Kubansk DANSPARTNER:

Vi rekommenderar att du bokar en danspartner mot en extra kostnad. Med en kuban att dansa med under lektionerna lär du dig mer. Åker du till kongressen utan en danspartner i din dansnivå och inte bokar någon danspartner på Baila en Cuba är det inte säkert att du har någon att dansa med på lektionerna.
