Get ready to heat up the dance floor with our exciting Latin Sampler series! This 10-week class is perfect for beginners and experienced dancers alike, offering a dynamic introduction to four of the most popular and vibrant Latin dances: salsa, bachata, samba, and merengue. Each week, you'll learn foundational steps, rhythms, and techniques while exploring the rich culture and energy of these dances.
- Salsa: Known for its fast footwork and spins, salsa is the life of any party. You'll learn the basics of this lively, flirtatious dance and how to move confidently to the rhythm of songs like "Vivir Mi Vida" by Marc Anthony and "Tu Me Vuelves Loco" by Frankie Ruiz.
- Bachata: With its smooth, romantic sway and close connection, bachata is all about emotion. You'll discover how to glide effortlessly across the floor to hits like "Loco" by Enrique Iglesias and "Bailando Bachata" by Chayanne.
- Samba: Straight from the heart of Brazil, samba is a high-energy, bouncy dance filled with rhythm and passion. You'll learn its signature movements and captivating style to songs like "Bailando" by Enrique Iglesias and "Samba de Janeiro" by Bellini.
- Merengue: This Dominican favorite is simple to learn and so much fun to dance! With its fast-paced two-step, you'll be moving to the infectious beats of songs like "Suavemente" by Elvis Crespo and "Nadie Se Muere" by La Makina.
By the end of this series, you’ll have the confidence and skills to dance the night away at any Latin event.
