Your questions, answered
Everything you need to know before your first class.
Comfortable clothes you can move in — jeans are fine. Wear clean, smooth-soled shoes if you have them (trainers work too, just avoid anything that grips the floor). No special dance shoes needed.
Honestly? The first five minutes might feel a bit new. But the class is structured so you're moving and laughing within minutes. Everyone remembers being a beginner — the room is on your side.
Both are Latin partner dances, but they feel very different. Salsa is faster and more energetic with complex footwork. Bachata is slower, more intimate, built on a simple side-to-side rhythm. It's widely considered one of the most beginner-friendly Latin dances — you can be dancing socially after one class. We teach Bachata at all our locations.
You can turn up on the night, but we'd love a heads-up. Send us a WhatsApp message and we'll be expecting you — it also means we can answer any questions before you arrive.
No. We rotate partners so you dance with everyone. Come solo, with a friend, or as a couple.
If you've never danced Bachata, start in Beginners. If you've done a few months and know the basic step, Improvers. If you can dance socially and want to refine technique, Intermediate. If in doubt, message us on WhatsApp.
Most people feel comfortable dancing socially after 4–6 weeks of weekly classes. Everyone progresses at their own pace.
No. The basic step is a simple side-to-side rhythm. Most beginners are dancing with a partner within their first class.
Every class night ends with a free social party where you can practise what you've learned in a relaxed setting. It's the best part of the night.
