Who is the course suitable for?

Is this course right for me?

This is an open class. The class is structured so that you don't need any prior knowledge of Afro-Cuban dances, but it is also interesting for those who already have previous experience. There is always something new to discover.

Here's what you'll learn:

Learning objectives

Folklore is power, elegance, grounding, and freedom. You work on body awareness, rhythm, musicality, posture, and coordination — building a deeper connection to your body and your movement. Because Afro-Cuban dances are the origin of so many Cuban styles, this course is also one of the most intensive and sustainable movement trainings you can find.
