Workshop Timetable – Stay Tuned for Updates as Timetable may change

***All Workshops cater for ALL levels of experience with our esteemed Cuban Dance & Music Masters
***ALL Afro-Cuban dances are the roots of Salsa and help you embody the rhythm and give context to the movements. If you are a professional dancer this will benefit your movement style and give you more fluidity. If you are a novice dancer, you will be amazed how your body will move more gracefully than what you had imagined.
