Let La Bomba salsify your soul...
Natalie Stansfield, founder of La Bomba Productions Australia
SALSA: most popular street Latin dance with Cuban roots that evolved in N.Y in the 60's. Salsa continues to be embraced by cities and instructors around the world creating new and unique styles. It's a 4 beat rhythm danced in couples. We at La Bomba specialise in the Cuban, LA and New York styles. (circular and linear)
CUBAN RUEDA: A group dance where a number of couples position themseves in a circle and 1 main person or 'caller' yells out circular salsa moves that are danced in sync while switching partners. It looks fantastic and is extremely enjoyable to dance.
SAMBA: Brazilian carnival dance, very energetic SOLO dance, great body movement, a real work out!
AXE: fun, up beat Brazilian choreographies, very popular in South America in summer at the beach and danced in a line.
MERENGUE: Popular couples dance from the Dominican Republic that is loved all over the world. It's the easiest street Latin style to learn as it is a 2 beat rhythm and involves basic hip and leg movements that can be mastered in no time.
REGGAETON: Latest Latino dance craze, that developed in Panama, Puerto Rico and Colombia and is currently taking over clubs from NY to Barcelona. The music's a mix of hip hop, tropical beats eg salsa and merengue fused with Jamaican dance hall. It's a HOT SOLO dance that can be danced with a partner too!
La Bomba are recognized as Australia's reggaeton specialists, having introduced the style at 3 major dance festivals in Sydney.
CAPOEIRA: Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of music, self defence techniques, acrobatics, dance and tradition. It was created by the African slaves in Brazil around the XVI Century as a way to resist opression and fight for freedom.
Not only will Capoeira keep you fit but it will tone your muscles
and improve your balance.

WHAT MAKES A PERFECT
SALSA DANCER
(These tips can also be applied to merengue, samba and reggaeton students)
We at La Bomba firmly believe that timing and maintaining the basic step are the keys to dancing salsa because these 2 aspects are what keep salseros (dancers) in synchronization when doing partner work. With out the timing and basic step you will not be able be able to follow or lead confidently. Understanding and feeling the timing in salsa music will allow you to comfortably interpret the music and descaragar (show off/ go off) with confidence and sabor (flavor).
When you salsa on time, you will look great and earn respect
from people around you, because you will be dance smoothly with confidence!
La Bomba's fool proof formula to become a top dancer is
a combination of:
- group classes and private classes
- Watch your favourite dancers on the dance floor and pick up tips
- Buy instructional DANCE videos on the web, watch and practice
- Listen to Latin music at home, in the car, at work in the shower
- lots and lots of practice and social dancing with everyone (anywhere!)
