Nytt søndagstilbud på Miami Bar! Bli med på SalsaNors grunnkurs i cubansk salsa i Oslo sentrum. Her får du en trygg og motiverende introduksjon til salsarytme, grunntrinn og enkle figurer i par, ledet av erfarne og tålmodige instruktører. Kurset passer både for deg som er helt ny, og for deg som har danset litt salsa før eller ønsker å repetere grunnlaget.
Gjennom kurset jobber vi med å bli trygge på rytme, føring og følging, slik at du ikke bare lærer figurer, men også forstår hvordan dansen fungerer i praksis på det sosiale dansegulvet. Vi har fokus på mestring, tydelig kommunikasjon i paret og et godt grunnlag for videre utvikling.

Intermediate - Level 1
(Course description)18.00 – 19.00
Director(s)Andrés Estévez, Susanne Svarverud
×Your Content Goes HereThis course is suitable for those who have laid a good foundation in salsa, ie. has good control of the salsa rhythm and timing, and can dance basic salsa figures from 'Salsa beginner' in a good way. We recommend that you as a minimum have good control of these characters when starting at this level: dile que no, dile que si, guapea, enchufla, enchufla doble. We continue with these modules in this course.
You dance at 'Intermediate level 1' for several rounds until you have learned all the figures that belong to this level and are ready to move on to 'Intermediate level 2'.CloseSign up Salsa

Intermediate - Level 1

×Your Content Goes HereRueda de Casino is the Cuban ring dance variant of salsa. Some of the figures will be already known from regular salsa, and which are also used in rueda. Other figures are most commonly used in rueda and are taught in this course. You must have taken at least a basic course in salsa to start with rueda.

To ensure good learning of Cuban characters and work on developing as a good leader/follower, it may be a good idea to attend a salsa course in parallel to also practice the dance in pairs.CloseSign up Rueda

Intermediate - Level 2
(Course description)19.45-20.45
Director(s)Andrés Estévez, Susanne Svarverud
×Your Content Goes HereThis course builds on Salsa practiced 1. The instructor does not repeat the repertoire from the previous course, but assumes that you as a participant are confident in the trips from 'practiced 1', and can use these on the social dance floor. In 'improver 2' you continue with figures from the modules that have not been covered in 'improver 1', and which require a slightly higher level. You dance at an advanced level for several rounds until you have learned all the figures that belong to this level and are ready to move on to the next level, which is intermediate.CloseSign up Salsa

×Your Content Goes HereFun and useful solo class (not couple dancing) for anyone who wants to learn and develop in
Dominican Bachata. First of all, you will learn all the basic steps and become confident in
the bachata rhythm.
Dominican bachata has the main focus on hips and footwork as it is danced in
the Dominican Republic. Furthermore, the course will contain many fun and useful
step combinations that you can use both when dancing alone and for improvisation in
the couple dance.
A great class to take in combination with one of the salsa or rueda de casino classes for
nice variety. It is an open level, but basic knowledge in bachata is an advantage. We look at
the level of the participants and adjust how fast we progress.Close

Rueda Switch
Intermediate - Level 2
(Course description)18.00 – 19.00
Director(s)Siri Heggebø
×Your Content Goes HereWelcome to 7 weeks of rueda switch, where we constantly switch dynamically between having the role of leading and following.
What is important for this type of rueda is that you must be able to both lead and follow in advance in order to participate in the course. You don't need to know Rueda switch from before, but you must be able to dance at least a very simple rueda in both roles, with guapea and simple characters such as dile que no, dame una, enchufla and dame una arriba.

There are several different ways to change partners in the switch concept, in addition to 'switch', which has different names such as corto, guapo and cierra. We will learn and dance these ways of switching as well during this course.

Otherwise, you are expected to be an experienced casino and rueda dancer to participate in this course, with a large repertoire of rueda figures, and have some experience with quick transitions between figures, without falling out of the flow in the ring.

