What you will learn

Each class focuses on one of the classic Latin dance styles:

  • Cha-cha-cha – playful, sharp and rhythmically rich
  • Samba – the carnival-inspired bounce and joy of Brazil
  • Rumba – sensual and expressive with slow, controlled movements
  • Paso Doble – dramatic and bold, drawing from Spanish bullfighting traditions
  • Jive – fast-paced, energetic and guaranteed to lift your mood

You’ll not only learn the technical steps and footwork, but also explore the cultural origins and musical influences behind each style—helping you dance with authenticity and passion.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
