Latin Dance
Ballroom, Latin, Salsa and Swing Dance Classes:
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, from Roy Orbison
in the 50's to the Beatles in the 60's to Santana and some hip
hop at the millenium.

Rumba
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.

The simplest and most uptempo of the Latin dances, merengue originated in the Dominican Republic. It emphasizes a straight-ahead 8-count rhythm taken with Cuban Motion. Merengue packs the dance floor in Latin clubs and parties because of its simplicity, playfulness, and sexiness, and it can be learned more quickly than any other dance. For more info, click here. 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 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. We
offer Nightclub Freestyle Dancing only as a one-hour
private lesson. That's all you'll need! Want to get really polished and actually impressive? Join our Hip Hop class or Pop Culture class on Monday nights.
"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!"
