Reparto, beginners (16 sessions), Mondays 24.8.–7.12. at 16.15–17.10, instructed by Emma Hirvonen

Welcome to dance energetic reparto! In this beginner’s class, we’ll practice various reparto techniques starting from the very basics and dance short choreographies. Reparto, which is currently gaining huge popularity around the world, is a subgenre of Cuban reggaeton, also known as cubaton. It originated in the slums and is particularly popular among the so-called lower classes and young people. Reparto is a fast-paced music style whose rhythm is based on the clave rhythm of Cuban rumba, and many of the dance moves are also built around this same rhythm.

This course is suitable for beginners. You can join without any previous dance experience.

My roots take me to the cold north, but deep down inside, Cuban rhythms have melted my heart.

Dance has been a part of my life throughout my life, and my most important teachers have been the respected maestros and dancers Indira and Yunier Garcia, from whom I have learned both in Finland (for the first time in 2016) and in Cuba, as well as Hanna Terán, with whom I had my first childhood dance experiences and under whose guidance I have grown as a dancer ever since.

I teach Cuban popular dances, including step and body movement techniques based on casino (couple salsa). In my classes, the focus is shifted away from rigid choreography towards a grounded and authentic movement language. In solo classes, students learn to interpret and express different qualities of dance and to combine them naturally. In my teaching, it is important to me to always respect the origins and cultural context of dance. Progress in the courses is made with respect for the dialogue between learning and repetition, i.e., internalizing things and then letting them sink in, understanding that everyone learns at their own pace.

In my teaching, I combine gentle and technically precise guidance. I approach dance with the understanding that we are a whole. Our breathing is an essential part of movement, and with it, relaxation is like opening up a new dimension to dance
