For this Summer 2025 Jesús La Rosa Pérez, has decided to fully dedicate his time and energy to the students whom will make the commitment to register for the structured and progressive training team system.

The idea of our training teams is that you’ll learn in a systematic way, allowing you to build skills step by step, week by week. When you commit, Jesús can fully focus on your development, crafting a plan that adapts to your growth and pushes you to become the best dancer you can be.

Orisha dances are a vital part of Afro-Cuban culture, rooted in the religious traditions of the Yoruba people, who were brought to Cuba during the transatlantic slave trade. These dances are expressions of devotion to the Orishas, which are deities or divine forces in the Yoruba religion.

The training syllabus for the season introduces you to the fundamental Orisha dances to begin developing your base to learn these dances. Each Orisha dance not only potentially develops your spiritual connection and expression but also enhances your dancing by improving rhythm, body isolation, musicality, and the ability to express a wide range of emotions and movements.

Why This Syllabus Will Benefit You?

Learning the dances of these Orishas connects you to the deeper cultural and spiritual roots of Afro-Cuban traditions. Each Orisha dance teaches you to embody a different kind of energy and rhythm, helping you become a more versatile and expressive dancer. The wide range of movements—from Elegguá’s playful agility to Changó’s fiery explosiveness—enhances your technique, body control, and ability to interpret different musical styles.

Orisha dances have the power to transform you mentally and emotionally by connecting you to the deep, spiritual essence of Afro-Cuban culture. As you embody the distinct energies of each Orisha, imagine tapping into forces of nature—like the calm wisdom of Obatalá or the fiery passion of Changó—that resonate within you. This journey of movement allows you to explore different aspects of your own personality and emotions, cultivating self-awareness, inner strength, and balance. Through these dances, you can release tension, express joy, or channel resilience, leading to a potentially even more profound sense of emotional liberation and mental clarity.

With years of teaching experience and a clear, methodical approach, Jesús has trained dancers worldwide. His passion and expertise make this training team the perfect opportunity for you to join these dances now in a systematic and progressive format with a group of other equally committed students.
