These 2 hour workshops are the perfect way to learn the dances of the Yoruba pantheon of deities,
called Orishas, as well as the Congo branch of Afro-Cuban folklore, Arará, and
some indigenous dances such as Rumba.
The songs and rhythms narrate different events in the lives of the Orishas or are hymns
praising their powers. The dances that accompany this music are pantomimic and specific
steps correspond to each rhythm. The dancer wear costumes specific to each Orisha and
carry some of the items attributed to them. Some dance movements represent the hunt,
others war or divine punishment of wrongdoers and others agricultural activity.

You can catch up on some cuban salsa or rueda moves in a club environment, just
before you start dancing the night out. Sarita teaches at the following places:
| Babaluú |
|
| Casino couples: |
Fridays:9:30 pm to 10:15 pm
Saturdays:9:30 pm to 10:15 pm
|
| Rueda de Casino: |
Sundays:9:00 pm to 10:00 pm

|
Note that the Sunday event
is a salsa cubana/timba/reggaeton kind of night. Music for a Cuban audience and for the dancers who prefer casino to salsa......
The Rueda de Casino class here has already taken Toronto by storm. It is being imitated in a hurry by many regular salsa schools.
Come to Babaluú for the real thing, Casino de Rueda de CUBA!!
