A New Hobby from Zero

Nobody is born dancing. Bachata is built on 10 fundamental techniques of leading and following, taught across the beginner courses over your first year of dancing, and Beginner 0 starts that path with the very first ones, in a room full of people who all decided to begin.

  1. The welcome

    We welcome you into the studio: a room full of people starting from zero, just like you.

  2. The first steps

    You learn to hear the beat of Bachata music and take your first steps with it.

  3. The first figures

    Those steps become your first partnerwork figures. Partners rotate all class, so you try them with everyone, and meet new people who share your new hobby.

Would you like to know more about Bachata and dancing before the course begins? Read Your First Class, our beginner guide, and arrive on day one already feeling at home.

Is this your class?

“I have never danced a step in my life.”

Then this is your room. Beginner 0 assumes nothing at all: not one step, not one count. Everyone around you starts from exactly the same place.

“I already have a few months of experience.”

Then our Bachata Beginner 3 class is likely the better fit: it builds turn patterns and partnerwork on top of the basic you already have.

Good questions

Do I need any experience at all?

No. Beginner 0 exists precisely so that nobody in the room has experience. Every single step is taught from zero, and the whole class starts together on day one.

When does the next class series start?

The next 8-week series starts on Monday, 7 September 2026 at 19:30. If you are curious about joining mid-series, ask us first. We will tell you honestly whether the current week is a good entry point. The trial class is free either way.

Do I need a partner?

No. Partners rotate throughout the class, so you dance with everyone. Most people come alone.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move in and shoes that let you turn. Clean sneakers are perfect. Coming straight from work? A change of shirt, deodorant, and mints make the hour nicer for everyone. Our what-to-wear guide has the details.

What if I miss a week?

You can declare up to two planned absences at registration and one sick day per pass, and we extend your pass by that class day. The full policy is in our terms.
