Cuban solo salsa<\/h3>\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

Salsa is a happy and energetic dance where the main thing is to have fun to the rhythm of catchy music. Salsa Solo is a fun way to enjoy music and movement.<\/p>\n

Emma Hirvonen<\/h3>\n

My roots take me to the cold north, but deep down inside, Cuban rhythms have melted my heart.<\/p>\n

Dance has been a part of my life throughout my life, and my most important teachers have been the respected maestros and dancers Indira and Yunier Garcia, from whom I have learned both in Finland (for the first time in 2016) and in Cuba, as well as Hanna Ter\u00e1n, with whom I had my first childhood dance experiences and under whose guidance I have grown as a dancer ever since.<\/p>\n

I teach Cuban popular dances, including step and body movement techniques based on casino (couple salsa). In my classes, the focus is shifted away from rigid choreography towards a grounded and authentic movement language. In solo classes, students learn to interpret and express different qualities of dance and to combine them naturally. In my teaching, it is important to me to always respect the origins and cultural context of dance. Progress in the courses is made with respect for the dialogue between learning and repetition, i.e., internalizing things and then letting them sink in, understanding that everyone learns at their own pace. <\/p>\n

In my teaching, I combine gentle and technically precise guidance. I approach dance with the understanding that we are a whole. Our breathing is an essential part of movement, and with it, relaxation is like opening up a new dimension to dance <\/p>\n
