These workshop are meant for beginners, so you do not need to have any previous dance experience. There will be three different solo classes, so now you have a possibility to try different styles and find your own favorite! The classes are suitable for everyone, regardless of gender and age.
The workshops are instructed by Anna Ketopaikka.
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!
The roots of salsa can be traced back to Afro-Caribbean rhythms such as Cuban Son and Afro-Cuban music. 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. At Flama, we dance Cuban salsa.
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.
