Cuba's funk-infused modern Salsa — hard-hitting breaks and Afro-Cuban body movement. Originated in Cuba · 1990s. Typically danced around 180-220 BPM (fast).
Partner improvisation on Timba music (Cuban fusion of son, jazz, funk, batá rhythms); Los Van Van pioneered the music.
What to expect: Danced as Cuban Casino with extra body isolations and breaks that follow the music. You'll see it at Cuban-flavored Latin nights.

Latin social nights almost always start with a beginner lesson before the floor opens. Show up alone - partners rotate during class. Wear something you can sweat in and shoes with a smooth sole.
Ask politely, smile, thank your partner after the song. Decline gracefully if you need a break. Rooms run hot; bring water.
