Cuban Weekend
September 20st and 21st
in Cologne
20th of September - Body Movement and Solo Moves - 18h-21h
Get ready for learning how to move your body in a free and authentic way. We will teach you precise body movement (chest, arms, hips and feet) together with new steps that you can implement in your Social Dancing. You’ll also learn the structure of cuban music to understand which steps in which part of the song you can use. We will also do some exercises to put away your fear or anxiety of expressing yourself while dancing.
21st of September - Son Cubano (intermediate) - 11h-14h
Son is a really elegant and connected dance, where the leading has to be really precise. It is danced in a different timing than Salsa, so we will teach you how to recognize and dance the different instruments that we hear in Son music (Clave, Congas, Bass, Bongos…). We will also focus on your breathing while dancing, so that you can concentrate on the moment and enjoy even more the connection to your partner. Because it was developed in the early 1900s, we want to keep the style and attitude from that time in Cuba, so it is danced in a very elegant and smooth way, respecting the traditions (outfit, elegant attitude, being a Gentleman/Lady).

One Workshop - 40€

Prices till 15th September
Rumba Guaguancó is the mother of modern Salsa/Timba music
The guaguancó highlights the process of conquest between a man and a woman. The man's respect for her, the chivalry, the first invitation, the first flower, the first words of love. The woman takes a while to accept his proposals as she is enjoying her sight and feeling flattered.
We will teach you the Guaguancó basic steps, the feeling of the music, the feeling of the dance and also how to improvise when dancing in couples
Rumba Columbia is a very strong and sensitive dance
Through Columbia dancers express their deepest emotions. It is an improvisational dance developed by the people of cuba where every dancer performs alone showing everything that he or she can do. It consists of fast footwork combined with hard movement of the shoulders, varying with tempo and cadence.
We will not only show you a choreography to replicate, we will teach you some basic steps and transitions, in order for you to understand the dynamic of Columbia. Our goal is that you can feel confident to improvise alone
