CALI SALSA
A mix of boogaloo, mambo, cumbia, pachanga and traditional Colombian dances (mapalé, joropo), this dynamic dance is characterized by a complex legwork and syncopated body movements. Shoulder flexibility, hips swaying, accelerated movements of legs... discover the basic steps and movements of Colombian salsa!

COLOMBIAN CUMBIA
Synonymous of cadence, elegance and subtlety, this dance originating in Colombia in the 17th century is the result of the melting pot of three cultures (slaves from Africa, Native Indians and Spanish settlers). Discover the basic steps and figures of traditional cumbia, and then modern cumbia which is danced in the whole Latin America, to the sound of drums, guazas, gaitas and flutes!

The objective of these courses is to learn how to dance alone and to acquire basic notions to re-use alone or in groups.

L’objectif de ces stages est d’apprendre à danser seul et d’acquérir les notions de base à réutiliser seul ou en groupe.
