UMA DIP: ¡GUAPEA! Is geared towards folks who are in search of some extra flavor in their day to day through la Salsa Cubana, also known as “Casino”. In this program, folks will learn the history of Casino through conversations, basic steps, and body flow movement exercises that will help folks get comfortable with using their body as a tool to add sazón to their movement vocabulary and partner work. This is an excellent introduction for beginners who are looking to expand their knowledge on and off the dance floor and be awakened by the expansiveness that is la Salsa Cubana! Guapea is offered in both English and Spanish and no partner is required as we will utilize one another in the space. Get ready to work those caderas *hips ;)* and get out on the dance floor!

I’m excited to be teaching the vibrant style of Casino to our Philadelphia community and have folks experience one of the foundational styles of Salsa that started in casinos in Cuba and eventually evolved into backyards, streets, and essentially at social gatherings. As a Cuban woman, Salsa is a direct linkage to my culture and family and for that i’m overjoyed to curate a space at UMA where we can learn without judgment, gather with joy, y gozar! This is a playful and supportive environment and all are welcomed.
