Cuban Salsa Dance

Resident Cuban dancer and musician Rafael Ferrer Noel will be teaching a fun follow-me introductory Cuban Salsa class followed by a mini Salsa Social at Pātaka's Helen Smith Community Meeting Room. No partner or previous experience required.

Cuban Salsa is a vibrant, spontaneous partner dance characterized by fluid, relaxed, fun, circular movements. It features intricate arm-work, Afro-Cuban body isolations, and has its roots in street dancing and Rumba brought to Cuba in 1500s from Africa. The key to learning Cuban-style Salsa is developing confident footwork, dancing in time with the music, and most importantly enjoying the music and yourself.
