New Workshop

 This special workshop is open to dancers of any level. 

 

Whether you have danced in Salta or have never heard the word 'chacarera', this workshop is for you! 

Come along to experience one of Argentina's most upbeat folk dances that will leave you smiling from ear to ear.

Why not warm up gently with a  Zamba class the previous week in readiness for this workshop?

 

No partner required. All that is needed is your smile and your best foot forward.

Clothing - anything you feel comfortable moving in.

Shoes - socks or shoes without a heel.

 

Chacarera&Zamba workshops are best booked as a pair but registration for just one date is available.
