If you’ve ever fancied learning to salsa in the sunshine, take a holiday in Cyprus this autumn!
Renowned LA-style salsa teacher Francisco Vasquez is holding salsa dance classes at the La Excelencia Dance Studio in Engomi, Nicosia, over the next four months. Top pupils will have the chance to compete at Salsa Combat 2008, the second Cyprus Salsa Championships.
Vasquez is credited with creating the LA style of salsa, which involves fast moves, flashy footwork and the art of making it all look incredibly easy. Vasquez and his brothers formed the Los Rumberos dance troupe and have toured all over the world, as well as appearing alongside big name pop stars such as Jenifer Lopez in videos and films.
Vasquez told the Famagusta Gazette that he was impressed by the “Passion and vitality” of Cypriot salseros. “Our four months together will be an amazing and catching experience and will spread the energy of the quintessentially Latin beat across the entire country.”
Other venues offering salsa classes in Cyprus include the Casa Argentina Carlos Gardel in Nicosia, and Los Amigos club in Old Limassol. See the Latin Dance Cyprus website at http://www.latindance.com.cy for more details.
