past - La Candela - Salsa & Cuban Dances School in Berlin

Salsa – Master Class

The class will be a mix of complex and challenging combo and styling. We will work on our leading/following skills as well as on some body movement.

Son Cubano – For Experienced Dancers

In these workshops, we will buff our repertoire of Son Cubano touching each time different topics that will allow you to shine in your dance: figures, musicality, tornillos/planchas.

In this level we give dancers a deeper practice into Salsa Cubana. We revisit core elements to enhance them, and building more complex figures based on them, keeping close eye on correct leading and following technique. We also address different concepts for experienced dancers.

Timba Partnerwork

Nowadays many dancers prefer to dance with a simple structure and more focus on styling, connection, and a deeper understanding of the music. Originally Timba was denoting the Cuban Salsa music, but today many say “I dance Timba”

Rumba Columbia Workshop

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.

Salsa – Advanced 1

In this level we deal with the Salsa as it should be danced, free, rich of movement, flow, full of style and sabor. We will increase our comfortablity with complex figures, and add some twists to make the dance more flavorsome. As always, we keep our eyes on the details and work on perfecting our leading and following technique.
