You'll also learn about Cuban styled Salsa music. What's the difference in styles? In our regular classes we teach linear Salsa (up & down a line) whereas Cuban styled Salsa is circular based. This style is popular in many countries inc: South America, Cuba, Miami USA & gaining more popularity in many areas in Europe. It's worth learning about this style of dancing if you plan to travel overseas and also to broaden your Salsa knowledge & dancing.
