About this Event
Whether you’re brand new to dance or have some experience, this event welcomes everyone. No partner or dance background is required—just bring your energy, curiosity, and readiness to move.
About Lead & Follow Roles
In both Salsa and Bachata, we use the terms Lead and Follow rather than gendered labels.
- The Lead initiates the movement, guiding transitions and maintaining timing and connection.
- The Follow responds to the lead’s cues while bringing their own creativity, musicality, and styling to the dance.
Both roles are equally important and available to anyone, regardless of gender identity or expression. Participants are encouraged to choose the role that feels most natural—or even explore both over time!
When registering, please select one of the following ticket types to help us balance class pairings:
- Salsa – Lead
- Salsa – Follow
- Bachata – Lead
- Bachata – Follow
