Rumba Columbia Workshop

it's not just a party!

Practice and get to know your friends

Salsa & Friends is a Salsa practica meet-up where you can practice in a friendly safe zone, receive feedback from La Candela teachers board, and get to know your fellow dancers in an after-party meetup.

All are welcome! You don't have to be a student of our school, and all levels are welcome.

Practice

Practice Salsa with people that want to practice!
We choose the right music for you to grow - that means usually easygoing music, and music from the repertoaire of Cuban dances we teach in La Candela.

GEt Feedback

Usually we have at least one teacher around the party. It's your time to questions or reminders. You can ask for a dance and/or feedback. It's the sort of stuff we normally give only in private classes!

after-party meetup

Dancing is all about connection—but on the dance floor, we don’t always have time to truly get to know one another. After the practica, we’ll often head out together for a drink and a chat: a relaxed opportunity to connect beyond the dance and turn familiar faces into real friendships.

Please be mindful - There is no class

There is no intro class to the party, and learning the basics of the dance takes more than the few minutes we can afford each student with.

Great parquet, amazing sound system, and beautiful atmosphere.

Rumba Columbia is an Afro-Cuban dance where men (and women nowadays) get into the fray and show off their best moves. It's a dance that exudes masculinity and has very close relations to the music and the drums.

Who is it for?

The class is open level but it does require some comfort in movement and rhythm. We recommend at least 6 months of dance practice.

It's important to say that we welcome all genders. The dance is strong and dominant in nature but nowadays women can be seen participating quite often as well.
