You dance salsa many salsa figures. But do you know what to do when the song brings in Afro-Cuban rhythms or references to the orishas?That’s what we’re going to practice.
Timba is full of musical and cultural references. Once you start recognizing them, you’ll gain a deeper connection with the music and can finally start interpreting them.
📅 Date: Sunday, December 13
🕚 Time: 12:00–15:00
📍 Location: CanDance Studios, Isolatorweg 28, Amsterdam
Parking: Free
✅ Levels
• Timba: Intermediate / Advanced salsa dancers
• Afro-Cuban: Open level – no previous Afro-Cuban experience needed.
In the bootcamp you'll learn:
- Afro-Cuban rhythms: Learn to recognize the rhythms and influences you hear in Timba.
- Orishas and movement: Explore the movements and rhythms of one or two orishas featured in the song we’ll dance with.
- Lyrics and musicality: Pay closer attention to what the song is saying and how the music changes.
- Connection during partner dance: Find ways to bring these musical references into your dancing, without forcing movements that don’t fit the music.
- The intention isn’t to only learn a sequence and repeat it. It’s to understand what you’re hearing and have more options when you dance by yourself later on.
🎟️ Early Bird offer available until November 15
