Level 1+ (0,5–1 )

In this course, we continue from where the autumn beginner course left off. The level is suitable for those who have mastered the basics of couple salsa and have attended weekly classes for about six months. The most common basics, such as enchufla, di le que no, di le que si, setenta, sacala and vacilala are already familiar to you. In this course, we continue with the basics as well as expand our knowledge by learning how to vary and combine the basics in new ways.

Anna Ketopaikka

Dance captured Anna’s heart at an early age: she started dancing at the age of 5 in Ballet classes at the Tampere Ballet Institute. Over the years, she continued to study dance, including Jazz and Show Dance. Since 2010, Anna has focused intensively on Cuban dances. She trained as a salsa instructor with Cuban Ramón Silverio and she has been teaching 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.
