Each person registers
Your friend signs up for the same 4-week session under their own name. That way each of you has a spot, a waiver and a reminder before class.
You will still rotate
Once class starts, partners change every few minutes, so you and your friend will dance with others too. You can compare notes on the drive home.

Why Bachata with a Friend?
Bachata is a beautiful, expressive dance. Learning it with a friend adds to the fun. You can share the journey from your first steps to flowing across the dance floor. It makes for memorable evenings and a shared new skill. You will both experience the joy of learning something new. Plus, having a friend means built-in encouragement.
A familiar face can make a new environment feel more welcoming. Even though we rotate partners, seeing your friend in class can be comforting. It’s a shared activity that strengthens your bond. You'll have someone to practice with outside of class if you wish. This helps reinforce what you learn each week. It's an opportunity to create lasting memories together.
Learning a new dance style like Bachata is exciting. Doing it with a friend doubles that excitement. You can chat about your progress and cheer each other on. It's a great way to unwind and enjoy some active time. Forget about the day's stress and just dance. Bachata's rhythm is easy to love. Sharing that experience makes it even better. Many students find that bringing a friend enhances their learning experience greatly. It's a fun, social way to learn.
