Our newest workshops focus on body flow, for men & women. Scroll down to see more info about these special workshops and to learn why the right body flow is essential.
Every summer we host guest teachers for a special program to dance throughout the whole summer. And of course, we will be sharing our specialties as well! The fun does not end here: A couple of times per year we fly in Cuban teachers to share their beautiful culture and dance with us and our students.

Lady-Flow:
Rumba Guaguanco
04-05 | 13:00 | Q-Factory Amsterdam
I invite you to work on your natural flow when dancing Rumba Guaguancó! During this workshop we focus on the Guaguancó vibe and basic coordination of all the different layers that make up this dance. Think of the bounce, hips, torso, arms and more! Rumba is not easy and can be improved through years, but it is definitely worth it if you want to incorporate playfulness in your timba and have more fun with it!🔥

Lady-Flow by Laila!
18-05 | 13:00 | Q-Factory Amsterdam
This won’t be a regular ‘fun’ lady styling class. We won’t be doing sparkly choreos.. (wait, what!?). Instead, we focus on the first step: ‘simply’ moving in a flow with the right coordination that’ll become a new, natural way of moving - visible in all the dancing you will do in the future.
​
In most western places we learn styling in the wrong order. We have to learn how to réally move our bodies and feel comfortable in them, before we learn lots of steps and styling with arms etc. In Cuba they learn how to move like this from young age, so they only have to learn the steps when they start with salsa. For us, its important to not skip this essential first part.
​
In this class we focus on moving:
- The torso
- The chest
- The shoulders
- The hips
Salsa & Timba Musicality
By Nick 22-05 | 21:00 | Beatzone
We invited musicality master Nick (Nueva Risa) to our casa! Nicks enthusiasm and visible passion will be taking you on a journey through salsa history, instruments, rythms, song structure & more! This is a class you can simply not miss if you want to become a better dancer, as musicality might be the most important ingredient that will make a dance a special experience for both dancers!
We are VERY much looking forward to this one.
Flow in partnerwork
The focus will be on naturally moving our bodies when dancing with a partner, while ‘travelling’ & slowing down instead of stopping on the 4 & 8 count.
​
We will be starting from scratch, focusing on the torso, shoulders and hip movements in closed position basic moves, guapea, dile que and building from there also incorporaing the arms - adding styling when we’ve got the above down.
