How does Bachata relate to Salsa Dancing
Bachata and Salsa dance styles, along with Cumbia and Merengue are common styles at Latin dance clus and dance socials. Utah Latin dance culture has grown significantly in the recent years and Bachata is definitely became a rival to Salsa in popularity. Generally, Bachata is cagetorized by slower tempo, less turn patterns and less spins but more body movement than Salsa. Both are played 50/50 equally in Utah's Latin dance socials right now. So learn both if you don't want to be standing 50% of the time at a dance party!

Important info before your 1st dance lesson

To schedule for the Beginner class click “sign up” above according to your preferred day of the week and style. Prepayment is required to register.
Please wear something comfortable for physical activity to your first lesson and select your footwear carefully. We recommend shoes with semi-smooth soles to avoid sticking or slipping on the dance floor. Dance shoes are available for sale at the studio and are a must for dedicated dancers.
Unless stated otherwise, all of our Level 1 classes can be joined on the 1st and 2nd weeks of the month. On average it takes 10-12 classes to complete Level 1 syllabus. Consider doing Private Lessons to speed up your learning process.
Our group class pricing options are per person. The cost per lesson goes down as students purchase larger packages ranging from $4 to $20 per class. Best deal is our "Unlimited Beginner Monthly Membership" that allows you to come to all Level 1 classes and Beginner workshops.
Dance partners are not required. During each of our group classes, instructors rotate partners regularly. Already have a partner? Great! Although students may choose to stay with a designated partner throughout the class, it is strongly recommended for your learning to rotate and practice with other students for optimal improvement. This practice also improves class quality for your fellow students.
