SOCIAL DANCING

If competing is not your main focus, but you have a strong desire to dance gracefully to music, either by yourself or with a partner, our socially-oriented programs are the perfect starting point! We currently offer four unique-style programs for our social groups:

  • Basics of Solo Latin American Dancing: This class takes place every Friday at 11.30am and focuses on the fundamental techniques of solo Latin American dances.
  • Syllabus of Solo Latin American Dancing: This class meets every Tuesday at 8.15pm and delves deeper into the technical elements of Cha cha cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive. Although the program is similar to our professional and pre-professional classes, it is simplified for newcomers to easily grasp while still providing a genuine DanceSport experience. This class is suitable for individuals aged 16 and above.
  • Dance Teams: These special classes occur every Monday at 1.15pm and every Friday at 10.30am. Designed for dancers who aspire to perform at showcases and similar events, these classes offer an opportunity to enhance your skills and showcase your talent.
  • Join us and explore the joy of dancing without the pressure of competition!

In addition, we provide an extensive range of private programs, which includes personalized Wedding dance choreography. Our talented dancers can also add an extra touch of excitement to your event by performing a captivating Latin or Ballroom dance show for your guests. Furthermore, they can even teach you and your friends a few dance moves to get the party started. Lastly, keep in mind that dance lessons and classes make a wonderful gift. You can easily purchase gift certificates for any desired amount either at our studio or by sending an email to dance@nikadanceacademy.com.
