Events & Socials
Practice what you learn
The Latin dance community is a friendly and social place to be. We offer regular dance practicas, parties and events where you can use and practice everything that you’ve learned in our classes.
We also run workshops in between terms, which usually contain content that fall outside of our regular curriculum. Sometimes we have special guest teachers (from NZ and overseas) who will share their expertise with you - so keep an eye out, you don’t want to miss them!
