Do you always sit out the Cha cha cha in a club because all you've ever learnt is Salsa and Bachata? Here's your chance to learn one of the most popular Street latin dance styles...

Cha cha cha
With its origin from Cuba, Cha Cha Cha evolved from the Mambo. It is a very popular Street latin dance style because it can be either danced to authentic Cuban music, or Latin Pop or Latin Rock. The music for the international ballroom cha-cha-cha is energetic and with a steady beat. The Cuban cha-cha-ch is more sensual and may involve complex polyrhythms. Characterised by 2 slow steps followed by 3 fast chasses. It became a sensation in the 1950s to dance on the off beat instead of the common down beats. ________________________________________________________________

Your instructor: Gysvier Aldana Noriega
Born in South America, Gysvier has been exposed to the latin music since he was born. His parents, both profesional musicians, showed him the beauty within the melody in all its forms but dancing was his materialization. He was always the popular guy dancing in the parties to the Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Tambor. But it wasnt until 2003 when Gys traveled to Indonesia and went out to a Cuban bar where he first saw a Casino Rueda, after this, he automatically falled in love with this cuban genre. Back to his country, he accomplished all levels of salsa casino and in 2006 was invited to join the famous Venezuelan dance academy "Caribe y Punto" as a profesional dancer, a position that he kept for four years participating in national congresses, competitions and performing dozens of coreographies including a presentation in the oppening of the Miss Venezuela 2006.
