In this bootcamp, you’ll start from scratch with Rumba Guaguancó, a dance and music style that is an essential part of Cuban culture. The best part is that Rumba is not only a genre on its own: it’s also the root that gives flavor and energy to Timba.

Date: Sunday, October 26

Time: 11:00–14:00

Location: CanDance Studios, Isolatorweg 28, Amsterdam (FREE parking!)

Level: Open level – all dancers welcome (no prior experience required.).

In the bootcamp you’ll learn:

• Master the basic movements of Guaguancó and the correct posture to dance with confidence and style from day one.

• Discover how to move your hips (for women) and how to use your shoulders and arms (for everyone) to bring authenticity and flavor to your dance.

• Learn about the history and Afro-Cuban roots of Rumba Guaguancó, and dance with respect, understanding the value of this tradition.

Early Bird available until October 14.

In this bootcamp, we’ll take everything you built in Level 1, your rhythm, posture, and understanding of Guaguancó, and bring it to the next level.

It’s time to expand your movement, deepen your connection, and explore the playful, powerful energy of Rumba Guaguancó.

You’ll refine your movement, express the dialogue between roles — the invitation, the game, the vacunao, and the response.

This bootcamp isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection, letting your body express what your mind already knows.

Date: Saturday, November 22

Time: 11:00–14:00

Location: CanDance Studios, Isolatorweg 28, Amsterdam (FREE parking!)

Level: Intermediate – for dancers who already completed Level 1 or have Rumba experience.

Important: This bootcamp is not for starting from scratch.

You need to have the fundamentals already integrated into your body — what we worked on thoroughly in Level 1: the basic step (for both men and women), the feminine hip movement, the arms, posture, bounce, and rhythm.

Also the movement variations: the cachán forward and to the side.

In the bootcamp you'll learn:

• Understand the deeper dynamics of Guaguancó, the play, rhythm, and dialogue between the roles.

• Integrate isolations and transitions that bring authenticity, sabor, and flow to your dance.

• Explore new combinations and movements that allow you to express yourself freely.

• Connect with the cultural meaning, codes, and respect behind every gesture in Rumba Guaguancó.

Early Bird available until October 31
