Cuban Body Movement

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.

Location

La Candela Studio
Am Hamburger hbf 2A, 10557 Berlin

Great parquet, amazing sound system, and beautiful atmosphere.

Dance is more than mere step sequences. In this course, we dissect the complex movement patterns
of Cuban dances, specifically Salsa and Son, first isolating and then integrating all the individual
elements into one harmonious complete movement.
We aim to internalize the technique, enhancing both the visual appeal and the physical
experience of dancing. Get ready for an elevated fun factor!


The Teacher

Christina Dragoi
Christina's journey into the world of dance began during her teenage years. An immersive
experience in Latin America during 1999/2000 exposed her to the vibrant rhythms of the region,
and subsequent lessons with renowned Cuban teachers shaped her style. Over the years, the ongoing
training both in Europe and in Cuba has deepened not only her dancing skills but also her knowledge
of the structure, history, and evolution of Cuban dances.

Since 2001, Christina has been teaching mainly
in southern Germany, with the aim of passing on to her students both her skills and her enthusiasm
for dancing.
