5-WEEK SON CUBANO COURSE
Welcome to Our Son Cubano Course – Roots, Musicality & Elegant Cuban Style
Refine your movement, deepen your musical understanding, and connect with the roots of Cuban dance in this immersive Son Cubano course. Designed for dancers with prior experience, this programme builds on foundational Cuban styles to explore the subtlety, control, and elegance that define Son.
You’ll develop a stronger sense of timing, partner connection, and musical interpretation while learning how to move with the understated sophistication that makes Son Cubano so distinctive. Expect a focus on posture, precision, and fluidity, where every step is intentional and every movement reflects the music.
More than just technique, this course invites you to embody the history and character of Son: its rhythm, its cultural richness, and its effortless style. Train in an environment that values both discipline and expression, helping you dance with confidence, authenticity, and refined artistry.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for intermediate to advanced salsa dancers who want to deepen their understanding of Cuban movement and musicality.
Whether you’ve completed our previous 5-week Son Cubano course or are joining us for the first time, you’ll find the content both accessible and enriching. Dancers who have trained with us before will continue to build on their foundation with greater depth and refinement, while new participants will be guided into the style in a way that allows them to integrate smoothly and confidently.
A solid grounding in salsa is recommended, along with a curiosity to explore a more nuanced, elegant, and musically grounded approach to partner dance.
What you will learn
We will work on solo movement and partner work, focusing on:
• Advanced variations, syncopated footwork and complex body isolations to elevate your technical level.
• Deepening musicality: dancing to intricate Son arrangements and understanding the clave structure.
• Advanced partner dynamics: connection, leading/following nuances, and authentic Son-style improvisation.
• Building your own style: developing signature movements and personal expression within the tradition.
• Exploring the deeper history, regional styles and cultural significance of Cuban Son.
• Performance presence: confidence, stage awareness and dancing with true artistry and sabor.
