IN CLASS 

Latin Groove: 

In this class, we practice the essential steps and techniques of some Latin dance styles such as salsa, merengue, and reggaeton with a focus on groove and grounding. The warm up includes body isolations, and step drills. The routine allows participants to get the styles in their body and explore ways of self-expression. The class is designed to make the participants connect with themselves, with one another and explore their sense of musicality.

Afro-Brazilian:

This class is an introduction to the rich Afro-Brazilian culture through movement and expression. We will explore the powerful and expressive dance forms rooted in African traditions and their evolution within Brazilian culture. We will focus on the rooting principle, which enables us to be centered, connected with ourselves and our surroundings. This class aims at enhancing body as well as musical awareness.
