Latin Dance Night

Dance your worries away!

Dancing provides immediate and long-term health benefits. It improves sleep quality, reduces high blood pressure and mitigates risks of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

We are offering a free Bachata dance class as part of our comunity outreach efforts in Orange County. Taking a dance class helps you see things from a different perspective, it helps you become more sympathetic.
