About Me

For me, dancing and sport are a way to express myself and release all the stress I get during my busy day. This kind of dance is the perfect choice for those who love Cuban and Latin music. During the pandemic, this two were the only things keeping me motivated and strong. For one year I was tutoring in a dancing club and the best thing is seeing those people laugh and having a good time and at the same time giving the best they have to achieve the choreo , it's a great feeling!!! My fitness journey started when I was 15 and I made great progress with my body during those years but most important with my health! I hope you feel comfortable with me and let me show you how much power you have in you !! Let's do this!!

Salsa DCuba
Cuban Salsa Intensive Course, Salsa in Couples, Free style (Private or Group).
Hey there, My name is Danger Rodriguez and As a Cuban Salsa instructor, my classes focus on teaching the fundamentals of Cuban-style salsa, also known as Casino salsa. My classes are designed to cater to dancers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. My classes emphasize the importance of rhythm and timing in Cuban salsa. We will cover the basic steps, footwork, turns, partner work, body movement, and styling. Understanding and interpreting the music through movement is vital to becoming a skilled salsa dancer. I also strongly emphasize developing good technique, as this is crucial to executing more complex steps and turns safely and efficiently. Students will learn how to move smoothly and fluidly and how to lead and follow with confidence. Finally, I strive to create a fun and supportive learning environment in my classes. I want my students to feel comfortable and confident on the dance floor and enjoy learning and improving their skills.

Build Your Self-Confidence Through Dance! ダンスを通して自信を築け!
Are you having trouble speaking up for yourself? Are you struggling with negative thoughts? Lacking self-confidence? Try learning dance with me to become more confident in yourself! My classes will be geared towards anyone who wants to start learning how to dance and build their self-confidence, but also for experienced dancers looking to challenge themselves in other styles of dances. I can teach Salsa, Bachata, Bollywood and Commercial dance styles to beginners and more intermediate dancers looking to learn something new or improve in specific areas. My aim as a dance teacher will be to help you achieve your goals, and customize the classes according to your dance level, and preferences whilst helping you learn and polish your fundamentals in musicality, rhythm, balance, technique and performance in dance. Of course, most importantly, for all of you have to fun! Bollywood dance is an expressive and fun style of dance that originated in India and is usually performed in Hindi films. It is popular worldwide, including a mix of the vibrant circle Garba dance, energetic and dynamic Bhangra dance as well as more traditional elegant and beautiful Bharatnatyam and Kathak forms of dances. Commercial dance is a universal style of dance, performed in music videos, for concerts, musicals or films. It includes a mixture of various styles: jazz, hip-hop, locking, popping, street dance, jazz, contemporary and more. Salsa and Bachata are both Latin style dances that are usually performed with a partner but also can be performed solo with solo moves called, "Shines." Salsa features flashy and energetic moves with lots of spins whilst Bachata (at least the sensual style) features more sensual, sexy moves with body isolation and head rolls. I will teach you how to distinguish both kinds of music by ear, the right technique, balance, body control and isolation, and of course performance. I believe that dance can really open up your heart, and empower yourself and I want to share this sensational feeling with everyone! 💃💃💃💃💃💃 So please do come and join me 😊 We will have lots of fun!

Salsa lesson including Bachata - Merengue - Cuban - LA - Cumbia - Colombian salsa
I teach you the basics of salsa, the techniques of guiding and following, the different basic turns, developing the musical ear and dancing in harmony with the rhythm. As you can see I know many kinds of salsa dancing, each one is unique and a lot of fun to learn! Because I can dance as 'man' as 'woman' (in salsa there are different steps for the male and female roles) it doesn't matter if you come alone or with your partner. The price is based on a one-time session, see it as a small workshop, in which I teach you the basics of the salsa you want to learn. From there we can see if you are interested in more lessons and we can agree on a cheaper price.

Kinami
Latin Dance Relaxation - Workshop Cumbia, Bachata, Salsa, Merengue, Reggaeton
Individual, couple or group service.​ These workshops aim to learn or simply practice steps, in a relaxed atmosphere and in a safe space. Relaxation is promoted with guided breathing exercises. Concept art: ​The cumbia-relajación workshop is a concept that pays homage to ancestral rhythms linked to the Earth and to heartbeats. One of these rhythms is the "tresillo", which is found in several popular dances in Abya Yala / Anahuac / Tawantinsuyo such as cumbia, bachata,bullengue, reggaeton*, etc. This rhythm is also present in millennial cultures around the world. The steps have similarities to movements in Tai-chi or Qi-gong, and have the potential to bring health benefits. It is an approach that has the potential to connect the moving body with the mind. Socially, a circle dance can help release any inhibitions. The workshop aims to encourage safe spaces where we can dance alone, or in groups. *important note. I promote songs whose lyrics are neither sexist nor misogynistic.
