“Where Perth’s finest Latin dancers are born…!”

http://www.juanrandodanceacademy.com.au/

Juan Rando Dance Academy was established in 1995 and was Perth’s first dance studio to promote and develop all areas of alternative Latin dancing. With our own studio in the heart of Subiaco, as well as Perth’s most popular Latin Night Clubs, we have created a learning environment that will suit everyone!

Juan Rando commenced studying Argentine Tango, Salsa and Swing in 1997 and travelled extensively through Argentina and the United States.

Upon returning to Australia in 1998, Juan established three separate dance studios, with three distinct and separate goals. The Tango Salon quickly established itself as Perth’s premier Tango studio with a focus heavily on technique and an academic-like class structure.

JRDA teaches three different styles of salsa.

* Millennium style salsa is currently the most popular style in the world. It combines both LA and New York style salsa to provide spectacular moves perfect for exhibitionists and performances.
* The footwork for Cuban salsa is more simplistic but this is off-set by the use of plenty of arm entanglements. Cuban salsa can also be danced in a Rueda, which means you not only get to dance all your couple moves but can also take advantage of the cool group moves that are unique to this style.
* On 2” style, is more commonly referred to as New York salsa or Mambo. Instead of breaking on the first count (as with Millennium and Casino), you actually break on the second count of the music, slowing the dance down and giving you more time to show off your body movement
