Jos\u00e9&#8217;s workshop focuses specifically on rumba guaguanc\u00f3, one of the three main styles of Cuban rumba (yambu, guaguanc\u00f3, and columbia). It combines sexual tension, rhythmic intelligence, and Afro-Cuban identity. It is a flirtatious and playful dance that also includes a symbolic &#8220;approach&#8221; between partners, known as vacunao (vaccination).<br\/><br\/>   <\/p>\n\n<p>The class focuses on practicing rumba technique as a solo dance and is suitable for those who have mastered the basics of Cuban salsa.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salsa Solo<\/h3>\n\n<p>The class uses choreography to practice Cuban salsa step variations, body movement, and music interpretation.
