Cuban salsa (or salsa cubana) traces its roots back to African and Spanish influences that came together in Cuba. The dance style fuses African drum rhythms with Spanish guitar melodies, eventually developing into the salsa dance style we know and love today.

Learn to dance the salsa with master of Cuban dance, Luanda Pau, who is joined by fellow dancers Theresa and Debbie. Born in Havana, Luanda Pau is globally recognised as Cuba’s “Afro-Cuban Dance Queen”. She leads community and dance education programmes for the Carlos Acosta Foundation and runs the Luanda Pau Cuban Dance Club. She is also the visionary behind Alafia Festival, London’s first major celebration of Afro-Cuban dance and culture.

This workshop is suitable for all levels, make sure you have some space at home, relax and connect with the Cuban flavour.
