Frequently Asked Questions about Cuban Salsa in Amsterdam
What is Cuban Salsa and how is it different from other salsa styles?
Cuban salsa, also known as salsa cubana or Casino, is the original form of salsa that originated in Cuba. Unlike LA-style or New York-style salsa that are danced in lines, Cuban salsa is danced in a more circular motion. It emphasizes the connection between partners, improvisation, and includes the famous rueda de casino where couples dance in a circle.
What is Rueda de Casino?
Rueda de Casino is a group dance where couples form a circle and dance Cuban salsa together. One person calls out moves, and all couples perform them simultaneously, often switching partners. It's a fun, social way to dance Cuban salsa and is very popular in Amsterdam's salsa scene.
Where can I learn Cuban Salsa in Amsterdam?
Amsterdam has a vibrant Cuban salsa scene with many workshops and classes available. Salsa te Gusta is a leading academy offering lessons for all levels in a warm community environment. Many events also combine workshops with social dancing, making them perfect for beginners and experienced dancers alike.
When are the best Cuban Salsa events in Amsterdam?
Cuban salsa events happen throughout the week in Amsterdam. Popular recurring events include weekly socials on Fridays, outdoor rueda sessions, and themed parties. Summer months often feature more outdoor events and festivals. Check our weekly updated list to find the best Cuban salsa events happening this week!
Do I need a partner to attend Cuban Salsa events?
No! Most Cuban salsa events in Amsterdam are very welcoming to solo dancers. The community is friendly and partner rotation is common, especially in rueda de casino. Many events start with workshops where you'll learn with different partners, followed by social dancing where everyone mixes.
What should I wear to Cuban Salsa events?
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely and shoes that let you turn easily. Many dancers prefer leather-soled shoes or dance sneakers. For outdoor events like the rueda sessions in Noordermarkt, dress for the weather but keep dance-ability in mind!
