Pachanga

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.

Pachanga is a style of music and dance that emerged around 1959 in Cuba. The music can be described as "happy go lucky" and so are the steps of the iconic dance.

The dance today is a mix of the original Cuban dance and development that merged into in the United States where Boogaloo and other dances of the era left the mark.

In this course, we will work on the basics of Pachanga as well as on some of its most iconic movements. These moves are easily merged into Salsa and are commonly used for styling.

Requirements:

We recommend having some experience with Salsa before, but not much more is beyond basic steps, and perhaps the right turn. The dance requires a level of coordination, so if you feel like the stepping, and tapping to the rhythm of Salsa is still challenging perhaps Pachanga will be a challenge you want to leave for later.
