OUR SERVICES FOR CLIENTS

Bachata

Bachata is a style of dance that originated in the Dominican Republic. It is very popular all over the world. Dancers alternate between close (romantic) and open position (more playful adding footwork, turns/figures, rhythmic torso etc.). This style is danced with soft hip movements and a tap with a small “pop” with the hip on the 4th beat (1, 2, 3, Tab/Hip). 

Salsa

Salsa is a Latin dance, associated with the music genre of the same name, which was first popularized in the United States in the 1960s in New York City. Salsa is a mixture of Cuban dances, such as mambo, pachanga and rumba, as well as American dances such as swing and tap. Very energetic and playful dance.

Kizomba

Kizomba dancing is in vogue sensual hip movements, ideal for dancing in pairs. It is a slow, melodious rhythm with an attractive cadence reminiscent of African music. Dance genre is originally from Angola. Kizomba is pure sensuality. The torso of the dancers is in contact with much of the dance.

Lindy Hop

The Lindy Hop is an American dance which was born in the Black communities of NY city. Lindy Hop combined elements of both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of African-American dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances. It is danced under Jazz music, so if you love jazz – it is perfect for you.
