Latin Fusion's musical style has an authentic Latin feel, providing dancers with sensual and
fiery rhythms. The band draws from the best of Cuban rhythms, such as rumba, Guaguanco, Salsa, and Latin beats. Formed in 2002 Latin Fusion has a distinctive sound, with energetic tunes and seeped in Cuban influence. Latin Fusion communicated through music as a way of overcoming language and cultural barriers.
Ritmo Caliente Dance Academy is led by exceptional dancer and teacher Liliana Sputore. Salsa is a syncretic dance form with origins from the Cuban Son and the Afro-Cuban rumba. Lilana's personal dancing style is closely connected to her understanding of Latin rhythms in salsa. This is a result of her long-term training and work in interpreting this complex type of music and is also due to her exposure to this dance and music from an early age in her country of origin - Argentina.
