Ramon and Josipa are unique Croatian/Cuban couple, dancing, living, teaching and performing in Zagreb, Croatia. Love for Cuban dances brought them together several years ago and since than they are making their own dancing history in their school „Cuba, danza & corazon“

Ramon is a professional dancer, coming from Havana, Cuba. He finished their world famous dance academy „The Tropicana Habana“ where he also performed for two years. With ballet, contemporary and Cuban traditional, Afro and modern dance classes, he easily entered and danced in well known „Santiago Alfonso“ dance ensemble in Havana, with whom he performed from various theater and show programs dancing contemporary, cabaret, musicales until dancing Cuban traditional and modern dances with Cuban musicians. He was also Cuban salsa teacher to the foreigners in Havana.

Coming to Croatia, with Josipa he is opening dancing school where, with his crazy never ending energy, is continuously working on „building up“ Cuban atmosphere and way of life in Zagreb.

Josipa is dancing since she was a little girl. She finished primary ballet school in her home town Zadar, Croatia, and then joined Zadar contemporary dance company where she danced ballet, contemporary, jazz dance and other modern dances. She also fell in love with theater when she took several nonverbal theater seminars learning from international teachers. Coming to Zagreb, her way led her to the social dances where she was first met with the dancing in a couple.

Shortly after she discovers salsa and finds that Cuban dances were the thing she was looking for. She starts to improve by dancing and learning from Croatian and foreign instructors of Cuban dances. Shortly she starts to teach Cuban salsa and rueda de casino, and by Ramon coming to Croatia, two of them are becoming unique and refreshing mixture of Croatian/Cuban sabrosura.
