Calling our own dance style Timba is a relatively new development. What we mean very specifically is that we also express this musical diversity in our dancing. We give our dance a modern touch. We consciously use styling elements in partnerwork more creatively.
We also add small solo parts to our partner dance. Whenever the music invites it, we draw on elements from other dance traditions, such as Rumba, Yoruba, Reggaeton, and many more. For us, dancing Timba means: listening, responding, and keeping the rich universe of Cuban dance culture alive—on the dance floor, in the moment, with the music.
