Get ready to shake your hips and bust some moves in this reggaeton workshop. Reggaeton is an electrifying fusion of music and dances from different countries. This mix of dance styles was developed among Panamanian youth in the late 1980s. With its laid back and playful movements you will definitely feel the tropical summer vibes!
Originating in late 1990s Puerto Rico, reggaeton is a vibrant dance style deeply influenced by Latin American, Caribbean and hip hop music. Known for its fun and free-spirited vibe, reggaeton has become immensely popular. Unlike other musical genres, it does not possess a predefined dance style, granting us the liberty to explore and incorporate movement from other styles into the choreography, such as Hip Hop, Salsa, Bachata, House, Dancehall, Samba and beyond.
This workshop is open to all levels and will help boost your self-confidence, body coordination and sense of rhythm. And at the end, you’ll have a short Instagram reel/TikTok video so you can show off your new moves to your friends!

During the masterclass, you can immerse yourself in the world of Paso Doble. This masterclass is specifically designed for students who are eager to master the dynamic and expressive art of Paso Doble.
We will explore the history and unique stylistic elements of Paso Doble. Learn foundational steps, posture and dramatic poses essential to performing this dance. Our instructors will guide you through the technical aspects and the artistic expression required to bring this dance to life. This class is aimed at beginners and offers a fun and challenging way to enhance your dance skills.
The Paso Doble is a Spanish dance that is also counted among the Latin American dances. This ballroom dance depicts bullfighting, where the man plays the role of bullfighter or torero and the lady is la capa (the red cape) who has to chase the bull. The man ‘swings’ the lady around as if she were that red cape. Paso Doble literally means double stride and is a dance filled with passion and intensity.
The Paso Doble is danced to the appropriate music with a rhythm of 60 to 62 bars per minute. The music is characterised by highlights: accents in the music that require the dancing couple to adopt a fixed position in their dance programme.
In this masterclass you can unlock your inner Bollywood star! Immerse yourself in the vibrant music, graceful expressions and iconic dance moves at the heart of Bollywood movies. Whether you're a Bollywood fan or a complete newbie and wanting to explore, this workshop is for everyone! Don't miss this chance to experience the glamour, energy and magic of Bollywood. No experience necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and Aaja Nachale! (Come, let's dance, in Hindi).
Bollywood is a name commonly used to refer to the Hindi cinema within the Indian film industry and it originated in the City of Dreams: Mumbai (formerly Bombay - where the name comes from). Colourful, dynamic and theatrical musical dance numbers are at the heart of these films and bring the stories to life. Bollywood dance is a blend of classical and folk dance from India with western styles like hip hop, jazz and belly-dancing.
