About
us
Salsa
The music is filled with rhythms, improvisation and energy. It
is also a great source of freeing your mind and having fun. The
word 'salsa' means sauce and the music and the dance is called
so because of the spicy and tasty mixture of influences from many
different rhythms and dances. Read more about the history of salsa
- click
here
You can both dance in couples and single. You dance in single
with connection to how you dance in couples sometimes and also
when you dance as a group together
You will also try other dances such as cha-cha-cha, Afro-Cuban
dances, meringue and rumba
There are Beginners course and Advanced 1 - Advanced 6 and a
show group. We dance both in couples and single. In the Beginners
course the steps are carefully explained how to take them to the
music. We then learn how to move the entire body while we dance
and then how to lead and follow your partner in the dance. You
will also learn about the feeling of the music and how to improvise
with the things you have learned
On the advanced courses you will learn more about how to use advanced
things like dips&tricks, styling, poses, interpretation of
music, timing, expression and charisma. There are a lot to learn
which we beleive to be inspiring. Just as inspiring when you have
already gotten a head a bit in the beginners class and are capable
to go out on salsa clubs and have fun and on other events. A tip
is to enjoy the level you are in and to have fun with what one
has learned. When one has finsihed our beginners class one has
enough knowledge to have as much fun as one wants to have and
even if you choose not to continue on an advanced class you can
still go out dancing and have fun
On all levels we teach steps, patterns of turns and technique
that are retrieved from the different salsa styles that exist.
For example maybe at one occasion you will be taugt a pattern
of turns from one style and the next time you will learn another
pattern from another style. You wont learn a mixed style instead
you will learn several other styles. In this way you will get
a broad repertoire that will work just as well in Sweden as in
lets say Latin-America or New York, or where ever you would want
to dance :-)
A rough division into styles would be: crossbody = styles danced
on a line with your partner on one or the other side of you and
cuban/circle/latinamerican = styles where you dance around each
other
The different styles have a clear and common base. The more you
dance the more you get to learn about what it is that characterizes
the different styles. You will also learn how to mix between the
diverse styles

Oriental dance - Bellylatina
 Belly
dancing with flavor of Latin America. We dance like Shakira and
Beyonce and mix the mystical orient movements with the hot latin
rhythms
Reggaeton (gasolina)
 Reggaeton
is a type of music (maybe you´ve heard the song Gasolina
by Daddy Yankee) that has developed a free dance style with many
cool moves. You move the whole body with the rhythm. You dance
in single Everybody can dance, we take it from basic. You will
learn how to move all parts of your body and then how to shake
and find the groove to the music with the entire body :-)

African Dance
 There
are 3 categories of traditional african dances
The first category reflects on the day to day experiences and
historical events that the African people have experienced throughout
the centuries. The day to day experiences are marked by those
animals who are a part of their world, the different elements
(wind, fire, water and earth) and the daily activities like picking
berries and grinding flour. Historical events could be migration
or the search for cultivable land
The second category is worshiping, that is to say the dances that
have evolved to show reverence to the many different gods och
to show gratitude towards life
The third category is the war dances of which purpose is to mark
territory, show strength and pride and to be intimidating
On the course you learn different steps and movements within
the categories mentioned above. You dance solo. You move a lot
and work on jumps and movements with hips, chest and shoulders.
The music is from CDs and we use everything from live recordings
of drums to more popular african music. The music and movements
are really compelling and they will give you a boost of energy
:-)
Samba
Samba comes from Brazil and dances to captivating and groovy
music! We dance a mix of Riosamba and Sambareggae. You dance in
single and will learn different basic steps and how you will increase
the speed of your feet. We shake the hips and learn how to move
different parts of the body. You will also learn about the music
and how to improvise
Latin Street Dance
You will learn a choreography, a mix of jazzdance, streetdance,
salsa, mambo, merengue, chachacha and samba. You will dance in
single and learn different steps and moves which we combine into
a choreography

in Lund in September and at our own dance evenings. See pictures

must master one level to be able to attend a higher and more advanced
level. We have plenty of dancing to music so it will never get
boring if you decide to attend the same level once again
We
are grateful if the shoes that you will be dancing in are clean
indoor shoes and that they won't leave any marks on the floor
Some
things to think about to show consideration to the one you dance
with:
* Clothes - if possible use newly washed clothes
* Chewing gum- gives a better sence of breath. Mouth spray or
similar gives the same result
* Nails - nails that are trimmed and short produce a lesser chance
to scrath the one you dance with. Given that it is the man who
leads, there is a greater risk that it is the man who scratches
the woman than vice versa
The
volume of the music on the courses is relatively low. The instructors
have to be able to make themlves heard without raising their voice
and shout to much. If you feel that the volume is to loud please
let us know. Even if the volume at salsa clubs is relativetly
low compared to regulare clubs we recommend that you use earplogs
when you go out dancing. We who work with dance can not risk our
hearing and you will get use to earplugs
We
are connected to Kamratkortet
About us

We love to teach dance because of it´s great potential.
Through the dance people of all ages and cultures get together.
We go out dancing, go to parties and have great fun. The music
is full of inspiration and energy. Dancing is very good exercise
in a fun way and you practice body control, co-ordination, flexibility
and balance. All of these things leads to that one can really
relax and just be swept away by the dance. Read more about the
