partner dialogue, not choreography
Community
A welcoming space for everyone
Cuban Depth
Culture, rhythm, and authenticity
What our dancers say
More than a dance school
Für mich die beste kubanische Tanzschule in Berlin.Helen and Yago both dance salsa with such enthusiasm and passion. You can tell how much dance experience they have. They manage to infect others with their good mood at their classes and community socials. I look forward to participating in their classes every time, learning something new, and getting helpful tips for my dance style. I can absolutely recommend taking classes with them.Highly detail oriented, lots of cultural knowledge being shared, best place in town to learn to dance Son Cubano! Plus Rueda de Casino with Helen is tons of fun and includes lots of laughs. Amazing teachers who give personal feedback, definitely recommend!Helen and Yago teach, organize, and run their dance school with heart and soul. It's clear that quality and the joy of dancing are very important to them, and that they truly want to share their knowledge completely. Their goal isn't just to teach steps and figures, but to create a solid foundation from which deeper expression can develop – all with great joy and plenty of fun moments.
I feel like they're creating a community where connection is paramount: connection to the music, to oneself, to one's own body, and of course, to the people with whom one dances.
You feel welcome from the very beginning and realize that this isn't just a dance school, but a place where people can come together, learn, laugh, and dance together.Our Philosophy
More than steps.
We believe that the quality of your dancing is not measured by how many figures you know — but by how you listen, connect, and move with another person.
Dance is a dialogue
Not a performance. Every movement is a conversation between two people, shaped by the music.
Both roles matter equally
Leaders and followers contribute actively. Great dancing happens when both are present, creative, and listening.
Musicality over moves
Technique serves expression. We teach you to hear the clave, feel the tumbao, and let the music guide your body.
Culture runs deep
Cuban dance is not just steps — it's rhythm, history, community, and a way of being. We honor that.
