AFRO CUBAN

AFRO-CUBAN CLASS In this class, you will be learning body movements that will help you refine your dance style, whether you dance Salsa or Bachata. We’ll also focus on the traditional dances of the Orishas — Eleggua, Yemaya, Shango, Oggun, Oshosi, Obbatala, and Oya — as well as other folkloric Cuban dances such as Arara, Makuta, and Yuka. Of course, we couldn’t leave out our UNESCO-recognized treasure: the famous Cuban Rumba, which is divided into Yambú, Guaguancó, and Columbia. In addition, we’ll explore a freestyle version during class to help you connect with the rhythm more naturally. You won’t be standing still when the Timba music starts and the Afro-Cuban or Rumba (Guaguancó) section comes in — you’ll learn how to dance through those transitions. I’ll show you how to move smoothly from Timba to Afro-Cuban and back, as well as how to mix Rumba movements into your Timba flow. You’ll also receive a curated list of energetic songs so you can practice, enjoy, and memorize them at home. This class is also open to Mambo dancers and On1 dancers who want to expand their musicality and body movement. 🗓️ Class Dates: • October 8, 22, 29 • November 5 ⏱️ Time : 7 - 8 pm 💰 Price: • 4 Classes – $95 • Drop-in – $27 📍 Location: 2600 Portland Street SE, Calgary, AB 📞 Phone: 403-383-9677 🔗 Follow us: 🌐 Instagram: @larumbacubandanceco https://www.instagram.com/larumbacubandanceco?igsh=ZWh2amtveDM3b3d1&utm_source=qr 📘 Facebook: La Rumba Cuban Dance Company 🎵 TikTok: @larumbasoyo 💬 WhatsApp: Contact me here: https://www.larumbacubandance.com/
