Cuban salsa in Almere — what you need to know
For Almere dancers, Tropische Dansschool Burnet is the anchor. The school has been around for over 36 years, giving it one of the longest track records in Dutch Latin dance. The Cuban curriculum runs from beginners through advanced and is rounded out with workshops and performance groups for anyone wanting more than socials. Almere itself doesn't have large fixed Cuban parties, but easy access to Amsterdam (15-minute train) means dancers usually combine — lessons in Almere, parties in the Randstad. The community is mixed in age and background, and because the school hosts in-house socials after course blocks, you quickly know people to dance with. For anyone living in Flevoland who doesn't want to drive to Amsterdam every night, Burnet is a valuable constant.
