Class Description
Classes designed with absolute beginners in mind.
In our Level 1 (Beginners) Bachata courses, you will cover the basic steps and rhythm, turn patterns for both the leaders and the followers, different passes and transitions between the steps, dips and other footwork.
By the end of your beginners Bachata course, you can expect to be comfortable with all of the above combined in easy but impressively looking routines you can put in practice at any social event or party. You will also be ready to move on to our Level 2 (Improvers) Bachata courses.
I didn't expect to learn so much in such a short period of time! The classes were well structured but also great fun. I am onto my level 2 course now and still loving it!

FAQs
-
What to wear in a Bachata dance class?
Smart casual clothing and comfortable shoes. We recommend small heel shoes for the ladies and leather sole shoes for the gentlemen. Please no stilettos, boots or trainers with a strong grip.
-
Do I need a partner to join a course?
No, we frequently rotate partners throughout the class to ensure all leading and following techniques are working well.
-
I come with a partner, can we stay dancing together and not rotate with the others?
I come with a partner, can we stay dancing together and not rotate with the others? We rotate partners in our classes as we have found that dancing with different people teaches better leading and following skills which ultimately makes dancing with our own partner (if you have one) a better and more pleasurable experience. If you are interested in learning to dance as a couple, please check our Beginners Ballroom & Latin courses.
