Latin Ballroom Dance

Ballroom dance, refers collectively to a set of partner dances, which originated in the Western world and are now enjoyed both socially and competitively around the globe. Its performance and entertainment aspects are also widely enjoyed on stage, in film, and on television. While historically ballroom dance may refer to any form of formal social dancing as recreation, with the eminence of dancesport in modern times the term has become much narrower in scope, usually referring specifically to the International Standard and International Latin style dances such as the Cha-Cha, Tango and Rhumba.

Tango

Tango is a dramatic, sensual social dance form that originated in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Originally danced frequently by same sex partners, (particularly men,) this smoldering dance is a dance with attitude! The most popular tango dance styles are the Argentine tango and the ballroom tango, often known as American or International Style; we teach ballroom style tango at OUT to Dance because of its clear simplicity, strong steady rhythm, and popularity in ballroom dance venues.

Cha Cha

An exciting, syncopated Latin dance of Cuban origin which originated in the 1950's, the Cha Cha gets its name and character from its distinct repetitive foot rhythm. It's playful and joyful and can be danced to a great variety of popular music, form Roy Orbison in the 50's to the Beatles in the 60s to Santana at the millenium.

Rhumba

Often called the Dance of Love, rhumba is a slow- to medium-tempo Latin American dance of Cuban origin in 4/4 time, which is characterized by sensual and smooth movements, Latin-style hip motion, and an elegant and flirtatious interplay between partners.

Nightclub Freestyle Dancing

If you feel awkward when faced with a dance opportunity in a club, party, or social event, you can find relief in just one private lesson in club dancing. This is the informal, popular dance where you're not touching your partner, just boogieing freely-- or not so freely, if you're currently feeling like a dork! You'll learn the simplest basics of shifting weight and what you can do with your feet and arms; after a one-hour lesson, you'll have the skills to finally break the ice and get out there and party. You won't be imitating John Travolta or memorizing fancy patterns; you'll be learning some simple, natural movements where you can blend in with the dancing crowd, feel relaxed, and have fun.

 

"Anyone who thinks they won't like ballroom dancing should really try one of your Hot Latin Ballroom dance classes; we were blown away. That made for one really fun date night every Monday!"
