BASICS OF CUBAN SON FOR COUPLES intensive course: from 13.00 to 16.00
Son is the “mother” of salsa. This Cuban dance and music genre was born in Eastern Cuba in the late 19th century. It reached Havana in the early 20th century and soon took over the entire island.
Son is more easygoing than salsa and there are less turns and figures than in salsa. Other major differences are the rhythm of the steps and body movements.
In this course we will practice the basics of son: steps, rhythm, simple figures, leading and following.
Welcome to join us for a romantic adventure into the wonderful world of son!
Here’s a video link for inspiration!

VILI MUSTALAMPI: BODY RHYTHM WORKSHOP WITH CUBAN RHYTHMS 1+2
intensive courses from 13.45 to 15.45 and from 16.00 to 18.00
Have you ever dreamed of learning Cuban rhythms? Or are you a dancer and would like to understand more about the music you dance to? Or maybe you sometimes have difficulties in finding the number one, or maybe you want to know whether to dance son or salsa 🙂
COME DISCOVER CUBAN RHYTHMS through your own body with the guidance of Finland’s Latin Music Ambassador VILI MUSTALAMPI! We will combine the rhythms of the instruments with the dance steps. You don’t need an instrument, let alone the ability to play it! We will do all the exercises using our own body.
- If you want to learn the basics or want a refresher: Join Body Rhythm Workshop 1 at 13.45-15.45. We will practice e.g. basic comp for clave and bass.
- Body Rhythm Workshop 2 at 16.00-18.00 is for those who want to deepen their skills. We will learn more rhythms of son and salsa music instruments: maracas, guitar, tres… Dance steps are still included in the exercises, so your connection between music and dance will deepen even more.
Vili Mustalampi is known as an artist publishing Finnish Latin music and he is also the principal of the Rumba Academy, a music school specializing in Cuban music.
The number of participants is limited in order to guarantee the quality of teaching and also allow for individual guidance.
