Learn from professional dancers in the birthplace of Salsa!

Everyday consists of theory and practice during the day and a practicum at night. So get your naps in cause we’re GOING OUT!

Day 1

Bienvenido a la Habana!

You’ll be whisked from the airport and shimmy straight into your first dance class. We are not wasting any time here!

We begin at the Salsa House with an hour’s introduction to the dance with an explanation with theory and history of Cuba, followed by an hour of dance to determine your level.

The history of salsa starts with DANZON, a ballroom dance that originated in Cuba as the first dance where men and women danced close together. From there, SON CUBANO was developed. Son is a musical rhythm that began in the countryside of Cuba and has traditional and specific movements of dance. Then around 1940’s, Rock n Roll came onto the musical scene and started to mix with Son Cubano. From there the dance CASINO SALSA was developed in Cuba. Learn all about the difference between CASINO SALSA and other salsa styles from other parts of the world but, just remember that SON is the base of all melodies around the world making salsa originally Cuban.

For the second hour, we will throw you right into practice where you will learn CASINO and see the difference between Casino and “Salsa en Linea” or Line Salsa. Your teachers will divide you into three different groups: BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, or ADVANCED based on your performance.

Then, it’s on to our WELCOME DINNER in Havana’s hottest restaurant!

Day 2

La Rueda de Casino y Clase de musica Cubana

Everyday we learn new movements like REPARTO (Cuban reggaeton), CHA CHA CHA, MAMBO steps, and RUMBA and how to introduce these styles of dance into CASINO SALSA. In your second class, you will learn SON which is the base of salsa. Then, in our second hour, we introduce “La Rueda de Casino”– Casino Wheel. LA RUEDA DE CASINO is a fun way to socialize between partners. It’s a dance that is done in a circle where partners switch every so often with lots of improvisation thrown into it.

After we have lunch in a boutique restaurant, we will head to our educational activity: CUBAN MUSIC CLASS, where you learn the base of the instruments you’re listening to. This will give you a deeper understanding of the rhythms that make up the magic of salsa. This class is interactive.

Then take a nap, because it’s a SATURDAY NIGHT and we’re GOING OUT to put our skills to the test.

DID YOU KNOW?

Rumba serves as a powerful form of cultural preservation, fostering community and connection while honoring the rich Afro-Cuban traditions through expressive movements and vibrant rhythms.

Day 3

Rumba y La Playa

Today your first hour is RUMBA which is a Cuban style of dance invented by freed enslaved AfroCuban communities. Here you will learn the three different styles of rumba, the music, and the basic and traditional steps. Our second hour is our last practice of CASINO SALSA & CASINO WHEEL. You should have it down by now!

And then we’re having lunch on the white sand beaches of Cuba! Get ready for lobster, crystal clear waters, and coconut full of rum in your hands!

Day 4

Farewell!

We never say goodbyes, only See You Soon!

We hope when you take the dancefloor by storm you think about us!
