Interested in couple dancing?

COUPLE DANCES

Salsa
: Is the most popular couples style of dance in the world, and it’s quit easy to learn. The good thing about salsa is that if you enjoy going out, you are able to dance from Monday to Sunday, because salsa parties are very popular in Sydney.
We also teach from beginners to the professional levels, so, if you fancy becoming a performer we tailor for that too. More information   -   Video Salsa On1

On2 Salsa: Is basically salsa danced on the off beat of the music. The rhythm change enables you to slow your dance down and enjoy yourself by moving your body and relaxing more in your dance using everything you have already learnt in your Salsa On1 plus more.
It is very popular all around the world and it helps you improve your Salsa technique as well. You should try it for one course and see if you like. Video Salsa On2 (Watch from 3:00min)

Zouk/Lambada: Is also a couple style of dance; it involves a lot of body movement and is considered the most sensual Latin dance in the world. Zouk is essentially a variation of Lambada - whilst Lambada is more acrobatic, Zouk is more stylised and utilises a lot of turns. Although it is based upon that familiar 3/4 rhythm, it uses a fairly different footwork technique. More information   -   Video Zouk

Bachata: This popular dance rhythm is from The Dominican Republic and has quite easy basics with a sensuous touch on the hips movement; it is an intense close dance style including many turn variations. Bachata is defined as fun, merriment, a good time, or a spree, but in the Dominican Republic, in addition to the emotional quality of fun and enjoyment suggested by the dictionary definition, it referred specifically to get-togethers that included music, drink, and food. More information   -   Video Bachata

Gafieira (also called Samba de Gafieira): Is a ballroom dance expression of Brazilian samba musical rhythm. The samba music played by a ballroom orchestra, or the dancing hall where it is performed is also referred as to Gafieira. Gafieira is usually an elegant partner dance, although in artistic performances it is not uncommon mix the solo steps of Samba no Pe.  More information - Video Gafieira

Cha-Cha: Is also a couple style of dance, which consists of small steps and swaying hips. Very popular nowadays in Sydney’s clubs. More information - Video Cha Cha

Forró: Is a kind of North Eastern Brazilian dance, danced in couples, as well as a word used to denote the different genres of music which accompanies the dance. It has a very simple basic step but can be elaborated to tricks, dips and turn patterns. Also the music has such a nice beat to dance to. More information

Kizomba: Is one of the most popular genres of dance and music created in Angola. Derived directly from Zouk music, it is a genre of music with a romantic flow mixed with African rhythm. The kizomba dancing style is known to be very sensual. Kizomba was developed in Angola in late 1989 to early 1990's. It is a fusion of Semba (the predecessor of samba) with the Zouk music styles from the French Caribbean Islands.  Video Kizomba
