London Cuban Salsa dancers – ready to feel Rumba inside your body?
Integrating Afro-Cuban Rumba into Cuban Salsa
Join this 10-week immersive training exploring how Afro-Cuban Rumba lives in the body and transforms the way we dance Cuban Salsa.
This is not a steps-based class but a progressive journey into rhythm, body awareness and expressive movement.
Through a layered working approach, participants develop a deeper understanding of musicality, grounded movement and authentic Afro-Cuban expression.
By the end of the programme, dancers will gain the confidence and tools to naturally integrate Rumba movement into Cuban Salsa, enriching their dance with greater authenticity, musicality and personal style.
