Salsa in Havana & Trinidad, Cuba - November 2024

SALSA & CULTURE IN CUBA Twin Cities: Havana & Trinidad (Plus, beach option & Vinales day trip) Authentic experience. Sustainable Travel. Working directly with Cubans (BOOK ONLINE: WWW.SALSATOURS.CO.UK) 🇨🇺 YOUR HOLIDAY AT A GLANCE Where else in the world you can dance to Latin rhythms and party non-stop, never short of a dance partner, while being immersed in incredible culture and surrounded by the most talented and beautiful people – the answer is… Cuba! A lo Cubano…the popular saying means ‘the Cuban way’ and it’s exactly what you will do on this holiday, living authentically, in the heart of the country born to dance Salsa. Surrounded by locals, music, dance and culture in the lively, bamboozling and seductive streets of Havana. Of course you will experience some of the famous Cuban ‘must-sees’ but you will also get an ‘off-the tourist-track’ experience that lets you dig deeper into the Cuban culture. 🇨🇺 THE DANCE PART Whether you are new to Salsa or an experienced dance teacher or performer… this holiday is for you! You will have daily workshops focusing on YOU and YOUR dance ability. Everyone will have a dance partner at all times as we ensure equal numbers of male and female Cuban teachers. Your in-depth workshops will teach you technicality, musicality and the fundamentals and roots of Salsa such as Rumba and Son. You will also have in-depth body movement classes and styling. No Cuban style will go untaught on this holiday! But, most importantly, this holiday will see your confidence levels soar as you are swept off your feet both in class and every night by our wonderful, talented team of dancers who will spend the holiday with us. Once workshops are finished for the day you will have lots of options available to you or maybe you prefer to reserve your energy for the evening and rest those feet by the pool with a Cuba Libre in hand! Each night you will be dancing your socks off at the best parties in town…Some nights you’ll be front stage dancing to Cuba’s famous bands such as Havana d’Primera, Los Van Van, Maykel Blanco and many others as they perform live on home soil – What bands we see depends on which ones are performing during the time we are there. You will also have the option of a day visit to the spectacular UNESCO area of Viñales which give you another completely different insight into how diverse and beautiful Cuba really is. Plus a day at the stunning Ancon beach (AKA crazy Cuban beach party) with our dancers! For the perfect finishing touch to your holiday, you will visit the stunning UNESCO town of Trinidad – the best -preserved Spanish colonial town in the whole of the Caribbean! Here we will slow down the pace and enjoy the magic of this beautiful area including the option to visit the national park and waterfalls on horseback or a Jeep Safari… and still go dancing in the evening! We have extended this holiday by one extra day to give more time in Trinidad due to popular demand from our guests! Cuba is a land full of contradictions, it plays with your senses, its authentic, addictive, exhilarating and one thing is certain… this holiday & Cuba will fulfil your dance potential and capture your soul. 🇨🇺 PACKAGE OPTIONS AND PRICES Due to a number of changes since Covid we have had to restructure the way we offer our packages to Cuba.
