Cuban Salsa combines African rhythms and dances with Spanish colonial music to produce a vibrant social dance style characterised by intricate footwork and fluid movements.
Want to let loose and shake all those worries away? Look no further than the sass, excitement, and buzz of Salsa! Designed for those with some Salsa dancing experience, each week our All Levels class will focus on partner work, styling, fluidity and poise.
Wear comfortable clothing and either a flat-soled dress shoe or shoes with a low heel. Don’t forget to bring a bottle of water!
Partner is not required to book this class.
Please note 10 class passes are not available for use on our festival class programme.
Meet the Teachers
Yamil Cuedo Ferrera
Yamil was a lead dancer for five years with the professional Cuban company Ballet Folklorico Cutumba until he came to live in Scotland in March 2009.
Prior to Cutumba, he danced with La Ceiba and Sangre y Tradicion as first dancer. He has performed Cuban popular and Afro folkloric dances for over 20 years and has been teaching in Cuba and in Great Britain since 2007.
He comes from Santiago de Cuba where the tradition of Afro-Cuban music and dance is still very much alive, and Cuban Salsa, Son and other popular dances such as Cha-cha-cha are still as popular as ever.
His teaching style is fun, energetic and creative. He is sure to leave you feeling recharged and alive!
