Cuban Fusion with Rafael Ferrer from the CubanFusion.
This introductory workshop explores a range of Afro-Cuban dance styles including Salsa, Cha Cha Cha and Reggaeton. No partner or previous experience required. Like many other Latin dances Salsa has its roots in Cuba. Cha Cha Cha is the newcomer of Latin American Dances. The name is an imitation of the "rythm" from dancing Cuban side steps. Its a cheeky, lively and flirtatious dance. Reggeaton is a form of dance music which became popular in Latin American during the early 1990s. It blends Jamaican music influences of reggae and dancehall with those of Latin America, such as bomba and plena, as well as that of hip-hop.
Cazino.Com from CubanFusion formed literally the moment Rafael Ferrer landed in New Zealand in October 05, CubanFusion's performance troupe Cayion.Com showcases a range of Afro-Cuban dance styles from Rumba to Reggaeton and everything in between. Including Rumba, Son, Mambo Cha Cha Cha, Cuban Salsa/Casino and Reggaeton.
