Cuban Salsa Partnerwork, improvers (18 sessions), Thursdays 14.1.–20.5. at 20.15–21.10, instructed by Anna Ketopaikka

Attention! Unfortunately, the spots for the followers without their own dance partner have already been taken. There are currently only places for leaders and pairs. To be informed about possible changes, please contact us by email: info@flama.fi.

In this course we will deepen our knowledge from basic couple salsa patterns to slightly more challenging variations and patterns. We also focus more on bodywork. Welcome to enjoy the wonderful swirls of salsa!

Course is suitable for those who have been dancing Cuban partner salsa weekly for about one or two years—for example, those who have completed Flama’s Level 1+ couple salsa course.

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.

Description

What if I can’t attend every week?

Absences from classes can be made up during the same term in any other weekly class. That way, no dance class goes to waste! Read more.

What should I bring with me?

For class, wear clothes that are comfortable to move in and feel good. You can dance in indoor sneakers, dance shoes, or just in your socks. Be sure to bring a water bottle, too.

Improvers (1–2 years of dance experience)

Improver level is suitable for dancers who have mastered the basics of couple salsa and can already dance fairly naturally with different partners. You’ve likely been dancing couple salsa weekly for about 1–2 years.

The classes focus on developing body movement and the fluidity of dancing with a partner, as well as practicing more challenging variations and combinations of basic steps.

Course content changes each season, so you can easily continue dancing at the improver level for several seasons. Continuing at the same level gives you the opportunity to strengthen your skills and keep learning new things.

All of Dance Studio Flama’s salsa partnerwork classes are in the Cuban style.

Anna Ketopaikka

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.
