Latin Ballroom Dancing: Absolute Beginners

This course is an engaging and accessible introduction to Latin Ballroom dancing for adults of all levels — no partner or previous experience required.

Explore the energetic world of Latin dance through foundational steps and rhythms from popular styles such as the Cha-Cha-Cha, Rumba, and Samba. Each session introduces key techniques and movements, gradually building toward short routines that bring these beautiful dances to life.

Classes are designed to improve coordination, posture, rhythm, and musicality, with special emphasis on Latin choreography and expressive movement. Whether dancing solo or with a partner, you'll gain confidence on the dance floor while moving to the lively beats and elegant flow of Latin music.

Expect a motivating and supportive environment where skills grow steadily, stamina improves, and a full-body workout is built into the experience — all while discovering the joy of dance.

By the end of the course, students will be able to perform basic Latin dance sequences with clarity, confidence, and style.

Tap shoes are not required — nor is a partner - just bring comfortable, flexible footwear that allows you to move easily and pivot. Dance shoes or ballroom-style shoes are ideal, but not essential.

Most importantly, come ready to dance!
