About Latin Dance Classes
Why We Dance
I know how routine can get boring. At Motley, dance is my way to break free and connect with people who just want to have fun. No one has to be perfect here. If you’re nervous or think you’ve got two left feet, believe me, you’re not alone. This is about finding your crew and feeling good in your skin.
Pick Your Latin Groove
I teach the three main styles you’ll spot at any Latin dance party:
- Salsa and Bachata lessons for when you want to spice things up or connect on the dance floor.
- Kizomba if you’re after something smooth and grounded, with Urban Kiz and Semba thrown in for a twist.
All Are Welcome
Beginner friendly Latin dance classes mean you can walk in solo, zero experience needed. Most people start out just wanting to try. No partner? No problem, we mix things up so you meet new faces. Trial class is available if you want to dip your toes first.
More Than Just Moves
My classes don’t just teach steps. I focus on:
- Building connection and confidence
- Musicality, so you actually feel the music
- Technique, but not in a scary way
- Social Latin dance community skills - knowing how to vibe with others
How We Move
From absolute beginners to seasoned dancers, there’s a level for everyone. I offer regular batches so you progress over time, plus deep-dives like Kizomba dance workshops and styling bootcamps.
Beyond The Studio
We throw regular Latin dance party nights. It’s not just about the classes - it’s about showing up, having fun, and making friends who get your vibe.

My Story
Hey, we’re Motley Dance Company, and honestly, we’re just a wild bunch who love to move. Students, teachers, total dance geeks – all kinds of people, all kinds of stories. We started out wanting to make a space where you can forget the world and just dance, no pressure. Shy folks turn bold, friends trip and laugh, some even win big like Khushboo at Salsanama India. That’s the magic we chase – real connections, real fun.
