Bachata Classes in Portage Park
Make Mondays something to look forward to. Latin Street’s Bachata classes combine clear instruction, structured progression and plenty of guided practice in a welcoming environment for adult dancers.
Whether you are learning your first Bachata steps or continuing to develop your partner-work skills, you will receive practical instruction designed to help you feel more confident and connected on the dance floor.
What You’ll Learn
Throughout the four-week session, you will work on:
- Bachata timing and musical awareness
- Foundational steps and body movement
- Partner connection and communication
- Lead-and-follow technique
- Turns and practical partner-work combinations
- Confidence for social dancing
Each Monday builds on the previous class, giving you time to understand, practice and retain what you learn.
Choose Your Level:
Beginner
Perfect for new dancers or anyone who wants to strengthen their fundamentals. No previous Bachata experience is required. We begin with timing, basic steps, partner connection and essential lead-and-follow techniques.
Intermediate
Designed for dancers who already understand Bachata timing and basic partner work. Intermediate classes introduce more detailed technique, variations and combinations while improving control, clarity, connection and musicality.
Class Schedule
Bachata meets every Monday from 8:20 to 9:05 PM.
Classes are organized into progressive four-week sessions. Consistent attendance is recommended because each lesson builds on material introduced during the previous week.
No partner is required. You may register individually, with a friend or as a couple. Partner rotation may be used during class so students can practice with different people.
