DFF reporting from Baila en Cuba 2011 festival! This is the 2nd part of my little movie about the sixth world encounter of dancers of Casino and Salsa Dance Academies that was held in La Habana, CUBA on November 2011. This was a special occasion to obtain in-depth knowledge on Cuban salsa and other rhythms, and an opportunity to attend classes and master lectures, short courses and workshops on choreography, to enjoy dancing with the best musical groups and the performances by guest dancing academies. It was an experience I'll never forget!
