3 dance styles

Salsa

Salsa dance was popularized in the 1960s. It was primarily developed by Puerto Ricans and Cubans living in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Different regions of Latin America (including countries in the Caribbean) and the USA have distinct salsa styles: Puerto Rican, NY, LA, Colombian, Cuban.

It is a latin dance where the leader takes the follower through a series of spins and turn patterns to music. (Partnerwork classes, spin class) Salsa can also be danced solo (footwork, styling, shines, body movement). We differenciate 2 major dance styles at elSol. NYC and LA salsa are danced in a more linear way (we call this Crossbody Salsa), while Cuban and Colombian styles are danced in a more circular fashion. Salsa means power, energy, flow, musicality, speed, connection between the dancers and their individual connection with the music.

Cuban

This style originated in Cuba. Cuban salsa is danced by leader and follower in a circular fashion. Under the term Cuban (dances) we also understand a very rich culture of various dances that have influenced salsa: afro cuban dances, son, timba, reggaeton, reparto, rumba, danzon, cha cha cha..
Currently in Europe dancers prefer to have separate dance floors and DJs for Cuban Salsa and Salsa Crossbody (NY, LA styles). But they can also compliment each other and dancers can dance to all of salsa music. At elSol you’ll find 2 separate floors and each salsa style las 3 blocks of separate classes.

Bachata

Bachata dance originated in the 1960s in the Dominican Republic. Its basic step is called Box Step and it is danced on a pattern of a square. Currently bachata is danced all over the world where everyone adds their own influence. Bachata has absorbed zouk, contemporary, salsa and street dance elements. The modern Bachata Sensual or Bachata Moderna basic version is is counted to 4 -3 steps and tap from one side to the other. In more a advanced version partners dance a lot of sensual moves including waves, head rolls, leadable body isolations wi as well as turn patterns and turns.
At elSol we offer bachata dominicana (traditional), bachata moderna, bachata sensual and bachata fusion.

Meet more than 200 artists from all over the world!
