💃🏽 Learn the dance. Then get out there and dance! 🇨🇺
Learn Cuban Salsa & Rueda in Auckland with The Cuban Groove — and take what you learn from class to the social dance floor.
That’s one of the best things about Cuban Salsa & Rueda — you’re not just learning steps in a class. You’re learning a social dance you can take with you to parties, live music nights and dance floors wherever you go.
And we’re excited to be moving to our new home at Ponsonby Community Centre from Wednesday 2 September! 🎉
✨ 7PM — Beginners' Cuban Salsa + Improvers' Intro to Rueda
✨ 8PM — Intermediate & Advanced Cuban Salsa & Rueda
No partner needed — many people come on their own, and we change partners throughout the class. Or bring your partner or a friend and make it a fun night out! 💃🏽
Come learn with Cuban maestro Vivio Ramos Mediaceja, with 40+ years of experience in Cuban music and dance. 🇨🇺
Come for the dance. Stay for the music, connection, fitness and fun. ❤️
