Good to know
Latin dance FAQs.
Which Latin dance style is best for beginners?
Salsa and Bachata are both popular starting points. The best fit depends on the music and movement you enjoy, and complete beginners can build the foundations through Elite's beginner pathway.
Do I need to choose only one dance style?
No. Many social dancers learn more than one style. Starting with one can make the first few weeks simpler, then you can add other styles as your timing and partnerwork become more comfortable.
Do I need a partner to learn Salsa or Bachata?
No. Elite's group-class approach is built around social dancing, so students can attend without bringing a partner and learn to dance with different people.
Where does Elite teach Latin dance?
Elite Latin Dance Co. is based on the Gold Coast, Queensland. The returning group-class venue and timetable will be published once confirmed, while private lessons are available now.
