Classes & Teams
All footwork and partnerwork classes are based on Bronx Style Mambo, a style and technique developed in the Bronx, New York. The classes are mandatory for all performance team members. You can build your foundations of Bronx Style Mambo in level 1 (intermediate) classes and push your limits in level 2 (advanced) classes.
The classes will help you develop technique useful for both social dancing and performance. Bronx Style Mambo will equip you with essential skills - spinning, stepping, keeping your frame - that are foundational for social dancing and other styles of salsa.
At Ewajo we have two teams. A development team (Ola Team) and a mastery team (Oni Team). While both strive for perfection, we recognise that different people are at different stages of their dance journeys.
