Cuban Salsa Musicality – Body Movement & Expression

Do you want your Cuban salsa to feel more natural, expressive, and connected to the music?

In this module, we move from theory into movement and execution. We will focus on how to physically express the different sections of a Cuban timba song through body movement, timing, and energy. We will also go through the structure of timba / Cuban salsa and how to understand the different sections of the music.

The goal of this workshop is to help you move beyond steps and start dancing with the character, flow, and expression that define Cuban salsa.

During this session we will explore:

• Body movements used in Cuban timba

• How to adapt your movement to different sections of the music

• The quality and execution of typical Cuban salsa movements

• How to use your body to reflect the energy of the music

• Expression, flow, and natural movement in Cuban style

• Structure of timba music and understand the sections. 

We will work with Theory, practical exercises and guided practice, allowing you to develop more confidence, control, and authenticity in your dancing.

This module is ideal for dancers who want to refine their movement quality and learn how to express the music through their body.
