What we’re about
The concept for this meetup is to provide a medium to get to know each other; the events organized are of non-commercial in nature and the weekly gathering on Sundays to practice languages is a popular event.
Besides the regular Sunday gatherings, we also organize walking tours, picnics, hiking, going to the beach, and more!

💃🏼🕺🏼Have you ever tried Salsa? How about CUBAN Salsa? Now is your chance to learn this exciting & fun dance! On Wednesday, May 7th, we are offering a Cuban-style Salsa BEGINNER introduction class! The class will start its curriculum from scratch, will be in a dance studio, & will be kept comfortably small to facilitate learning, so IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU HAVE NEVER DANCED! Also, having a partner is not required as we constantly rotate during the class. This format gives you the opportunity to practice your steps with various partners & prepares you for the social dance scene in a safe & pressure-free environment.
The teachers, a male & female, teach progressive levels of Cuban Salsa Partner work, also known as Casino & Rueda de Casino - an interactive group dance where there are constant partner exchanges with fun patterns executed in unison!

This class is for advanced beginners that have completed our 4-week absolute beginner series & further extrapolates from key foundational motions in Cuban Salsa. In each 60-minute class of the four week series, students focus on improving & fine-tuning the core introductory elements of Casino: Exhíbela, Dile que No, Guapea, Enchufla-based patterns, closed & open position transitions, & compositional variations. Rueda de Casino, an interactive group dance involving rapid partner exchanges, will also be introduced with the goal of increasing & fortifying responsiveness in both lead & follow roles, along with spatial orientation & kinesthetic awareness. Upon completion, students will have all the necessary tools to transition to the intermediate level.
🔹8:00 - 9:00pm | Intermediate Cuban Salsa & Rueda de Casino - Level 2
This progressive class is geared for those that have danced Cuban Salsa before & allows you to further solidify, fine-tune, & expand upon the basics covered in both Levels 1 & 1.5. Here is your opportunity to refresh all of the beginning motions at a pace that is comfortable for you while continuing to cement a solid foundation in this exciting, interactive, & fun dance. Students will be able to execute moves at the intermediate level with specific attention to patterns involving both Vacílala & Paséala & their variations. Linear & lateral Guapea footwork patterns will also be introduced. This high-energy class focuses on combinations, leading & following technique, styling, body motion, & fun salsa suelta footwork. Lead better. Follow better. Dance better.
We look forward to dancing with you!
