You’ve learned the basics… now it’s time to really start dancing.

Casa Cubana’s Transition Class begins 11 January 2026 and is designed to bridge the gap between beginner and intermediate salsa. You’ll build smoother footwork, stronger partner connection, better musicality, and the confidence to shine on the dance floor.

Perfect for anyone who’s completed beginner salsa or has some experience and wants more.

Spaces are limited — and this class fills fast every year.

Afternoon Workshops and Party with Hamish Fernando & Alissa Cleo

Hamish Fernando (Sydney) & Alissa Cleo (Agua! Cuban Dance Perth) will lead an afternoon workshop series that will focus on body movement, musicality, and the ability to add pauses and playfulness to your dance.

While most classes focus on specific figures, we want to empower students to feel the music and dance in between the complex figures. When we can enjoy and be creative with our movement in each moment, every dance can become a great experience even when you are just doing the basic steps. Let’s play and connect!
