More Playful - More Sexy
Street Salsa®
Street Salsa is all about the vibe. We bring the attention back to the partnework with playful elements that light the spark in the dance.
What is Street Salsa?
Street Salsa® is a flavor of Timba dance and a teaching approach created by Ido Flaishon.
Is all about the vibe — simple figures, full-body movement, deep connection, and playful energy. 🔥
Among it's min influences are of course Casino & Timba, alongside of Urban and Club dancing.
It is currently being taught in La Candela, as well as internationally in festivals and schools abroad.
Why Street Salsa?
Cuban music is constantly evolving. In terms of music, some branches of musicians are coming closer to mainstream music bringing influences of Reggaeton, RnB, and Urban music. With Street Salsa we answer the call for change and change the flavor of our dance to correspond. We also believe that the dance can be danced to other styles of music but Timba in some cases.
Salsa is constantly evolving. Salsa Cubana has not stayed the same either, and people nowadays dance differently than they used to. We seek connection and we seek to enjoy the dance. Street Salsa. With Street Salsa, we put that on focus and add some sexy edge to it. Essentially it is a flavor of Timba dance, but we draw influence from Urban styles of dance and Club dance.
What to expect?
The focus is always on connection, enjoyment, and the feel of the dance
We bring on the edgy and the sexy. Be ready for cool elements, and playful energy.
We keep it simple - the elements often look cool but they are designed to be open level so most dancers could follow the class/
We want you to use the move in the dancefloor - so you could build the connection there.
The Methodology
When we give Street Salsa® workshops we also teach with a unique methodology designed to open dancers' minds to release from "the anxiety of figures performing", doing it all "correct and by the book" or "seeking perfection of movement". The point is to help students make an internal change and shift their focus to enjoying the music, the dance, and their partner.
The Music
Sreet Salsa can be danced on any song. But it does work quite nice with Timba that has an Urban edge.
We also love dancing it on various Urban styles of music that are not nececssarily Salsa or Timba.
We are always compiling a list of songs that evoke the feeling of Street Salsa. If you like the music, subscribe to the playlist on Spotify.
