About Mijael Bueno
Mijael is a dancer and teacher with deep roots in both the popular and folkloric styles of Cuban dance.
He trained with top Cuban companies (Conjunto Folklórico Nacional, Banrrarrá) and performs internationally with the ICCD.
He’s a multiple-time rumba competition winner in Europe and in 2024 became the first non-Cuban to win Fiesta del Tambor in Havana.
Mijael’s teaching style is holistic – grounded in rhythm, character, emotion and improvisation. He’ll help you dance not just better, but deeper.
OTHER EVENTS
Next to our own events there are many Afro-Latin events worth mentioning.

Sunday Salsa
We highly recommend ‘Sunday Salsa’ at Cafe Loburg in Wageningen organized by Dewi Bloem. A fun dance matinee where dance lovers come together to enjoy the sounds and moves of Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Kizomba and other Afro Latin sounds. You will find Team LAfrique there to dance with you.
