Salsa II

In this follow-up course, the possibilities of the LA-style are further explored. The turns will become faster and the routines more difficult. Attention will also be paid to Men and Lady Styling, where we will pay attention to posture, balance and footwork. A dance partner is not necessary, but does make it easier. After the course you are ready to dance with anyone at a Salsa/Bachata party!

About the teacher

Carla Jiménez Estévez is an Austrian/Dominican dance teacher. In 2019 she graduated from the Academy of Theatre and Dance. Carla has travelled around the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Senegal where she gained a lot of experience with Afro-Caribbean rhythms and local dance styles. She puts all this experience in her lessons of Salsa & Bachata.

Wes Bodha started taking Salsa classes from dance legend Cacho Santos Zuni at the Griffioen in 1999. After that, he also immersed himself in other dance styles such as Bachata, Zouk and Kizomba. For Wes, Salsa is not only a passion, but also a mindset. In his classes you will not only grow as a dancer, but also as a person.
