Frequently Asked Questions
Can I join if I haven't taken Level 1?
Yes — if you’ve learnt Bachata elsewhere and feel confident with the basics, you’re welcome to join. If you’re not sure which level suits you, we’re happy to help you find the best fit.
When can I start?
You can start Level 2 at any time. Each 4-week block focuses on a family of moves of varying complexity, and if you're familiar with the foundations you'll be able to join in comfortably.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. For footwear, choose shoes with smooth non-stick soles that allow you to pivot easily and that remain secure on your foot (dance shoes, dress shoes, or clean street shoes work well). Avoid rubber-soled running shoes if you can. The venue is climate-controlled for comfort and we also recommend you bring a water bottle.
What if I miss a class?
The 4-week course is designed for regular attendance, but we understand things come up. Missed classes aren’t refunded or carried over, as the course price is already discounted to reward consistent participation. If your schedule varies, pay-as-you-go is a flexible option and still lets you join any week.
Do I need a partner?
No, you don't need to bring a partner. We rotate partners during class so everyone gets to practice with different people, which helps you develop stronger leading and following skills.
Is there a discount for doing multiple classes?
You can take Level 1 and Level 2 on the same night and receive a 50% discount on the second class. Many dancers use Level 1 as a warm-up to reinforce their fundamentals before Level 2. There’s also time for social practice between classes, so arriving a little early is a great way to make the most of it.
