DECEMBER!

Reggaeton - The Latin Hip hop upbeat sexy dance!
Tuition by the Legendary Leandro Charanger from Havana, Cuba
Friday 10th December


We are delighted to welcome Leandro Charanger to guest teach, entertain and dazzle us! When Leandro arrived in the UK in 2007, Leandro Charanger was immediately crowned 'The Reggaeton King'. 100% Cuban, he is one of the most charismatic performers around today. Leandro's style is unique and wildly entertaining. His fusion of raw-energy Reggaeton from the backstreets of Havana and his classical ballet education could only happen in Cuba. Reggaeton is a relatively new genre of dance music that has become popular in Puerto Rico over the last decade. The name is derived from the reggae music of Jamaica which influenced Reggaeton's dance beat. Reggaeton was also heavily influenced by other Puerto Rican music genres and by urban hip-hop music craze in the United States.
