Music and dance are a fundamental part of everyday life in Cuba, breaking down barriers of culture and class.

Make a dream come true and dance Cuban salsa in Havana on this experience.

Cuban-style salsa, also known as Salsa Cubana or Casino, is a style of salsa that originated in Cuba featuring intricate turn patterns. It’s a set of Afro-Caribbean rhythms fused with jazz and other styles. It is undeniable that the roots of salsa are in Cuban music.

The Salsa is the most popular dance in Cuba and is a vital part of the music and energy that defines the country. Unlike other dance, Salsa is not professionally practiced but rather is something performed in free time and is a form of personal expression. There is much less emphasis on how the dance looks; it’s all about how it feels. For many people, this is what makes it so addictive.
