Authentic
I’ve yet to encounter a teacher in Newcastle with the experience and passion that this man has. His style is super-literate, interesting and authentic.
Don’t just take my word for it, though…
If you keep your eyes peeled on Facebook, he offers free taster sessions for beginners.
It may be of interest not just for people who are new to Salsa in general, but those that know cross-body and want to know more about that Cuban stuff you’ve seen at socials.
I feel that the style encourages the student not to simply memorize a sequence of moves but to feel the music and build a connection between leader and follower.
Yersin’s classes are very animated and physical, and are injected with lots of culture to give the moves context.
Regulars are friendly and chatty. Once you’ve got the basics down as a smaller class, you can expect to be challenged and pushed to improve.
About the main man…
There’s a lot more on his site over on salsafro.co.uk.
