Cuban Rhythms for Contemporary Dancers with Helen Calcutt

We’ll journey through key Cuban rhythms—Salsa on 1, Salsa on 2, and Rumba— exploring the dynamic interplay of lead and follow energies in group and partnerwork, the 'dial' of whole body musicality (from subtle to loud) and of course, footwork.
