YARIMA GAVILAN HERRERA; Cuban dancer, performer, entertainer and dance teacher.

She come from Havana, where music is in the air, and dancing is part of everyday life. You see it in the way Cuban people walk, swinging the hips, relaxed and sensual, with rhythm and attitude.

They grow up watching family members dance and party at home and in the neighbourhood. As soon as they can walk, they start copying the older kids, as they practice the latest dance styles in the street. It's a natural occupation that is encouraged and enjoyed, and kids quickly learn that 'bustin' a move' is rewarded by laughter, applause and warm appreciation from those watching.

Cuba is a poor country in economic terms but rich in culture. Cuban music has traveled and fused with other popular styles, influencing musicians all over the world. Likewise Cuban dance styles, salsa in particular, but also cha-cha-cha and mambo have been embraced by dancers everywhere.

Many of Yarrima students have now traveled to Cuba and have come back to spread their enthusiasm for her country, its music and its people. Now, when she is visiting her family in Havana, she often see people from Australia dancing in the clubs or walking in the streets. The connection between the two countries is growing and will continue to grow as more people are inspired to travel to this special island in the Caribbean.

She can bring Cuban heat to your party, corporate function or club night. She will dance with joy and passion, and entertain your guests. Yarrima will teach you to dance Cuban Style either by coming to a class or by private lesson.
