How the night runs
The evening opens with a salsa lesson at 7:00, moves to bachata at 7:50 and then cumbia, and finishes with open dancing until 11.
Not the 4-week session
The social is a separate $15 ticket. It does not replace or count toward the $95 bachata course. Think of it as the place to use what you learned in class.
Good for nerves
Because the crowd includes plenty of current students, it is a relaxed first social. Ask anyone to dance.
