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 masterclass is part of our summer programme, VitaminX.
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!
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!
