Our 8-week Journeys
Cuban Salsa is known as one of the most passionate dance styles! Different from LA-style, with Cuban you literally dance outside the 'lines' and have total freedom. The roots of salsa originated in Eastern Cuba from the Cuban Son (about 1920) and Afro-Cuban dance (like Afro-Cuban rumba). The dance is typically energetic and fun, with emphasis on expression, playfulness, passion, and connection.
