The Son Rumbero Academy, in step with technological advances, now opens a virtual classroom that will allow you to access an interesting range of online courses open to all through distance education processes with invited international instructors.

The teaching and learning processes are led hand in hand by education professionals, people who handle various tools and techniques that allow reaching the objectives of generalized instruction, now, the means and the contexts that affect this process are in the same way. of great importance to meet the aforementioned goals, hence the institutions invest so much time in physical improvements for the setting of the spaces destined to unite these processes.

It is not new to speak that technological means have invaded all areas of knowledge, there is no longer an area or content that is not already in process or in the process of being taught through the internet, hence the term distance learning. It is not something that escapes from the normality of our day to day.

Professor José Manuel Pérez, director of the Son Rumbero Academy with a great career in the field of salsa and education professional in the area of ​​computer science, is carrying out a process of teaching dance through virtual means, in this case, using the so famous virtual classrooms, where it focuses on asynchronous and asynchronous communication processes by which, the didactic interaction with the students predominates as the elementary basis of teaching, the student becomes the main center of self-information managing their learning through tutors and classmates from the open classroom for the specific dance specialty, is learning to dance by learning, it is doing it between appropriate means and environments.

The ways and methods of how to educate in the world of dance have always been maintained, in fact many people look for different alternatives given the circumstances of their tasks, work, home, occupations, in itself, an endless number of causes motivate the desertion when it comes to complying with schedules and routines in dance halls or gyms…

How many do not avoid entering this face-to-face modality due to little free time or the long time it takes to travel to a location, hence new ideas arise that facilitate access to world of dance from any corner of the world and at the time you want, and who would not like to adjust their classes to the hours and days they prefer, even more so if they can change them weekly according to their availability.

The Son Rumbero Academy project is not an original project, E-Learning and virtual classrooms have been in the educational world for several years, only that for the context of dance it was present in tutorial videos, a positive element but more of the same circle for some:

With a virtual classroom, the teaching process is extended, it not only depends on what the student has seen and practiced, in this we obtain constant supervision of the process, teachers dedicated to nourishing theoretical information and practicing something extremely important when understanding music and shaping it in dance it is about taking evaluations, participating in forums or conversations with several students in the same classroom, surveys, tutorial videos, correction process by videos sent to the teacher, easy access to multimedia elements…

from songs to explanatory audios, a world full of of elements that support to a greater degree the fact of learning from any dance discipline, not to mention seminars or professional courses, certifications of improvements in methodological processes in teaching for teachers and instructors, going from evaluation processes for dance competitions to complete percussion courses, a whole world of knowledge and elements given to the me You work in dance and now in music.

In the same way, they are betting on a new teaching method for beginners, those who perhaps want more privacy when starting steps in the world of salsa or another genre, new media that can contribute to the development of the diffusion of salsa in the world.
