We are one of the only schools in Brisbane that teaches Latin dance to kids. This is a big passion of ours as our director Yasim is from Cuba.
Latin dance infuses a vibrant energy into every style taught at Paradox Studio, spanning from our tiny program to teens, ensuring a strong connection to Yasim’s roots and creating a fusion of dance styles. Our mission is to not only educate children in technique but also expose them to the rich cultural heritage associated with Latin dance. By incorporating Latin elements into various dance forms, we instil a deep passion within our students’ hearts.
In the dynamic Latin Fusion class, directed by the talented Yasim from Cuba, an exciting blend of jazz, Latin, and urban dance styles come together to create a captivating and innovative dance experience. Drawing from his Cuban heritage and extensive knowledge of dance, Yasim seamlessly combines choreography with Latin techniques, infusing each step with a unique flair. As the energetic beats fill the studio, students eagerly embrace the fusion of different genres, immersing themselves in a world where traditional Latin rhythms intertwine with contemporary movements.
Yasim’s passion for both Latin and urban dance forms shines through as he guides his students through intricate routines, encouraging them to explore their creativity and expressiveness. With each class, the students not only refine their technical skills but also broaden their understanding of the diverse world of dance. The Latin Fusion class serves as a testament to the power of artistic fusion, inspiring the dancers to push boundaries, break stereotypes, and create something truly extraordinary on the dance floor.
