What is Cuban Salsa?
Cuban Salsa (also known as Casino) is a circular form of salsa dance that originated in Cuba in the late 1950s. It’s a lively and dynamic type of salsa based on a strong connection between partners. This dance is all about feeling the music and dancing in circular patterns; we also offer Linear Salsa classes!
Our goal is to make your learning experience enjoyable and accessible. We’ll start with basic techniques, rhythm and partner connection. As you progress we’ll introduce new techniques and flairs to help you express yourself in your unique style. Grab your dance shoes and let's get started!
Learn to Dance Salsa
in a Supportive Environment
We believe that everyone can dance. Yes, even you people who think you have two left feet. You’re our speciality!
We teach in small groups and split the beginner's lesson into sections based on experience. This allows our teachers to dedicate time to the needs of each student and address any questions you might have.
The classes run for one hour each, every Tuesday night in Mayfield. We offer beginners (Split into 1 and 2) and an Intermediate-Advanced class. A lot of our experienced salsa students come to the beginner lesson, because any excuse for more dancing is welcome!
You don’t need experience or a partner to start learning to dance salsa. We’ll pair you up with other students and we all dance together so both leaders and followers learn the essentials. Couples are welcome and you won’t have to dance with other people if you don’t want to, but we recommend dancing with as many people as possible to get a good foundation.
