What is Son Cubano?

Son is a traditional Cuban partner dance originating in the eastern provinces of Cuba in the late 19th century. By the 1930s it had become Cuba’s national rhythm and dance blending West African Hispanic and local creole influences. Renowned for its elegance and sophistication Son is danced contra-tiempo with a slower more refined style than contemporary salsa.

You’ll master the essential footwork and movements including desplazamientos caídas planchas and tornillos while exploring the rich history behind this beautiful dance.
