Description
Looking to connect with your Latinx roots while learning to dance? Our Latinx Dance
Workshop is a vibrant, fun-filled experience where you’ll master the soulful moves of
Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue — all while enjoying the rich cultural rhythms of Latin
America. Perfect for beginners and seasoned dancers alike, this 3-hour session will
leave you energized, confident, and more connected to the music that defines Latinx
culture.

What Is Latinx Dance?

Latinx Dance refers to a collection of popular social dance styles that originated in Latin
America and the Caribbean. In this workshop, we focus on three of the most beloved
and recognizable forms:

  • Salsa: Fast-paced, full of spins, footwork, and Afro-Caribbean flair
  • Bachata: Romantic, rhythmic, and expressive, with a focus on hip movements
    and partner connection
  • Merengue: Joyful and energetic with simple steps and a lively beat that’s easy to
    follow

Each style tells a story — blending history, culture, and community through movement.

What to Expect in a 3-Hour Latin Dance Session

Every Saturday morning, our experienced instructors guide you step by step through
each dance form in a supportive and inclusive environment. Here’s how the workshop is
structured:

  • Warm-Up (15–20 Minutes): Light cardio and stretching to prepare your body and set the rhythm
  • Salsa Session (50–60 Minutes): Learn foundational footwork, timing, and turn patterns
  • Bachata Session (50–60 Minutes): Practice body isolation, musicality, and partner flow
  • Merengue Session (30–40 Minutes): Explore fast footwork and group dancing with upbeat music
  • Cool Down & Social Time (10–15 Minutes): Wind down with group stretching and free dance practice
