Description
What if I can’t participate every week?
Absences from classes can be made up during the same term in any other class or drop-in session. This way, no dance session will be wasted! Read more.
What should I bring with me?
For the class, it is recommended to wear clothes that are comfortable to move around in. You can dance with indoor sneakers, dance shoes, or socks. Also take a water bottle with you and remember to drink enough after class.
Parisalsa Styling
At its best, Cuban couple salsa is a playful dialogue between two dancers—a back-and-forth exchange, reactions, and a shared flow in time with the music. This course delves into the stylistic nuances of Cuban couple salsa and explores how to infuse the dance with more expression, personality, and delightful details.
We’ll practice various styling elements, such as the use of hands and torso, as well as small accents that make the dance look more natural and musical. The goal is for the stylization to fit naturally into leading and following and to work in interaction with the partner — without losing the connection or the flow of the dance.
In this course, you’ll learn new ways to spice up your dancing and add more playfulness, rhythm, and personal flair to it.
This course is suitable for dancers who are already comfortable with social dancing and want to develop their own style in partner salsa.
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.
