An insight on Miami Salsa

Many Salsa classes offer instruction in a strictly LA or Cuban style, with passionate advocates on each side. These two styles represent only a snapshot of the global salsa community. Salsa is a melange of styles developed over time, from a rich history of cultures and communities around the world.

Miami salsa is a blend of Cuban LA styles. It envolved during the influx of Cubans in Miami in the 80's and has grown in popularity ever since. We incorporate the circular moves and body isolations of Cuban, with technique, elegance and speed of LA. Miami salsa involves both partner work and rueda, drawing the roots of salsa and synergy with advanced moves and technical expertise. This will open up your options on the dancefloor and help you connect with dancers from both LA and Cuban Styles.
