Chris Rogicki & Nayelli Valencia Turrent, Instructors, Fuakata

Fuákata - Cuban Salsa New York was founded in October of 2007 to promote Cuban-style Salsa, also know as Casino, and Timba, Cuba’s variant of Salsa music, in NYC and beyond. Fuákata has trained in Cuba and traveled around the world, giving both dance lessons and performances at Salsa congresses, community and corporate events. Fuákata strives to showcase the beauty of Cuban Salsa, its evolution, and the diversity of styles it embodies and was recently named the best place to learn Cuban dance in NYC by Thrillist. They host weekly classes in Manhattan to all levels of dancers, weekly and weekend dance parties and socials, group outings, live music/concert events, and legal travel opportunities to both Havana and Santiago de Cuba each year. Their group classes are taught by Christopher Rogicki and Nayelli Valencia Turrent, with Level 1/Absolute Beginner every Wednesday night at 7pm at Adelante Studios in midtown Manhattan. Nayelli and Chris will have you dancing, smiling, laughing, and getting a great workout in an extremely stress-free environment after just one 90-min group lesson.
