Bachata Rueda Course – Starting Oct 7!
Bachata Rueda is bachata danced in a circle (“rueda” = wheel). A caller calls fun moves and everyone does them together, often swapping partners, it’s social, high-energy, and way less serious than it sounds. If you muck it up, great — just laugh and keep going. Perfect for beginners and seasoned dancers keen for plenty of fun, good tunes, and lots of laughter. All welcome, come have a boogie with us!
It will be 8-week Bachata Rueda course, kicking off this Tuesday
🗓 When: Every Tuesday, 6:30 pm → ~1 hour
📍 Where: Stoke Indoor Bowling Club, 206 Songer Street, Stoke, Nelson
💵 Cost - $130 per term, $20 casual
✨ What you’ll learn & experience:
- Over 30 rueda figures
- Beginner-friendly
- Focus on joy, fun and community
🌟 A note for dance leaders & aspiring bachata leaders
I’ll be honest — my favourite dance was always Cuban Salsa, and it took me years to start enjoy leading bachata. Now i love it. What changed it for me was Bachata Rueda.
- Dancing in a synchronised group and picking up leading cues instantly from others (mirror neurons at work!)
- Failing made fun, with lots of laughter
- No time to overthink
All of this transformed my leading — making it easier, more confident, and way more enjoyable.
On this course, I’ll share practical tips to help you lead with confidence and ease, while the rueda format does the rest.
👉 And ladies, if you’ve ever felt called to try leading, there’s no better place to start than in rueda!
So come join us — it’s going to be fun, playful, and full of dance magic.
