About the event
Dance and visual art share many points of connection, including movement, emotion, rhythm, and energy.
On three Thursday evenings this autumn, you are invited to try salsa. You will learn the fundamentals before taking to the dance floor in the South Light Hall, which will be transformed into a vibrant dance space for the occasion.
Dance instructors Guillermo Aponte and Anastasia Bohdanova come from backgrounds in Latin American dance and the performing arts. Together, they create a warm and energetic experience, giving participants the opportunity to discover the magic of dance within the museum’s unique setting. They are both active at Karamba Dance Studio.
Introductory Workshop, 17:30–18:30
We begin with a one-hour introduction to salsa, where you will learn the dance’s basic steps, rhythm, and feel. No previous experience is required.
Social Dancing, 18:30–19:30 pm
The evening continues with one hour of social dancing to salsa and bachata music, giving you the chance to put your newly acquired skills into practice. Come as you are – whether you are a beginner or a more experienced dancer, on your own or with friends. Practise, laugh, and enjoy!
