Choose from 2 amazing styles
Beginners Salsa
Tuesdays 6:45pm-7:30pm
The most famous latin dance style of them all is Salsa. We teach New York style Salsa (also known as On2 or sometimes called Mambo). The fun energy of Salsa is something no other style can match.
The class is perfect for Absolute Beginners who’ve never danced before – if you can walk and count to 8, we guarantee we can teach you to dance.
Come on your own and dance with our other students, or bring a friend – either way you’ll have tons of fun.
Upcoming Beginners Salsa start dates for 2024:
- 6:45pm Tuesday 16th April
- 6:45pm Tuesday 14th May
- 6:45pm Tuesday 11th June
Beginners Bachata
Thursdays 6:45pm-7:30pm
This latin dance style is a bit more sexy and sensual, but also easier than Salsa. It’s Salsa’s lesser known cousin from the Dominican Republic, but it’s just as popular (if not, more).

I recently had the pleasure of taking one of Kristi's dance classes, and I can confidently say it was one of the most fun and informative dance classes I've ever taken. Not only is Kristi an incredibly skilled dancer and teacher, but she also has a hilarious sense of humor that keeps everyone in the class engaged and entertained.
Kristi's teaching style is both challenging and fun, and she has a unique ability to break down complex dance moves into easy-to-understand steps. Her energy is contagious, and she always manages to create a positive and welcoming environment for her students.

In my opinion, they are the best bachata dancers and teachers of the Gold Coast. They helped me to upgrade my skills very quick, explaining the techniques and little details that make a big difference on the dance floor.

Kristi is a phenomenal Latin dance artist and teacher at ELD. Classes don't just teach random moves and patterns; there is also a focus on the technique and fundamentals behind each move which lead to clearer leads and connection.
Highly recommended!

Kristian and Kristi are awesome teachers and have taken my bachata dancing to another level. I used to struggle with body movement and sensual bachata leading, but I've made great progress since taking their classes. Their concentration to technique is second to none, something which is lacking is many other schools I've danced at. They cater for beginners and experts alike.

I have been doing mostly Cuban dancing as a hobby for approximately 8 years and I wanted to improve my technique and LA Style dancing so I decided to book some 1 on 1 private lessons with Kristi.
In just 2 lessons I have noticed an improvement in my style and technique.
Kristi is a great teacher, easy to understand, provides wonderful direction, is very experienced and down to earth.
I highly recommend Kristi and Elite Latin Dance Co to anyone wanting to start dancing, or even if you are more experienced and want to improve.

Kristi Hall is a master teacher of Latin technique. I went to Elite Latin Dace Company to be challenged and to improve my capacity as a performer and a social dancer. After 6 months I can honestly say I have achieved my goals. But what I didn't realise starting out at Elite was that I would gain a community of friends; people who love dance as much as I do and who want to have have fun together doing what we love. Thanks Kristi for all that you have taught me, for your patience, your kindness, and your expertise, and for giving me an outlet to pursue my dance with such a great group of people.
