Casino
Casino, sometimes referred to as Salsa, builds upon earlier Cuban dance traditions. It integrates the foundational elements of Son with rhythmic footwork, playful partner exchanges, and fluid body movement, creating a lively and social dance experience that defines much of Cuban popular culture.
Son
Son is the heartbeat of Cuban music and dance, blending African rhythms with Spanish melodies. As the foundation for many Latin dance styles—including salsa and bachata—Son embodies the fusion of cultural influences that give the Buena Vista dance scene its rich and timeless character.
Rumba
Rumba celebrates Cuban culture through storytelling, rhythm, and community. Driven by powerful percussion and expressive movement, it balances strength and elegance while allowing room for improvisation, embodying the soul and spontaneity of Cuban dance heritage.
Cha Cha Cha
The Cha Cha Cha emerged as an evolution of Mambo and Danzón, distinguished by its signature syncopated triple step (cha-cha-cha). With its playful rhythm and universal appeal, this dance style quickly spread around the world, becoming an essential part of the Buena Vista dance repertoire.
Danzón
Danzón is known for its grace, refinement, and romantic elegance. Featuring intricate footwork and smooth, poised turns, it blends European classical influences with Afro-Cuban rhythms, representing one of the earliest and most sophisticated forms within the Buena Vista dance tradition.
