What is Cuban Salsa?

Did you know, salsa was born in Cuba!

Salsa was born as a cultural dance in the clubs and streets of Cuba in the 40’s coming from a mix of styles such as Afro-Rumba, Cha Cha Cha and Son – and quickly gained popularity as it spread across Latin America and the world. 

Known for it’s exciting music and high energy movements, it can be danced in couple or solo. The dancers follow the rhythm of the music based on the clave, the weight shifts cause the hips to move, and the ‘leader‘ uses his arms signal and guide the ‘follower‘ to change positions and make different steps (that we learn in class). 

If you don’t have a partner – don’t worry! Social dancing is about dancing with a variety of people or you can stay with your chosen partner. Social dance nights are your chance to practice and have fun with Havana People !
