6-7pm Intro to Salsa and Bachata

This class will introduce basic latin movement and beginner steps to Salsa and Bachata.

7-8pm Beginner Cha Cha

The Cha Cha is a playful and flirtatious dance known for its vibrant energy. Although it is traditionally danced to up-beat music with a Latin or Cuban beat, today it is common to dance the Cha Cha to many current styles of music including Top 40, Pop and R&B. The Cha Cha is a great dance to learn for weddings and social events. We will focus on the American style of Cha Cha.
