Advanced Variations in Latin-American Dancing | Espen Salberg

Take your Latin dancing to a higher level with Espen & Kirsten Salberg in this comprehensive advanced training program covering all five International Latin dances: Samba, Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive.

Designed for advanced dancers, this program presents sophisticated variations and combinations that develop technique, musicality, body movement, coordination, and performance quality. Each dance is divided into two instructional groups, allowing dancers to study the choreography in manageable sections before seeing how the complete material works in performance.

A particularly useful feature of the program is its split-screen presentation, which allows you to compare detailed footwork with the dancers’ overall body movement. This makes it easier to understand how foot placement, timing, body action, and styling work together to create polished Latin dancing.

After the instructional groups, Espen & Kirsten demonstrate each dance in a complete staged performance, giving dancers a clear reference for rhythm, character, dynamics, and presentation.

Covering the complete competitive Latin repertoire, Advanced Variations in Latin-American Dancing is an excellent resource for experienced dancers looking for new choreography, technical ideas, and inspiration for training, performance, or competition.
