Description
What if I can’t attend every week?
Absences from classes can be made up during the same term in any other weekly class. That way, no dance class goes to waste! Read more.
What should I bring with me?
For class, wear clothes that are comfortable to move in and feel good. You can dance in indoor sneakers, dance shoes, or just in your socks. Be sure to bring a water bottle, too.
Improvers (1–2 years of dance experience)
Improver level is suitable for dancers who have mastered the basics of couple salsa and can already dance fairly naturally with different partners. You’ve likely been dancing couple salsa weekly for about 1–2 years.
The classes focus on developing body movement and the fluidity of dancing with a partner, as well as practicing more challenging variations and combinations of basic steps.
Course content changes each season, so you can easily continue dancing at the improver level for several seasons. Continuing at the same level gives you the opportunity to strengthen your skills and keep learning new things.
All of Dance Studio Flama’s salsa partnerwork classes are in the Cuban style.
Anna Ketopaikka
Dancing captured Anna’s heart at an early age: she began taking dance lessons at age 5 in ballet classes at the Tampere Ballet School. Over the years, she continued her dance studies in genres such as jazz and show dance. Since 2010, Anna has focused intensively on Caribbean dances, particularly Cuban ones. She trained as a salsa instructor under the guidance of the Cuban Ramón Silverio and has been teaching dance 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.
