Bachata Group Class

Sat, Oct 17, 5:00 PM

From Bottega Bellantuono Ballroom & Latin Dancers

**Come learn to dance at NYC's most beautiful ballroom studio!** We teach lead and follow, not a list of moves — so you can dance with anyone, not just the person who learned the same pattern... Saturday afternoons, an hour of bachata, whether you've never tried it or you've been faking your way through it at parties. It's the most forgiving of the Latin dances to start with — the footwork is simple enough to pick up in one class, and everything after that is feel. Come with a partner or come on your own; we rotate, and nobody sits out. Salsa follows at 2:15, and taking both is $10 off. Details — Saturdays, 1:00–2:00. $30 per class, or $50 for both Saturday classes. No partner needed. Come in something you can move in and shoes that slide easily on a wood floor — leather or suede soles are ideal, but not required. Each class stands on its own and the material changes week to week, so there's no catching up to do and no wrong week to start.
