In her ongoing dance classes at the Bürgerhaus Neckarstadt-West, Bettina Habekost specialises in Caribbean Dance & Dance Fusion.

Caribbean Dance is based on the forces of nature at the heart of Caribbean mythology, which give rise to a special sense of rhythm.

Dance Fusion blends different musical and dance styles into an individual form of expression: jazz, Afro-Caribbean, Latin, reggae, tango and Indian dance.
