In this course, we practice music interpretation, body movements, figures and the techniques of leading and following in Cuban Salsa.
This course is suitable for those who have been dancing Cuban salsa as a couple at least once a week for at least a couple of years.
You can sign up either alone or with your own partner. During the lessons, partners are changed in a circle. If you wish, you can also dance only with your own partner.
Anyone can participate in all Flama´s partner classes as a leader or follower, regardless of gender identity.

Intermediate-level classes are suitable for dancers who have a solid grasp of the basics of couple salsa and can smoothly combine familiar steps with different partners. You’ve likely been dancing salsa with a partner regularly for about 2–3 years.
In intermediate-level classes, students learn new steps and their variations, and work on improving their fluidity, technique, and body control. Greater emphasis is placed on the precision of leading and following, as well as on how to adapt and combine familiar movements in response to the music.
The topics and content of intermediate-level classes vary from season to season. This means you can continue at the same level for several seasons and develop your dance skills in a well-rounded way without rushing to the next level.
All of Dance Studio Flama’s salsa partnerwork classes are in the Cuban style.
Dancing captured Anna’s heart at an early age: she began taking dance lessons at age 5 in ballet classes at the Tampere Ballet School. Over the years, she continued her dance studies in genres such as jazz and show dance. Since 2010, Anna has focused intensively on Caribbean dances, particularly Cuban ones. She trained as a salsa instructor under the guidance of the Cuban Ramón Silverio and has been teaching dance since 2014.
“I founded Flama out of a burning passion for dance and movement. Dance has brought so much energy, strength, presence and dear friends to my life and I want to be able to share this pleasure to others as well. In my classes, I want to inspire people above all to find strength and joy in everyday life through dance.”
At Flama, Anna teaches Cuban Salsa (solo and couple salsa) and other Cuban dances, such as son and rumba, as well as bachata and reggaeton.
