Cuban Salsa (Casino)

Cuba dances Casino. Do you?
Joy in every step.

Beginner (1)Improver (2)Intermediate (3)

Casino is the Cuban partner dance, born in 1950s Havana from Son Cubano, Cha-Cha-Chá and Mambo. It is danced following the body's natural movements, with a strong connection between partners. Steps and figures turn dynamically in circles.

Authentic • Musical • Full of joy
Course goals per level
Level 1 · Beginner
rhythm, basic steps and the first basic figures al Centro, guapea, enchufla and dile que no – for a solid foundation and a feeling for partner, music and movement.
Level 2 · Improver
setenta, vacila and el dedo are added. The aim is to dance the figures from levels 1 and 2 without thinking and without hesitating.
Level 3 · Intermediate
new figures on the foundation of the first two levels, clear communication between leader and follower. Every round brings different combinations.

Son Cubano

The origin moves.

Beginner (1)Improver (2)Intermediate (3)

Son Cubano is the partner dance from eastern Cuba: a meeting of Europe and Africa and the starting point of almost all Latin American rhythms and dances. Elegance meets the rhythm of clave and tres, danced in contratiempo. Salsa exists thanks to Son Cubano.

Tradition • Elegance • Musicality
Course goals per level
Level 1 · Beginner
the contratiempo, the characteristic offbeat rhythm of Cuban son – recognising instruments, dancing the basic steps, simple partner work with elegant walking.
Level 2 · Improver
more figures, variations and combinations, a deeper interplay with your partner.
Level 3 · Intermediate
more modern son variations and more complex figures, among them the tornillos – slow, elegant turns on one leg. The contratiempo needs to be in place.
