It’s fun, it’s social and it’ll get you moving! So try Latin dancing by coming to our relaxed, fun, in-person 4-week Introduction to Latin Dancing course.

Why learn Salsa and Bachata?

Mainly because it’s a great way to spend your time! Plus it’s a lot more satisfying than Netflix marathons (although those are great, too).

You might not have noticed it before but Latin dancing is actually very popular in Brisbane with thousands of people attending classes and social dancing events every week. It attracts a very diverse group of individuals including university students, medical professionals, small business owners, school teachers, engineers, labourers, designers, business managers, accountants and dentists.

If you enjoy travelling, Salsa and Bachata open up a worldwide network of friends and opportunities. This course will take you from “two left feet” to being able to understand and dance the basics of the most popular Latin dance styles anywhere in the world.

Why learn with Dance Culture?

Dance Culture has a welcoming and encouraging community that has been built over the past 12 years. Our priority is first and foremost to create a safe, welcoming, encouraging and supportive space in which staff and students may learn, grow and evolve.

Dance partner not needed!

You do not need to bring a dance partner because we rotate partners during class. Singles and couples are welcome. Our youngest student is currently 18 years old and our oldest is about 75. Most of our students are around 20 to 40 years old. Please contact us first before enrolling a student younger than 18. Some people bravely come to this course by themselves. Some bring their Significant Other. Some come with a group of friends or workmates.

How many people will be in the class?

You will typically find approximately 30 or 40 students per class depending on which room of our studio we use. Lately, we are introducing to Latin dance approximately 130 “not yet dancers” every month and the courses have been selling out in advance.

What to bring & wear?

Bring a bottle of water and wear some comfortable clothes (t-shirt, jeans/leggings and sneakers are fine).

When?

Due to its popularity, we can now offer this course on three different days and at two different locations so that you can choose the one that best suits your schedule. Each iteration of the course normally runs at the same time and day for four consecutive weeks. The upcoming courses are:
