Bachata is a slower, Latin dance that focuses on strong hip movements and simple footwork. The music is typically romantic, which reflects in the sensual body movements of the dance. Get close with your partner as you experience the story of love told through music.

SALSA

Salsa dancing is becoming increasingly popular all over the world! Salsa is a fantastic dance for beginners because it looks impressive but is actually quite simple to learn. The word “salsa” means “spicy” or “hot” in Spanish, which gives this dance its heat! This dance consists of quick footwork, multiple spins, and turns – it really is a must-have if you want to learn how to Latin Dance!

MERENGUE

Merengue is a high-energy dance that isn't too difficult to master. Its origin lies in marching, but it has since turned into something much more rhythmical. Mastering the Merengue is not only a great way to have fun, but also practise your Cuban motion (hip actions) that will enhance all your Latin Dances.

Zouk

Zouk is a sensual and dynamic dance that originated in the French Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique and has since spread around the world. Zouk is characterized by its smooth and fluid movements, often described as "liquid motion." It has a strong focus on connection and musicality, with dancers interpreting the music and expressing it through their movements.

SAMBA

Samba may look easy when performed by dancers, but it is more challenging to master than other dances.
It is very fast and consists of quick steps, vertical bouncing, knee movement, body swaying, and "pendulum motion". If you're looking for an upbeat dance that is full of energy and fun to watch, the Samba should be on your list once you master easier Latin dances.

MAMBO

The Mambo is a fun, energetic Latin dance that includes fun kicks and flicks. Its name comes from the Spanish verb "mambo", meaning "to shake", which perfectly describes the movement of the hips and feet in this catchy dance. Its flashy footwork is sure to get you up and moving.

BOLERO

Bolero is a slow, beautiful, and expressive dance that combines the patterns of Rumba with the rise and fall action of the Waltz. It creates a softness that makes this dance stand out among Rhythm dances. At the same time, the dynamic change of dancers’ positions creates a very dramatic and romantic look.
