Cuban Traditions Dance

$69.00

Our Cuban Traditions classes are intended to introduce dancers to new, rarely-seen forms of Afro-Cuban/Cuban-Style dance and provide them with a new avenue for self-expression. This class consists of a warm-up with a concentration on fundamental movements, body isolation, and sweat-inducing exercises along with movement vocabulary for various dance forms. 

  • Timba Libre: Freestyle footwork steps to Timba music of several Cuban rhythms, including Timba, Salsa Cubana, Casino, Afro Cuban & much more. Get ready to sweat! We highly recommend you already know your Salsa timing on 1 to participate. Not recommended for absolute beginners.
  • Rumba: One of Cuba’s most celebrated forms of music and dance. The genre is energetic and soulful, using conga drums, claves, maracas, scrapers, and bells. When you listen to rumba, you can’t help but start to dance! *Cuban rumba is not the same as American ballroom rumba (or rhumba) but inspired the popular ballroom dance category.
  • Son Cubano: Son is the predominant musical force in Cuba and the symbol of the island. It has been most popular dance before the Cuban Revolution (1959).
  • Yoruba: Most movement in the Afro-Cuban dance tradition comes out of the African religion known as Yoruba. In this, touching while dancing is rare except in special circumstances.
  • Congo/Arara: Its traditions come from the Bantú people of Central Africa (particularly from Congo). The Bantú represent the majority of African slaves coming into Cuba during the 17th and early 18th centuries; Drums and hand rattles are used in this music, which is based upon communication with ancestral spirits, the dead, as opposed to the Orishas. Arará music is characterized by particular percussive styles, including drumming, hand-clapping, and body percussion.
