Adults

Adult classes

Merengue, bachata, salsa, cha-cha-cha and social ballroom, from a first step to a Friday night.

Come on your own, with a partner or with a friend. Partners change every few minutes, so no one waits to be asked. Beginners are welcome in every dance, and bachata night on the first and third Friday is the place to try it all with music.
