6 Week Latin Dance Series by Ultimate Ballroom (6/13 - 7/25, 2024)
Join us this summer to enjoy learning Latin dance styles!
Latin dance has a distinctive musical genre characterized by powerful, rhythmic, often syncopated music played traditionally with percussion and stringed instruments. The music embraces a rich cultural mix derived from countries including but not limited to Cuba, Brazil, Spain, the United States, and parts of Africa.
These dances are often characterized by ‘Cuban’ hip movements.In this six week course we will explore many of the Latin dance styles from the traditional Cha Cha and Rumba and Samba to the styles that have evolved into ‘club’ dances such as Merenge and Bachata.
All classes will be taught by Guest Teacher Yana Miekhova from Ultimate Ballroom Dance Studio.
