Frequently Asked Questions
- When can I start learning Bachata?
- We recommend new dancers to bachata join in week 1 or 2 of any four-week block to build a solid foundation. Weeks 3 and 4 introduce more complex moves but remain accessible to beginners that are quick learners. Experienced dancers are welcome to jump in at any point.
- What should I expect?
- Beginners Bachata classes cover foundational timing and footwork, then partner sequences. Each lesson includes social practice time.
- Do I need a partner?
- No. We rotate pairs throughout class for an inclusive, social vibe. You can bring your own partner if you like but we encourage you to also change partners as it aids learning. If ultimately you decide to dance exclusively together you can.
- What should I wear?
- Comfortable attire and everyday street shoes are fine. Smooth-soled dance shoes are welcome but can be slippery; grippy trainers can hinder turns. Bring water. The hall is climate-controlled.