You must be prepared to work on this also at a high pace. It is an advantage if you are able to learn new things relatively quickly, and can work a little on your own to refresh and remember what we learn, so that we get good progression in the group.

In order to have a good progression through the course, it is important that you as a participant are with the entire course. Absence due to illness is of course okay (notified in the closed Facebook group SalsaNor Oslo - course participants (closed)), but if you miss two or more course evenings, it will be difficult to be able to follow the rest of the course.

NB! The first evening at a new level is always a trial class for newcomers, where you assess whether you have the foundation necessary to follow the course and with mastery and the joy of dancing. Those who are recommended to follow the rueda course at an advanced level, will be notified of this either immediately after the trial class, or by e-mail by the end of the following day.

Salsa
Upper Intermediate
(Course description)18.40 - 19.40
Director(s)Yordano Bulgar
×Your Content Goes HereThis is a complete basic course in Cuban salsa. In the course, experienced and patient instructors go through all the necessary steps and figures at a basic level. The course is also suitable for those who may already dance a little salsa or have taken a basic course in salsa before.
During the course, we become confident in the salsa rhythm, in the different basic steps and learn the most central salsa variations in pairs. In addition to learning new characters, we are constantly concerned that everyone should feel that they have mastered the dance, and focus on how we in the dance should lead the partner clearly, and how the partner should be led.

After this course, you can move on to the advanced level if the content of this course feels easy and you have mastered it well enough to use it on the social dance floor. We often recommend taking the basic course several times, and not moving on to the next level until you feel confident with all the syllabus from the basic course. The very best dancers are those who lay a solid foundation at the start!

After the basic course, you are also ready to start Rueda de Casino; Cuban salsa as a ring dance.CloseSign up Salsa

17.3 SON w/Mario Acea, from intermediate level

Son and Cha cha cha are two of the most beautiful, older rhythms and dances from Cuba, and which also form part of the basis for the development of salsa.

Hva skjer på Cuba? Debatt, boklansering og filmvisning
2026-05-06 17:30 - 21:00 | Deichman Tøyen, Hagegata 28, Oslo, Tøyen, 0653, Norway
Hva skjer på Cuba? Debatt, boklansering og filmvisning på Deichman TøyenDato: Onsdag 6. mai 2026 · Tid: 17:30–21:00 · Sted: Deichman Tøyen, Hagegata 28, 0653 OsloPris: Gratis og åpent for alle.
Hva skjer egentlig på Cuba nå? På Deichman Tøyen inviterer Deichman Tøyen og SalsaNor til en kveld med debatt, boklansering og filmvisning om utviklingen på Cuba og hvilke konsekvenser endringene kan få for både øya selv og Latin-Amerika. Arrangementet samler sterke fagstemmer, medieaktører og publikum til en aktuell samtale om politikk, samfunn og kultur.
Kvelden åpner med en paneldebatt med:

Ståle Wig, sosialantropolog og forfatter av Havanna Taxi: Liv og løgn på det nye Cuba, som nå lanseres på spansk som Havana Taxi – Cuba y los años de la ilusión
Norges Rodríguez, redaktør og grunnlegger av YucaByte, som dekker digitalt liv og samfunn på Cuba
Benedicte Bull, professor i statsvitenskap og en av Norges fremste eksperter på Latin-Amerika
Samtaleleder: Iver Ørstavik, seniorrådgiver i Rafto-stiftelsen.

Etter debatten blir det premierevisning av dokumentarfilmen Estamos conectados, regissert av Ernesto Fundora. Filmen er en biografisk dokumentar om den cubanske kunstneren og aktivisten Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, og utforsker kunst, aktivisme og San Isidro-bevegelsen i dagens Cuba.
Dette er et arrangement for deg som er interessert i Cuba, Latin-Amerika, politikk, samfunnsdebatt, kunst og dokumentarfilm. En sjelden anledning til å få både faglig innsikt og kulturelle perspektiver samlet på én kveld i Oslo.
Velkommen til Deichman Tøyen 6. mai!
