Beginners Class Series (4 sessions) Mondays 6:15pm-7:15pm. May 13 – June 10, 2024. REGISTER HERE.

Already took this class or are familiar with the basics? Try the Intermediate one HERE!

This is a 4-class series designed for beginner students with little to no experience to learn and enjoy three popular Latin dance styles: Salsa, Bachata and Merengue! Join us and explore the possibilities of your body and how to communicate with others through dance, rhythm and flavor! Partners are not necessary! This class is taught as “leaders” and “followers” and and prioritizes creating a safe and inclusive space for everybody.

Classes are taught by Venezuelan dance instructor Juliana Mendonca (she/her). Juliana’s teaching style is not a traditional ballroom style latin dance class. She first teaches her students to connect to their body and to connect to the rhythms before getting to the steps and turns. This foundation will help you loosen up your hips, knees, shoulders and arms to allow you to get you own authentic feel for each genre and its unique rhythm!
