Beyond the steps, it's about the rhythm. Join me to explore the grounded, powerful movements of Afro-Cuban dance and bring true soul to your salsa and mambo.

Here I'm demonstrating the "A Caballo" step with the styling of four different Orishas: Eleguá, Oyá, Changó, and Yemayá. It's the same base step, but with four unique energies, showing the infinite expression possible in Afro-Cuban dance.

In this video, we explore variations of the Obrero step, which is often performed to the Afro-Cuban rhythm Yongo. Adding these Afro-Cuban flavors, from steps to hand styling, brings a whole new groove and personality to your Salsa.

Want to add flavor to your Salsa? Let Afro-Cuban movement show you how. Here, we're exploring the basic Guerrero step, layered with arm movements inspired by different Orishas. These elements bring a grounded, earthy power to your dancing.

Today we're serving a side of thunder with movements inspired by Jebiosó. Incorporating this power into your Latin dance, especially in shines or fusions, injects drama and an earthiness that’s hard to ignore.

A fun moment from our Afro-Cuban class, serving sass and flair with some Ochún-inspired fan movements. We even had a special furry student join us for the fun. It's all about good times and good vibes.

A group photo from our Afro-Cuban class, full of sass, fan flair, and Ochún vibes. It's always a good time when we get to explore these cultural movements together.

This weekend, our Afro-Cuban class dove deep into the world of Afrekete, a spiritual dance connected to Yemayá. Her movements are prayers in motion, full of moonlit magic, elegance, and divine power.

A glimpse of our Afro-Cuban Rumba weekend classes. Rumba adds soul, rhythm, and cultural depth to Salsa. It’s not just flair; it’s what gives your dancing meaning and substance.

Today, we channel Chango, the fiery Orisha of thunder and drums, through Afro-Cuban movement. Fusing these bold, grounded, and powerful elements into your Salsa or Mambo adds culture, story, and soul.

This is Aluya, the fiery rhythm of Changó. In our Afro-Cuban classes, we explore these rhythms to develop a deeper connection to the music, enhancing body movement, coordination, and musicality.

About The Afro-Cuban Roots

When you start integrating Afro-Cuban elements—like the grounded posture of a Guerrero step or the fluidity of Rumba—you stop just counting beats and start being the music. My classes focus on these cultural building blocks, breaking down the specific Orisha-inspired movements so you can layer that signature sass and earthiness directly into your existing Salsa or Mambo routine.

I'm Alex. For me, dance is about understanding the story behind every move, whether we’re breaking down a tricky triple pulse or diving into the Orisha roots. I’ll help you move past just copying steps so you can actually feel the rhythm and express it with your own personal flair.
