SON MODERNO Intensive Workshop
Join us for an unforgettable 3-hour workshop that will introduce you to Son Moderno®, a captivating new style of dance that blends tradition with innovation. Created by renowned Cuban dancers Yunaisy Farray and Danger Rodríguez, Son Moderno® brings the elegance of traditional Son into the modern world, seamlessly integrating the techniques of Bolero, Mambo, Cha-cha-cha, and more. The result is a fresh and sublime language of movement that is both rooted in history and full of contemporary flair.
Why learn Son Moderno®?
Son Moderno® is a modernization of “traditional” Son through the structural integration of different dances that preceded it, along with the contribution of fresh trends. Son Moderno® is nothing other than a transformation of the Son without modification of its basic parameters as it keeps its roots intact.
With 80% of modern Cuban music composed contratiempo, this dance gives you the tools to interpret and move in a modernized and musical way.
New elements introduced by Son Moderno:
– Partnerwork: specific technique helps your body to react faster and more effectively
– Role of the Follower: the dance focuses on the interaction between partners, but unlike traditional styles where the lead often dominates, this style gives the follower a 50/50 Balance in Action and Reaction.
– Tools for Interpreting Modern Cuban Music: syncopation, accents and more, all while maintaining Son's traditional contratiempo (off-beat) timing.
Instructor: Certified by the creators themselves, your instructors Anna Korczyńska and Jakub Korczyński (PL/AT) are looking forward to sharing this dance style with you.
Prerequisites: none, but if you're already dancing salsa or son, you'll feel particularly at home in this workshop.
