ABOUT US

THE ORIGIN

LA LUNA LATINA DK is a concept started at the end of 2016.

Its previous name was Latin Dances Horsens & Aarhus.  After two and a half years of teaching in Horsens and one year of teaching in Aarhus the name changed to La Luna Latina Dk. The classes spreaded out to other cities quickly, due to their popularity and good energy. La Luna Latina is a dancing school where different dances and skills are combined. From Salsa (casino) to Bachata, or Kizomba to Rueda de Casino. Among some other styles like Chachacha, Son Cubano, Salsa L.A. Style, Reggaeton/Salsaton, Merengue, etc.

The regular classes have been taking place in Aarhus, Horsens, Viborg, Kolding, Randers and Odense.

WE ARE BASED IN AARHUS. CHECK the current classes in our section of Schedule & Prices  and more details about the dances in the section of CLASSES


LA LUNA LATINA – HORSENS

ODENSE SALSA FORENING

ODENSE SALSA FORENING opened their arms to us in 2017 with some Workshops (WS). Afterwards, we started regular classes in 2018. The long way of driving from Aarhus to Odense was compensated by the great and joyful environment that all dancers create at OsAF.

OUR HOME, AARHUS

Last but not least, LA LUNA LATINA started classes in Aarhus. As mentioned above the original project started in Aarhus in January 2016. After one year of teaching and lot’s of students satisfied and delighted with the classes the name was changed from LATIN DANCES AARHUS to LA LUNA LATINA DK. However, the same concept, spirit, and dynamic and fun classes were kept. 

Cuban salsa

In the heart of the city center everybody can try our classes of Cuban Salsa (casino), which are becoming more and more popular among the dancers.

Bachata

Classes of Sensual and Fusion Bachata have been requested, therefore we offer different levels of this dance. We also organize Workshops (WS) and Social Dances.

Kizomba

We started regular Kizomba classes in 2020.  After offering this dance at the pre-workshops of the Sensual Socials a lot of students requested  Kizomba.

Cuban Salsa and Rueda de Casino is the base in Salsa Viborg, although some Bachata has been taught too. Right now, there are two groups, “Improvers” & “Int/Adv” with classes every Tuesday.

He started a new project called “Latin Dances Aarhus” in January 2016. He teaches regularly together with Roberta Vavzenaviciute and Lorina Pencheva. In adition to Rueda de Casino every other Sunday.

He has prepared some simple choreographies for his students in order to participate in different events. Northside, Dansens dag i Horsens, semester parties at VIA among others.

He visited CUBA in November 2017. There he learned some more about the Cuban culture, their traditional dances and the roots of Son Cubano. He took classes of afro and rumba styling and got a bit more into the Santería cubana world.


Roberta Vavzenaviciute

She liked dancing since she was little. Roberta started dancing folk dances in High School back in Lithuania. Later on, she took some classes of classic and modern dance. However, once she tried salsa, she knew she was going to continue with it! She has been to plenty of socials in Lithuania, Cyprus and Denmark.

At the end of 2015 she started the project of Latin Dances Aarhus with Miguel. She continued when the name changed to LA LUNA LATINA and she is currently one of the fundamental pillars of the classes. She enjoys seeing people who are willing to learn, improve and also have fun.
