Combo

The Combo is a type of orchestra or musical group that developed in Cuba toward the end of the 50's and propagated during the 60's. The orchestra was formed by various sections (wind, string, percussion, etc) but with only one instrument per section: a reduced orchestral formula, adapted to the small clubs of Havana.

Dancer Of The Week

Sanne Keijzer

Dance because you like it and show that. Own the dance. A good student can copy the teacher but a great dancer learns and then makes it her own. So, create your own style and do your thing. And very important: dare to dance!
