Palenke Cuban Dance

This 4-week (6-hour) progressive series is dedicated to learning Rueda de Casino! Week by week, you'll build up your Rueda de Casino repertoire, starting with learning Rueda technique, history, and foundational moves. From there, we’ll create our own Rueda de Casino choreography together with transitions, turns, and a lot of swag! This structure ensures you'll finish the 4 weeks with a greater understanding of Rueda de Casino, while deepening your musicality and community connection. Expect a lot of fun, laughter, and plenty of flavor!

Join us for a 5-week bachata choreography challenge! In this series, you will learn bachata technique, musicality, footwork, and partner work that will be translated into a choreography. The experience will culminate in an optional video or in-person performance opportunity. Bachata experience is helpful but not mandatory. No partner required.

In a landscape where salsa entered the studio dance world and somehow came out on2, we’re asking the bold questions: What if bachata did the same...but we made it make cultural sense? Join us for an exciting workshop where we dance bachata on2! Not to start a new, exclusive movement that we can commodify, but to explore how to connect with cultural dancers on a deeper level and to understand how timing affects the feeling of a dance. Spoiler : people in the culture have always danced on multiple timings for both bachata and “salsa.” We’re just naming one and going with it for a bit. Come for the good vibes, stay for the cultural unpacking!
