Body Movement & Isolations

Class Details

Cuban motion, "counter-position" body movements and isolations are the foundations of a great, versatile salsa dancer. Without proper body movement, the steps look flat and mechanical. Your dance comes to life when body isolations are added to the basic salsa steps, making the dancer's movements look beautiful, fluid and graceful. Each class includes a breakdown of how to isolate body parts such as the ribcage, shoulders and hips and specific stretches to encourage this type of movement. You will learn special exercises and practice techniques which focus on how to incorporate Cuban motion and latin movement into your basic reggaeton, bachata, afro-cuban, cha cha cha and salsa steps, to make these dances look authentic and not mechanical!

He teaches in such a way that you would never forget a step. He also teaches proper body movements. I still have a long ways to go but I am getting there, slowly but surely. I would highly recommend Fiesta Cubana to whoever is interested in taking Latin dancing. Thank you Orlando

I was looking for a salsa class in Edmonton, and I was recommended by a friend. And I sure am thankful that he is my first salsa class instructor. He knows what to do and doesn’t waste any time. He also has profound knowledge on the history and origins of the salsa dance and because of that it feels a lot more organic. I am excited to learn more from him, and I highly recommend him!
