Are beginners welcome at Bachata Room Boston?

Yes, our primary goal in the community is to introduce people in the Boston area to this amazing and super-easy dance called Bachata.

No partner or registration is needed; our classes of Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba (special events) are all beginner-friendly and super easy to follow along. Join us this week and join the fun!

What is Latin social dancing?

Social dancing is exactly what it sounds like. You partner up and hit the dance floor for fun and to learn new moves. Our social dances are friendly for beginners and are designed to help you learn the basics and be able to keep up on the dance floor quickly.

In social dancing, the emphasis is more on mastering the steps with your partner and relishing the company and the music, rather than on performance.

Dance Bachata in Boston

Bachata is a style of Latin dance that originates in the Dominican Republic. It is essentially a three-step dance with roots in Cuban hip motion. If that all sounds like a bunch of jargon to you, don’t worry! Before each social dance, we have a lesson that will teach you the basics.

Bachata has a rich history and has taken on several variants over the years. To learn more about this style, check out this in-depth explanation of Bachata style dancing.
