“After the very first lesson, I thought: this is exactly what I needed.”Alexandra Kholodinskaya
This was the first course I bought from Katya, and it changed the way I understand dance. The fear that I only knew basic steps began to disappear. I started to enjoy those basics, and I realised that I could pause or slow down in my dance — something that had never even occurred to me before. I still have plenty to work on, but now I understand how to move forward.
“My relationship with music and movement changed completely.”Galina Shabelnikova
I began to feel my body differently and understand the connection between music and movement. The inner rush disappeared, and dancing became much easier. I stopped depending on the first beat as a crutch and began to rely on my inner pulse instead. Even when the music is fast, it no longer feels chaotic.
“The course gave me structure and a clear understanding of a dance culture that was completely new to me.”Natalia Malashkeevich
The theory, detailed breakdowns of the basic movements and practice with music are organised into clear modules. Everything is logical and practical. I do not regret a single moment or euro I invested. The course gave me the right direction for studying Cuban culture and developing my own dancing.
“For dancers at the beginning of their journey, this course is a real gift.”Alla Alexeeva
I was missing foundational knowledge across several styles. I especially valued the fact that the course pays attention not only to technique, but also to musicality, mindset and body awareness. It opened new directions for my development and gave me a much clearer foundation.
“Even after almost ten years of social dancing, going back to the foundations was incredibly valuable.”Dinara Rudenko
I have attended festivals, congresses and workshops, but the Cuban Salsa ABC course still gave me tools I could immediately add to my dancing. Katerina’s courses guide you step by step towards more confidence and more enjoyment on the dance floor.
“The world of salsa opened up to me in a completely new way.”Evgeniya Antoshkina
Cuban Salsa ABC was my first course with Katya. It covers all the key elements of the dance and helped me understand the difference between salsa and timba. Katya presents the material in a clear, accessible way that makes you want to understand more and go deeper — especially into musicality and the different sections of the music.
