Lady Styling
Styling is a skill of body awareness. This course teaches your body the correct alignment and mechanics to style effortlessly, in solo moments and in partnerwork. Arm styling is only the tip of the iceberg; it is about self-expression and confidence.

What you will learn
Five layers of styling, built from the ground up, because it is your body, not your arms, that does the styling.
-
Arm styling technique
Arm styling that flows from the body: placement, pathways, and intention behind every line.
-
Body isolations & waves
The isolations and waves that give your styling its texture and follow the energy of the music.
-
Footwork & shines
Footwork and shines that hold their own in any solo moment on the dance floor.
-
Spinning technique
Clean, balanced spins, prepared so they feel stable at any tempo.
-
Confidence & expression
The part that turns technique into presence: self-expression you can take onto any dance floor.
Everything here feeds straight back into your partner dancing, whichever level of the ladder you dance in.
Is this your class?
“I want my dancing to look and feel like me.”
You are in the right room. Around 1 year of dance classes is enough. The course is open to everyone beyond that, and every element is broken down from the mechanics up.
“I have never danced before.”
Build a base first with Bachata Beginner 0, Mondays 19:30 or Tuesdays 18:30, then come back for styling. The beginner guide is a good companion.

Good questions
Do I need a partner?
No, and here not even a rotating one. Lady Styling is danced solo from start to finish.
How much experience do I need?
Around 1 year of dance classes. The course is open to everyone beyond that: every element is broken down from the mechanics up, so dancers from every level of the ladder train side by side. Topics and combos run for two to three lessons each, so you can join at the start of any topic.
Can I join in the middle of a block?
Yes. Book your free trial class at any point in the block. After you book, we get in touch to confirm space and availability in the group.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you can move in and shoes you can spin in. Clean sneakers are perfect. Heels are welcome once your technique is ready, never required. 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.
