TESTIMONIALS

  • Kat

    "Thank you so much for your class today!! You are a wonderful teacher. When I saw the video you posted, I thought I had no chance of learning a full routine, but I did, thanks to your teaching! Your teaching skills really shone through, "Your teaching really shone through, I was not expecting to like it as much as I did, and would have been different with a different teacher"tion goes here

  • eLLE COCO

    "I am originally from Mexico and have taken a few dance classes in the UK and a course in Colombia Cali. I loved Olga's Salsa Caleña workshop as it reminded me of the true latin american style. She was great at handling the class, providing the opportunity for everyone to look closely at the moves and ask questions.

  • wILL

    Trying Cali Salsa was a blast and I definitely will be taking the full course. I've been wanting to learn more flashfootwork in salsa for ages and this is a great class to add style to my dancing

  • m

    "I loved your workshop and the ryhtm of the class. i think other workshops try to put too much in a short space of time but yours was great! so looking forward to join your classes, i think it's a lot of fun and i'd love to do more"

  • ELLE COCO

    "I found Olga very warm, open and helpful. The way she explained the steps was very clear and I liked that she broke down the routine and we went through it together a few times. I was looking at the other students and although the routine was challenging, all of us got the routine at the end. Her class was so much fun, I left happy and energised."

  • wILL

    "The speed of cali is stretching, it was like learning a new style of dance even though I'd done salsa before, but Olga broke down the fundamentals at a pace that worked for everyone - dancing normal salsa did feel like slow motion afterwards!"

  • Nicholas

    "Thank you for a wonderful class! It did stretch my brain"ion goes here

Salsa caleña or cali salsa was developed in Cali, Colombia. What makes it different from other styles of salsa (casino/cuban, LA, etc) is its fast pace and intricate footwork that add dynamism and even more fun to every song

WHAT can you expect from the course?

  • We’ll be focusing on SOLO work without partners.

  • We’ll start with the fundamentals of this beautiful style, and go through their intricate and challenging footwork one step at a time.

    You’ll be surprised how something that looks complex can be learnt quicker when you divide it into smaller steps!

  • We’ll work the fluidity of the upper body, focusing on how to move your hips, shoulders and arms, which is what gives flavour and allows to style your movements.

  • My classes are desgined to build progresively one after the other. This is for you to take in the steps without getting overwhlemed and to understand how dancing involves the whole body, not just your feet! :) You will be surprised of how much you’re capable of learning.

    (And if you don’t believe, just go and me check the testimonials above!)

    BY THE END OF THE COURSE

  • You will know the fundamental steps of salsa caleña

  • You would have learnt choreographies to show that :)

  • You also will learn the super basics for improvisation, which will further develop in the following courses.

  • You will definitely feel more confident in your dancing!

    What are you waiting for? Pick your price above!

WHO IS IT FOR

  • Social dancers (salsa, bachata, kizomba, etc) who are not sure of their chosen style basic steps and/or don’t feel comfortable dancing on their own

  • Dancers who stopped dancing some time ago and want to come back to it and beginners who want to learn this style of dancing

  • Social dancers who want to learn a new style and improve their body movement, fluifity and styling

  • Solo dancers (no matter your previous style, skills are interchangeable!) who want to learn this specific style and improve their body movement, fluifity and styling.

    For the last two I recommnend a beginner or improver level (IN SOLO WORK). If you consider yourself intermediate - advance and still want to learn the style you can definitely join, but you will be better with PRIVATE classes if you want to speed up the process.

    ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL AT info@olgarodrigo.com. I’ll be happy to hear from you!

    Who is it NOT for

  • Social dancers with a high intermediate or advance level who know the basics of their chosen style and are comfortable dancing on their own, styling their movements and/or creating choreographies.

  • Solo dancers who consider themselves intermediate or advance and are used to take in choreographies quickly and are already used to challenging footwork.

  • Dancers who’re not curious to learn something new and challenge themselves with something different

    If you consider yourself intermediate - advance and still want to learn the style you can definitely join, but you will be better with PRIVATE classes if you want to speed up the process. Email me to info@olgarodrigo.com if that’s the case!

MY DANCE JOURNEY

 

If you don’t know me yet, welcome, I’m Olga.

You could say my story with dancing was love at first sight - as from just two years old I used to dance to whatever sounds were around me: music, tv adverts, the radio.

It all started back in my original country, Spain, when with 4 years old, I started dancing Spanish dances and flamenco classes. I quickly fell in love with its strength and passion, and I kept training and performing until I was 15, when sadly, due to personal circumstances I had to leave it temporarily.

I took that opportunity away from flamenco to become versatile in other styles - street dances, hip-hop and funky, until my mid twenties. And always amazed by the vast variety of styles that I yet didn’t know, once I moved to the UK in 2016, I decided to keep learning more about contemporary, jazz, dancehall, african, latins and jazz funk.

During the pandemic, my love for dancing increased even further. I realised dancing was my medicine, and that no matter wherever I am in the world, dance is what connects me to my body and soul, it’s just what makes me feel more alive.

With this new mindset and reailisation, not only I came back to my flamenco roots in 2022, but I also became mesmerized by the world of salsa, specifically of salsa caleña, which I started training online with the academy World Dance Stars (Estrellas Mundiales de la salsa - EMD*) in Barcelona, Spain.

This style, with its dynamism and pace reminded me of my love for challenging footwork, at the same time that spoke to my emotions with its elegant salsa base movement. It’s because of that rekindled passion that In 2023 I decided to embrace it all. In May of that year I’ve got my Dance Teaching Diploma at Dance Revolution, in Sheffield, UK. And in July 2023, I inmersed myself in an in person Intensive summer trainning in Salsa Caleña with the same academy, where I received a diploma for the completion of the course facilitated by Steffany Moreno, 4 times Salsa World Champion. 

This experience had a deep mark in my heart, connecting me to a need I didn’t realize it had always been there: bringing dance and joy to others while sharing my love for movement.

This is the reason for my dance classes and this workshop you’re considering joining. Those who personally know me would tell you that I forget everything when I dance, I feel lighter from inside out and I feel connected to life and the present moment. 

This is what I want for you too, because there are no words that can convey the feeling of your own body merging with the music. And because celebrating we’re always learning is what keep us alive.

I hope I get to meet you and dance with you in this beautiful workshop, 

Until then, please take an online spanish hug your way!

Thank you for reading until here, 

Olga
