This is not your regular Salsa Class.
Salsa music is rich and complex. It is more than just counts, it has it’s own heartbeat known as the clave.
But do we really understand the clave? Or Tumbao?
Go beyond just learning turn patterns. Salsa has a natural swing rooted by the foundations of afro latin rhythms. By connecting to the music you can gain a deeper understanding of movement and flow.
