Most new Elite students are completely new to Latin dance. If that is you, our Introduction to Latin course is your starting point. Already danced before? Skip straight to our group-class pathway.
Learn Salsa and Bachata from the beginning in a structured four-week introduction designed for adults who have never danced before. Come alone, with a partner or bring friends.

Built for real beginners
YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DANCE.
That is what the course is for. We start with timing, weight changes and simple steps, then introduce partner connection and the foundations of Salsa and Bachata.
01
Start from zero
No previous dance experience, special fitness level or preparation required.
02
Come your way
Come alone, as a couple or with friends. Social classes are designed to help people mix naturally.
03
Build a real skill
Learn foundations you can eventually use at Latin socials, parties, weddings and nights out.
Two styles. One starting point.
Your introduction gives you a taste of both major social Latin styles before you choose where to go next.
Bachata · connection & musicality
Salsa
ENERGETIC. SOCIAL.
Build rhythm, basic steps, turns and partner connection in one of the world's best-known social dances.
Bachata
SMOOTH. CONNECTED.
Learn an accessible rhythm with a strong focus on partner connection, musicality and comfortable social dancing.
Four weeks. Two dances. Your first real moves.
