![]() ![]() On this page, we've provided a brief sample of the types of musical material we cover in our classes. We believe that a deep understanding of the roots and rhythms of timba will not only make you a better dancer – it will allow you to more fully enjoy your dance experience. We emphasize musicality in our classes, choreography, and social dancing. Timba's complex rhythms provide dancers with possibilities upon possibilities – there are many different ways to move rhythmically, to physicalize this music. This sophistication, while possibly overwhelming at first, ultimately can be incredibly satisfying. In part because of its many African roots, timba (modern Cuban popular dance music, sometimes called “Cuban Salsa”) is a very rhythmically sophisticated form. Dance music is often belittled as simplistic (and often it is), but salsa dancers, and casineros in particular, know that the music we dance to is anything but. To dance is "to move rhythmically to music " to truly dance you have to move with rhythm – con ritmo. ![]()
