Step into the Magic of Cuban Son: A Weekend of Dazzling Dance and Delightful Connection

Transport Yourself to the 1920s Cuba – Immerse in Elegance, Precision, and Passion
Join us in Augsburg for an unforgettable Son Weekend that will transport you to the vibrant, pulsating streets of 1920s Cuba. Feel the warm Caribbean breeze, hear the lively rhythms of Son music echoing through cobblestone alleys, and see colorful façades bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun. Immerse yourself in Cuba’s dance halls, where every movement exudes the elegance and precision of Son. This unique event is one of the few Son gatherings worldwide, offering an exceptional opportunity for both learning and celebration.

Beginner Level:
You always wanted to learn Son from the beginning and having a good fundament? This is the perfect opportunity to start from 0 and built up your knowledge and repertoire in Son! As in rhythm, instruments, movement, figures and more. We recommend this level to dance experienced people (Salsa Dancers), that had no or only a few classes in Son. As you stay in one level and will learn in a very structured way, this is going to be a very unique and wonderful learning experience.
Intermediate Level:
You know how to dance in “contratiempo” and you feel most of the time confident dancing in this rhythm. You already took a few Son classes/workshops and you have solid basic repertoire or more than that. You want to learn more details, repertoire, technique and the right cadence, then this level is a very good choice for you.

Unique Advanced Level / Master Formation:
In this advanced level we expect you to already have a high level in son, dance experience in it and you feel very confident dancing “contratiempo”. Here we will give you more specific details, more background information(origins), personalised feedback, teaching methods, theoretical notes and a participation certificate.
If you are not sure, if this level suits you, you can always contact us!
