An unforgettable experience with an amazing group of people! Luanda really put great thought into organising a varied curriculum of Cuban dance styles for the week, where Domingo Pau and his dance company trained us hard! Every morning we were treated to live percussion during class, and demonstrations of the different orishas in full costume. One truly memorable moment was going together to a nearby town for a Rumba street party with the locals that lived there - a no-frills, real, and incredibly fun experience.

I can honestly say that this is the best afro cuban festival in the world. In one place: a huge amount of knowledge, people full of passion - wonderful man Maestro Domingo Pau and dancers Conjunto Folklorico, a fantastic place for workshops and the best event among the local community. The festival is a journey into oneself and understanding the essence of afro cuban culture. Luanda, thank you very much for this opportunity and of course we will see next year!

Absolutely amazing and tailored to all levels, it was a blessing to meet her and have the great opportunity to be part of it. Maestro Pau Domingo is an icon in Havana teaching in the University in Havana nowadays. Dancers of Conjunto Folklorico joined in taking part of the classes as teachers in their speciality, they are unique and they constantly coach at the level required. All the lessons have live music.They had that one night of Rumba in a neighbourhood with Cubans, if you are looking for the real one, this is it.Personally I didn't want an all inclusive hotel, and this is the perfect place and way to see the real Cuba, they are always available to make you feel at ease. Would absolutely recommend it, and for this price you won't find anywhere or anything better.

Definitely the best option for all who are interested in learning afro-cuban dances and improving their practice of cuban salsa and social latin dances. The talent, commitment and generosity of this group of teachers, assistants and musicians is incredible and the whole experience is thought to be developed in full contact with local people, to understand their own way to feel dance and to express themselves through it.I just can't wait for the next one!

If you're keen on learning Rumba and Afro Cuban dances, this is it. Luanda has organised a 5 days intensive dance course with her trusted dance teachers, maestro Domingo Pau and dancers from Conjunto Folklorico. You are also treated with live percussion in classes. If you know Luanda, you know she's very passionate in teaching and promoting the culture, and you can feel her passion run through this course. In addition, you will enjoy the night outs of rumba parties and concerts. The rumba party happens in a casa in the outskirts of Havana and it's a real deal. Local people and us mingled together, dancing, chatting, drinking, eating, and the amazing energy of rumba!! It was one of my highlights!! It is a bargain for the quality of classes....Grab it people!!
