CUBA BAILA - Cuban Dance

"I went to Cuba with the Cuban Baila tour group in December and it was one the best trips of my life! The trip was fun, safe, memorable and met some amazing people! Yarima made sure we were all taken care of. Having someone who knows there way around Cuba definitely made the trip even better = Less stress. I met some amazing people that was apart of the group I can call life long friends and will definitely be going back back to the dance school. Highly recommended to anyone!"

"A massive highlight of 2019 was 4 days workshop with Yarima&Miguel from Cubanbaila. They created a welcoming environment where everyone had a lot of fun, learned new dancing moves, understood rhythmical patterns of traditional Cuban music, listened to a real African drum set and last but not least were lucky to watch Yarima & Miguel dance like only Cubans could dance :) :) :) Also, Yarima&Miguel showed different aspects of Cuban folk dancing. It was easy to follow their guidance although some moves were complicated, especially the synchronisation of body moves with foot work. If someone had a difficulty, Yarima did everything she could to help out and it was effective. Overall, I had a great time and looking forward to do it again. Highly recommend to everyone who love dancing & want learn more about it."

"I have enjoyed many lessons with Yarima. She is a wonderful, talented authentic cuban Salsa teacher. She has a gentle and patient way to introduce and teach all aspects of the music and the dance. I introduced my dear friend, a young autistic man to have some private lessons. This followed with Yarima teaching a class at his 21st Birthday Party. Yarima has the ability to see what is needed to meet each student at there level and needs. Patiently introducing, layer upon layer, plus the ability to have fun. What a joy for him music, rhythm coordination and he was dancing. This built up his confidence. The private lessons and the party were so much fun. The party a group of special needs, family and friends joined the class. Every one enjoyed themselves and we all look forward to continue class with Yarima. Once you see Yarima smile you leave the lesson enriched. I highly recommend to have class with her."

"Dancing with Yarima is a breath of fresh air. She has an infectious smile and is warm and encouraging. She attracts other great dancers and teachers to her class so it is a wonderful dance community. Every week I get energised from Cuban salsa classes and life just looks that much better again. Thanks Yarima, keep shining that brilliant smile. If at all interested to try out cuban salsa, it is so much fun ... just do it!"

"Yarima is a vibrant, charismatic, professional, patient and fun dance teacher. She lives and breathes Cuban flavour, this is what our area on the Northern Beaches needs! Go to dance with Yarima. I have been having private dance classes for two terms now and will continue. This is the highlight of my week. I am ready to hit the dance floor and also wanting to go on a Cuban tour with Yarima in the next couple of years. Thank you for bringing such joy and freedom of spirit into my life x"
