About this Event

Bachata Workshop Series — PLEASE READ 💃


Your ticket includes:
• All 3 parts of our progressive bachata workshop
• 1 social dance night at Epiphany
• A full month of dancing, practice, community, and real progress
• One ticket covers everything — no add-ons needed

This is a true progressive series — each class intentionally builds on the last so you actually grow week to week.


Classes are advanced-beginner to low-intermediate friendly.
(If you're brand-new, our regular socials are beginner-friendly!)

East Studio – Athenaeum Theatre
2936 N Southport Ave, Chicago, IL
3rd Floor

How to find us:
Enter through the main Southport entrance. Take the stairs or elevator to the 3rd floor.
Walk down the hall, turn right, then right again through the single glass door.
East Studio will be on your left, just north of the Music Room.

INCLUDED SOCIAL — Wednesday, 2/18
Epiphany Center for the Arts
201 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL
This is a full bachata social with the wider Chicago dance community.
It’s scheduled perfectly between Parts 2 and 3 so you can practice everything you’ve learned.



WHY THIS WORKSHOP IS WORTH IT

• You actually improve.
Most classes teach random patterns each week. This workshop is intentionally structured so you build rhythm, timing, connection, and usable partnerwork.

• You won’t feel lost.
We keep the level consistent and the pacing supportive. Everyone’s here to learn — not judge.

• You build a dance crew.
Three classes + a social = a built-in community. People make real friends in these workshops.

• You get real-world practice.
The included Epiphany social gives you a perfect chance to try your skills in a welcoming, lively environment.

• It’s an insane value.
Three classes + one social + multiple instructors + structured progression…
This would normally run $150–$250 elsewhere.
We keep it accessible so Chicago can dance.

WHO THIS IS FOR
• People who want to level up their bachata
• Anyone who can keep a beat and wants structure + real progress
• Dancers who want confidence for Bachata on a School Night

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
• Someone looking for a one-time “try it once” class — this is a progressive workshop
