Cross body salsa (also known as salsa en línea) is one of the most popular styles of salsa in Europe and North America. It differs from Cuban salsa (casino), for example, primarily in the direction of movement: in cross body salsa, the couple dances in a straight line (linea), while in Cuban salsa, the movement progresses in a circular pattern as the couple turns around each other. There are two styles of cross-body salsa: LA style (Los Angeles), which is danced on1, meaning the step begins on beat 1, and NY style (New York, on2), where the step begins on beat 2. This workshop will focus on LA style.
In 2018, Giuseppe started dancing salsa and bachata in Italy, about six months before moving to Finland. Since then, dance has been a big part of Giuseppe’s life. Over the years, he has focused especially on bachata and has had the opportunity to train with international artists, such as Ataca and La Alemana. Giuseppe has also completed their dance teacher training, which dives deeper into their signature style, Bachata Moderna – a smooth, expressive and dynamic style of bachata.
“Whether it’s your first time dancing or you’ve already taken a few steps before, my goal is to help you feel comfortable, connect with your dance partner, and above all, enjoy the music and have fun on the dance floor,” says Giuseppe.
