Salsa is inspired by many Afro-Caribbean rhythms, such as the Cuban Son, Mambo, Cuban Rumba and Danzón. Salsa music has developed in many areas at the same time throughout its history: both in the 1960s New York and in other countries of the American continent. Many different styles and trends have evolved from Salsa. At Flama, we dance Cuban Salsa.
Salsa is a happy and energetic dance where the main thing is to have fun to the rhythm of catchy music. In the beginners’ classes, you can have fun to the rhythms of Salsa, practice the basic steps and technique of it as well as bodywork and rhythm. Salsa Solo is a fun way to enjoy music and movement.
Reggaeton is a Latin dance and music style born in the 1990s and it has been influenced by different dance styles, for example South and Middle American dances, such as Dancehall, various Afro dances as well as Hip Hop. The roots of the Reggaeton dance are for example in Panama, Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Reggaeton is characterized by strong dynamic fluctuations, polyrhythmics and playing with chest and hip isolation in particular. Both strong accents and soft sensual movements are present and they alternate in Reggaeton. Reggaeton classes are full of power, energy and attitude!
Bachata is a sensual and emotional dance and music style that is originally from the Dominican Republic. Today, Bachata is a very popular dance with different styles: traditional Dominican style, Sensual Bachata and Bachata Fusion that combines different styles.
In Bachata Solo classes, you learn step variations and foot technique, body movements, styling and musicality. At Flama, the bachata classes are mainly based on Sensual Bachata and Bachata Fusion. Bachata music is full of emotions and offers a lot of possibilities for various styling.
