Coronavirus – salsa still on!

Smilie, Smiley, Emoji, Mouth Guard, Respiratory Mask

Some of you may be wondering what the status is of Thursday night salsa given the current situation with coronavirus.

Casa Cubana takes the health of of our dancers seriously, and as such we are monitoring the situation closely. At the moment the current advice is that public events should proceed, but it is strongly recommended that people that are unwell should not attend. This is particularly so for people who have recently travelled from overseas.

So on that note, classes and social dancing will continue as normal until further notice. We ask that people heed the advice above as well as exercise good hygiene practices by washing their hands with soap and  water before and after class, and after dancing with anyone socially.

See you on the dance floor!

AfroCuban & Cuban Dance Festival – Sydney 11th – 13th October 2019

Casa Cubana are hoping to have a group attend this event later in the year, as it’s always more fun with a group!

You may have heard of this event previously as the Australia Rueda de Casino Festival & Championship, and while it’s had a re-name. it will still be an amazing weekend with dance instructors from around Australia and the world coming together to provide a variety of dance classes, as well as amazing performances and parties.

If you are keen to attend and would like to take advantage of any deals in registration fees or accommodation we can wangle, please have a chat with Casa Cubana teacher Makrina.

Camila Cabello – “Havana” ft. Young Thug

I heard this song just the other day, and I can’t stop listening to it. It makes me think of the slow-paced hot humid days in Havana spent sipping a mojito (who am kidding – I never sip a mojito!), trying to sort out the conflicting sounds of at least 5 sources of music no matter where you are and taking in the organised chaos of the locals going about their day.
