Since we started this blog on 26 February 2016 we have written over 100 blog posts, publishing a variety of articles around the culture, history, musicality and other aspects of Cuban salsa on a weekly basis every Friday evening at 7pm (GMT). We have received very positive feedback from our students who are interested in the dance as a whole rather than just learning new moves every week and the blog has allowed us to focus on more practical aspects of the dance in class while discussing theory in more details via this platform.
Some of the most popular blog posts have been the introduction of our teachers which have so far been the only blog posts to date that were not written by either Aimi or myself but have been a very good resource especially for new students to learn more about the teachers they would meet in class.
It has been a lot of fun to write this blog and Aimi and I have learned a lot in the process while gathering resources and researching the various topics we have published to date.
The topics we discussed via this platform have been predominantly centred around areas that we identified as being useful to our students but we do want to continue to encourage any students who want to learn more about certain Cuban salsa related topics that we do not have the time for in class to let us know and we will endeavour to add this to future blog posts.
Over the last year our dance school has grown considerably and we currently teach over 15 classes per week across 5 different locations. We continue to invest heavily into our dance school and want to grow it further as much as possible but due to being limited in terms of how much time we have available for this project we have decided to start publishing this blog only once every two weeks instead of weekly going forward. Our regular series on Cuban Salsa hand signs which link to a new move that we publish on YouTube will be published once every 2 months going forward rather than monthly. We do not want to take away this resource from our students as we have had very positive feedback and do feel that it perfectly complements our classes but we are keen to invest our time in new activities and projects this year that will bring our passion to the attention of an even larger audience. We do feel that publishing the blog on a biweekly basis is a good compromise for this purpose and hope to be able to publish it more frequently again in the future.
