What is Mix Styling and 110%CUBANA - Authenticity & Sabor?
Styling with 110% CUBANA celebrates authenticity, rhythm, and expression.
This timeless approach to dance highlights musicality, coordination, and the art of connection between partners — whether dancing solo or in pairs.
What You’ll Learn in This 2-Hour Workshop:
These progressive workshops are designed to develop your technique, confidence, and personal style — whether you dance solo or with a partner. Suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced dancers, you’ll gain insights into Cuban movement, musical interpretation, and expressive freedom.
Styling & Technique: Add flair to your dancing with refined body movement, partner interaction, arm coordination, and precise footwork.
Each 2-hour session includes: Hour 1: Technique — body movement, posture, arm & hand styling, isolation, coordination, and partner interaction.
Hour 2: Creative application — footwork, styling, musicality, routine building, choreo and partner practice inspired by Salsa Casino, Timba, Afro-Cuban, Son, and Rumba.
Optional filmed group choreography during the final workshop. A WhatsApp group will be available to share music, videos, and insights.
