We teach mainly six different partnered dance styles at Dança Latina Dunedin: Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Zouk Rueda and Tango. Keep scrooling to learn a little more about them!

Salsa

At Dança Latina we mainly teach patterns for linear Salsa on1, which is one of the variations of partner dancing that can be danced to Salsa music. Salsa on1 was originally popularized in Los Angeles, so some people also call it LA Salsa. It is now one of the most well-known forms of Salsa around the world.

Bachata

Bachata is a style of partner dance that originated on the Dominican Republic and it is usually danced to bachata music. It is danced widely all over the world and it is one of the easiest dance styles to learn.

Kizomba

Kizomba is an African partner dance which began in Angola around 1950s and is often referred as the African Tango. It is an awesome dance style to learn if you don't want to be memorizing patterns and set moves.

Zouk

Zouk (also known as Brazilian Zouk) is a sensual, fluid dance that has a strong connection between partners. It originated in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil where it evolved from Caribbean rhythms in the 1980s. It is a very modern dance style that is quickly getting popularized around the world.

Rueda Casino

Rueda Casino is a Cuban style of dance that originated in the 1950s. It is a way to dance to Salsa music with a group of couples in a circle, where a caller calls the moves and everyone executes it together.

Tango

Argentinian Tango is a classic partner dance that has been super popular for more than a century. It is considered the grandfather of most social dances, with it's moves and techniques being used in many different dance styles.

We also teach other partner dance styles such as Samba, Forró, Cuban Salsa, Cha-cha and others. They usually are taught in one-off workshops and at a lower frequency. Keep an eye out on our social medias and e-mail list to know when they'll be available again or book a private lesson directly with one of the teachers.
