Cuban salsa is based in particularly on Cuban son: a music and dance style from the early 20th century that combines African rhythms (e.g., clave, call and response structure, percussion instruments) and Spanish melodic influences (e.g., guitars, singing). Cuban salsa is a rich mix of music and movement, with influences from Cuban rumba, mambo, cha-cha-chá, and other Cuban and Afro-Cuban rhythms and dances.
Salsa is a happy and energetic dance where the main thing is to have fun to the rhythm of catchy music. Salsa Solo is a fun way to enjoy music and movement.
Minna, whose stage name is Dance Euphoria, is a versatile dance teacher based in Turku. Starting out with the open-mindedness of a contemporary dancer, her dance journey has taken her from the world of West African dance to the Caribbean, to places where dance lives on the streets and in people’s homes, offering self-expression, freedom, and resistance. Dance is not just steps, it is above all culture and shared joy!
As a teacher, Minna strives to inspire and encourage her students, believing that everyone has the opportunity to exceed their limits and learn something new through dance. Regardless of the dance style, Minna wants to dance with all her heart and pass on the joy of dancing to others.
During Flama’s weekly classes, Minna teaches bachata solo, Cuban salsa solo, Jamaican female dancehall, and West African street dances. The Caribbean mix class offers a constantly changing selection of different styles from the Caribbean – from rumba and son to soca and reparto!
