A hot summer evening and a fun salsa experience awaits you on Saturday, the 1st of August, in the stunning setting of Kaivohuone in Naantali!
The evening kicks off with an engaging beginner’s class in couple salsa, where you can get a taste of salsa steps in a relaxed setting. The class is led by Anna Ketopaikka, founder of Tanssistudio Flama. No prior dance experience is necessary!
After the dance, enjoy a delicious buffet dinner while spectacular dance performances set the mood for the evening. As the night goes on, the dance floor fills with rhythm as the Grupo Kaney salsa band and DJ Papi get the party going. Get ready for authentic Cuban energy, live music, and an unforgettable salsa party atmosphere that lasts until the small hours of the night.
At Kaivo Summer Fiesta, you’ll learn new moves, enjoy great food, and groove to Cuban rhythms—come experience the thrill of salsa dancing for the first time, or fall in love with it all over again!
You can join us alone, with a friend, or even with your partner. In the beginner’s salsa class, we switch partners in a circle, and Flama makes sure the pairs are balanced. If you prefer, you can also dance only with your own partner.
