About the course

Here are the main characteristics of afro salsa:

 

1. African roots:  Afro salsa emphasizes African rhythms and movements that are energetic and often focus on hip and chest work. It is based on traditional African dances and their association with Afro-Cuban culture.

2. Musical fusion: Afro salsa music contains the rhythmic patterns and percussive elements of African music (e.g., drums, congas), but also retains the melodies and structure of classical salsa.

3. Emphasis on percussive rhythms. These instruments create a complex rhythmic base that is based on African musical tradition.

4. Dance style: The dance style uses more isolated movements of different parts of the body, which is typical of African dances, while the basic steps of salsa are still present. Dancers often switch between fluid movements and energetic rhythms.

 

Afro salsa is popular in the dance world, where the emphasis is on experimenting with different styles and cultures. Many salsa dancers like to add Afro elements to their dance to enrich their movement repertoire and accentuate the rhythmic component of the music.
