About this Event
Come dancing every Wednesday night in Grey Lynn starting at 8pm — with maestro Vivio Ramos Mediaceja. These classes will make you healthier and happier, give you skills to confidently hit the social dance floor, and improve your body movement and musicality.
Learn a broad range of Salsa and Rueda combinations — some classics and some are Vivio's 'original' moves that are now danced around the country.
Improve all aspects of your dancing with ‘takeaway’ exercises and tips to tackle the challenges that might arise within your dancing.
NB: Intermediate to Advanced students are also invited to join our Beginners to Improvers’ class at 7pm for free, where you can concentrate on polishing your dance skills, get fitter and give our developing students a chance to practice with more experienced dancers.>>>>>>>>WHO IS THIS CLASS DESIGNED FOR?
> Dancers who have completed The Cuban Groove's Beginners’ and Improvers’ Salsa classes held on Wednesdays at 7pm;
> Dancers who can dance Intermediate-level Salsa and understand simple Rueda moves but want to learn Cuban-style combinations. If you dance linear-style Salsa, we recommend that you initially attend the Beginners’ to Improvers’ level Salsa class at 7pm to learn to adapt your skills before joining this class.
> If you know Vivio’s Intermediate-level dance combinations and want to learn more advanced moves.

> Advanced dancers who wants to keep learning better techniques and new combinations. We also recommend you attend our Rumba class on Tuesday nights to improve your body movement and learn to authentically incorporate Rumba into your Salsa repertoire.
NB: If you would like more individual tuition or to fast-track your learning, Vivio is available for private classes, email us at: [email protected]>>>>>>>>WHAT WILL I LEARN IN CLASS?

1. WARM UP YOUR BODY: The class begins with Vivio's famous 'Follow Me' routine to a medley of Cuban music, featuring Intermediate to Advanced moves from many of the great Cuban dances — Salsa, Mambo, Cha-cha, Son, Rumba, Afro-Cuban Orishas, Salsaton, Conga and more. Vivio will break down the moves and techniques to help instil them in your body before you apply them in the next stage.
2. LEARN COMBINATIONS: Here, you will learn classic and original* dance combinations and body styling for:: Serpentina*, Setenta Complicado, La Prima con la hermana, La Prima con la Hermana y Skippy, Enchufa con Rumba, La Tia*, Remolino*, Media Naranja*, Paseala doble*, Pichi* and Rosquita*, and many more besides.
*Many original moves have been developed by The Cuban Groove and are now danced around Aotearoa by teachers who have trained with Vivio, so you will often see them on dance floors around the country.
3. LEARN EXERCISES TO PRACTISE AGAIN AT HOME: Over the weeks and months, you will learn a set of 'takeaway' exercises to improve the challenges within your dancing, whether it be aspects of timing and musicality, connection with partners, ‘unusual’ styling, stiff body movements or struggles with learning choreographies.
4. COOL DOWN: In the last five minutes of class you will cool down with another ‘Follow Me’, where you have a chance to practice the dance moves.>>>>>>>>KEY INFORMATION:
