Step into the soul of Cuban music and dance with our Son Cubano Series! Starting Thursday 26th of September at 19h, this 10-class series is your chance to learn the iconic dance that gave birth to salsa!What is Son Cubano?
Son is a traditional Cuban partner dance, originating in the eastern provinces of Cuba in the late 19th century. By the 1930s, it had become Cuba’s national rhythm and dance, blending West African, Hispanic, and local creole influences. Renowned for its elegance and sophistication, Son is danced contra-tiempo, with a slower, more refined style than contemporary salsa.In this series, you'll be guided through the fundamentals of Son Cubano, learning the signature contra-tiempo timing, clave patterns, and core Cuban musical concepts. You’ll master the essential footwork and movements, including desplazamientos, caídas, planchas, and tornillos, while exploring the rich history behind this beautiful dance.
Note: On the same day, there will also be an Afro-Cuban Initiation Series from 20h to 21h30. Combine both classes to dive deeper into Cuban dance culture!
Why Son Cubano?

By mastering Son, you'll elevate your salsa dancing with grace, authenticity, and a deeper understanding of Cuban rhythms. It's the perfect next step for anyone who loves salsa and wants to explore its roots!Who Can Join?
