Cuban salsa lessons with an immersive musical experience

From 144.66 C$ /h

I offer Cuban salsa lessons for everyone, whether you are a woman, a man or a couple. With my experience as a percussionist in the salsa group Nolosé, which won 4 awards, including that of the best foreign group in Havana, I learned salsa dancing in Cuba. My teaching method is based on attentive listening to the music to create a dance in harmony with the energy released by the musicians.

Extra information

I incorporate live instruments into the music used for dancing.

About Me

From a mother musician, Laurent Cuénoud rubbed shoulders with instruments from an early age, trying his hand at flute, piano, trumpet and saxophone, which led him to the land of jazz.

A trip to Burkina Faso reveals to him the magic of African percussions. Engaged for the 25 performances of the Power Dance show at Barnabé, Laurent discovers the pleasures of the stage.

Having quickly succumbed to the charm of Cuban salsa, he learned the congas and founded the group Nolosé in 2004. The group performed more than 250 times, leading him on Swiss and foreign stages including the Havana festival in Cuba.

Lover of dance, Laurent learned Puerto Rican salsa with Mario Reisch, as well as Cuban with Alia Gachassin. Since then, Laurent has organized the “Salsa dance in Cuba” trip several times a year, which offers total immersion in the heart of Havana.

In 2015, Laurent gave his first dance lessons. His knowledge of Cuban music facilitates the integration of rhythm into dance steps. He also runs several musicology workshops with the aim of physically internalizing music.

For sure, you will be won over by his enthusiasm and energy.

For the benefit of a double educational training for children and adults, I can accompany you on the piano or with other percussion instruments so that each lesson is fun and rewarding.

I am an instructor in more than one domaine.
Although, I specialize in piano style musical composition, arranging, lyrics writing, and chord changes.

My students may choose what they want to learn since I am music/vocal teacher and also a modern dance instructor as well. In my dance classes, students can learn a style called "Funkstyles." They can learn Popping and Boogaloo, and some Locking also. My dance teachers are "Popin' Pete," and "Suga Pop," dancers of reknown, who also taught Michael Jackson how to do this style of dance.
They will learn the basics, and then intermediate courses, and then expert level courses.

Hi, I've been learning hip hop for 3 years now. I am 18 years old but I'm really passionate about teaching dance.

In class, I would like to focus on K-Pop. Not many people would be interested in this but I would like to introduce this type of dance to people.

A dance school and a company inserted in the Vaudois economic network since 2016. For its founder, Paolo, dance is more than a discipline, it is an art, an incredible and infinite communication tool.
The philosophy he has developed is based on freedom of movement, transdisciplinarity and sharing. He favors self-development that passes into self-confidence but also trust in others.
The collective is a source of inspiration. Indeed, our society gradually brings the individual to isolate himself.
This is why he seeks to use dance to break loneliness and help rebuild channels of communication to others but also to oneself. Coordination and musicality are all tools for weaving a link between everything around us and us.

The body speaks, it has things to tell us, listen, watch, share ...

Pilates increases strength, flexibility and improves posture, stability and body alignment. Small groups or individual sessions allow you to work on your own goals in a caring environment. At each session I pay particular attention to the quality of the movement.
Sedentary or high level athlete this method is accessible to all. It is effective for wound recovery, athletic performance, good posture and optimal health.

Teacher graduated by Polestar Pilates Studio, specialized in rehabilitation. I teach for almost two years in studios dedicated to the practice of Pilates and physiotherapy practices.

Having experienced first-hand the power of dance to shape people’s perspectives, I am enthusiastic about using my professional experiences, skills, and beliefs to educate new young dancers in the techniques, movements, and experiences of dance. I am also just as enthusiastic to share that beauty and power with the community, with recreational adult classes as well.

About how I teach, and why I started; I was looking for dance that was fun, liberating, and yet artistically challenging, all at the same time; I craved something that brought and demanded a more humane experience inside of the studio. My interest at the moment is to use our human experiences and bodies as they are. I’m not so interested in trying to force them into something else, but to allow that freedom to take us to whatever imaginary or fantastical place where dance should be able to take us. I believe my obligation as a dance teacher is to encourage students to have fun when dancing. It’s something that’s forgotten a lot as a budding artist, but one of the most important things for perseverance in this field.

I believe that if the curiosity, imagination, and enjoyment is there, the technique will come as well because there’s a mutual belief, from both the teacher and student, in oneself. Of course to learn a variety of dance styles, be technically proficient, and pursue a personal creative expression is important, but having an experience with a group of people and letting go into imagination while allowing yourself to have fun will push a dancer even further in their artistry, I believe. To be able to be given images, sensations, feelings, etc. and have the awareness to translate them into some form of movement is an important skill as an artist and human being

Dancing is a natural means of expression. So, learn to dance! It is almost impossible to listen to music and not be stirred to tap our feet, clap our hands, drum with our fingers, and sway with our bodies. We hum, sing, whistle, or bob our head. When we carry this innate response to its ultimate expression, we find ourselves dancing.

Learning to dance can be a personal challenge, a new interest and creative outlet that builds self confidence through a sense of achievement. When you learn the basic rhythms of dance, a delightful new world opens up. So, learn to dance today!

Hey there, My name is Danger Rodriguez and

As a Cuban Salsa instructor, my classes focus on teaching the fundamentals of Cuban-style salsa, also known as Casino salsa. My classes are designed to cater to dancers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced.

My classes emphasize the importance of rhythm and timing in Cuban salsa. We will cover the basic steps, footwork, turns, partner work, body movement, and styling. Understanding and interpreting the music through movement is vital to becoming a skilled salsa dancer.

I also strongly emphasize developing good technique, as this is crucial to executing more complex steps and turns safely and efficiently. Students will learn how to move smoothly and fluidly and how to lead and follow with confidence.

Finally, I strive to create a fun and supportive learning environment in my classes. I want my students to feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor and enjoy learning and improving their skills.

Treat yourself to a moment just for you! For over five years, I've been guiding women through belly dance classes, individually, in small groups of friends, or even online for those who prefer to dance from home. Belly dance is so much more than an art: it liberates the body and mind, brings grace and energy, and allows you to fully express refinement, elegance, and femininity. Whether you're a beginner or already passionate, I adapt to your pace and desires. The most important thing is to share a warm moment, move gently, and let the music speak for itself. Lessons are available at your home in the canton of Vaud or online, according to your preference.
