What is Cuban salsa (Casino)? Cuban salsa stands out as a circular, playful and organic dance. Instead of dancing in a straight line, couples move in circles around each other. The style has roots in Afro-Cuban dances and traditional Cuban son, and is all about flow, connection, energy and the joy of dancing.

About the instructor The course is led by Holmlia local Carina Bergh, who has extensive experience in movement, rhythm and teaching. With 15 years in the salsa community, you’ll receive supportive, expert guidance.

As leader and choreographer of the Rueda group Fuerza Femenina, she has led the team to compete in the world championships. She also teaches through the group Fuerza Casino. The focus of the classes is that salsa and dancing should first and foremost be a source of joy. Bring a good mood and shoes that are comfortable to move in. We look forward to dancing with you!
