What if I can’t attend every week?<\/h3>\n

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.<\/a><\/p>\n

What should I bring with me?<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Cuban Salsa Partnerwork<\/h3>\n

Flama’s couple salsa lessons are all in the Cuban style. Cuban couple salsa is an energetic and joyful social dance. In the lessons, you’ll learn salsa rhythms, steps, body movement, and style, as well as typical patterns used in Cuban salsa.<\/p>\n

Cuban salsa is a social dance, which means that it is danced freely with different partners without any prearranged choreography. The classes teach the skills of leading and following, which is how dancers communicate through movement: the leader guides the dance with small body movements and hand signals, and the follower responds to them naturally. This allows for improvisation, living in the moment, and dancing with anyone\u2014even if you’ve never practiced together before.<\/p>\n

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-ch\u00e1, and other Cuban and Afro-Cuban rhythms and dances.<\/p>\n

Anna Ketopaikka<\/h3>\n

Dancing captured Anna\u2019s 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 Ram\u00f3n Silverio and has been teaching dance since 2014.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
